2.5TD leaking injector?
« on: 25 January 2010, 16:08:05 »




As you can see in the close up picture there seems to be a well of oil surrounding the injector lock nut and when engine running can see bubbling air bubbles coming true, any advice on solutions and methods to carry out same.

Thanks,

Eric

nip up 1/16th of turn. If that fails, replace copper seal.

When the injector's removed, the copper washer will often be found stuck to the nozzle.

Ensure that the mating surfaces are clean, and refit the injector.
You'll need a deep socket for the injector which is available from most factors etc.
Injector-to-head torque is quoted (by Vx) as 65Nm.

Leak-off pipes you mean?

Cheap as chips mate.
Pick up, say, a metre length from most factors for a few quid - simples!
