Remanufactured Injectors
Greetings 2015 Gen 3 with CVT 91k, only had this car a few months but it has needed the Manifold cleaning, and will need new injectors
P219A errors upon reading the code fuel injector
got the car 500 miles ago, don't drive it much, not really looking forward to the price tag of new injectors $700 plus labor or me doing it.
There seem to be reputable shops selling rebuilt injectors, is it worth it?

Welcome. In the US at least, all the 2015s and a few thousand early 2016s have a technical service bulletin for injector / rail replacement if they failed under warranty. I believe this is a design flaw, though Honda will probably never admit it.
Problem is, lots of injectors fail after the warranty ends, and Honda has no legal obligation to help you then. Here in the US, it's an easy $2-3K repair, parts and labor. Really only available new as quad-matched sets, which ups the price.
I don't think Honda has this one worked out yet. We're still hearing reports of early injector failure, even in the latest model years.
Can you get away with installing used or rebuilt injectors? I don't know, but I still worry about the original rail design, and thinking that it will happen all over again if it really is a design flaw of the entire system.

I always watch my dash like a hawk, hoping that I don't see the "Christmas tree" of warning lights that sounds common when the injector(s) go(es)....so far so good, '15 with maybe 65,000 miles....still runs just fine, only thing (I hope) in my near future, like spring, is a new set of tires, probably go with 205s....but these damm 185/70 Coopers the previous owner put on just won't wear out.....which is a good thing, really, but am looking fwd to slightly meatier rubber on the road. And I guess it's time to have my manual gearbox fluid drained and filled, but it feels fine
