Title: Leaking injector (TDI 2.5 Diesel)
Post by pustagris on Dec 15^th, 2004, 9:02am

There is a leak at one of the injectors. It is not at the rubber hose which transports overdue fuel back.Its at the injektor itself.
What to do and first of all : HOW?

Thanks for any response.

No very good at desiels......

I was talking to one of are fitters here at the hospital, and he said that there is fuel run off pipes go between all injectors, and that sometimes these crack and the fuel runs back to the injector making it look like its leaking, the injector very rarely leak becuse of the massive pressure involved and they are metal agaist metal, if they did leak the car would run badly nad smoke.

On the first or last injector there is a rubber cap and this is common to crack and leak.
