Title: 2.2 dti fuel leak around diff area
Post by: Boiler Man on 17 January 2022, 15:20:50

Hi Guys

Hoping for a bit of advice please.
My 02 - 2.2 dti estate has suddenly developed a fuel leak. It is dripping off the rear diff only when the engine is running.

I haven't managed to get it off the ground yet to have a look, but wondered if the fuel lines run over the diff from the tank or does anyone have a diagram of the fuel line route.

TIA.

Fuel tank cover plate is probably rotten.

Acess plate in the boot floor :y

That sounds expensive, is it repairable or am I going to struggle for parts?

I've had 3 Omega estates in the past and never had a problem in this area, so not familiar with the set up.

It's largely an age thing.

This will help, but a repair might need to be creative... ;)
