Bleedin' injectors!

[Aardvark]

I've just finished a 530 mile trip, pretty much all on motorway or dual carriageways at a steady 60mph. I get great mpg (36) pootling along at this speed. I had to stop and bleed the damned injector twice during the journey. It's now No.3 that is the culprit and its tricky to reach. What actually causes it to get air at that point? I can't do the leak off mod because I can't get to the connections at the back injector, etc.

Air getting in thro leak off pipes and if no all ready done do the leek off mod at the same time if the return pipe to filler pipe work is on number 4 injector it needs moving to number 1 injector

After the problems you've had and overcome Aardvark.

I wouldn't have thought "can't" was still in your vocabulary

Yes. I understand what you are getting at mate, but I've got so many priorities and jobs that I am physically struggling with at the moment that I'd just like the damned Transit to "do what it says on the tin" for a while. I suspect I could get at the back connection if I take the banana manifold off but I did that a while back to degunge it and it was no fun at all.

When I did mine 10 years ago did not remove manifold 30 minutes job max but if you are going to do it get a new rubber blanking cap mine split removing it off injector had to make a temp job till I got a new one
