2.4 tddi mk6 injector torque settings

[Jollywoz]

Hello all.

I need the torque settings for the internal injector body assembly, the top and bottom sections that screw together before the outer sleeve is slid back on. I seem to be getting fuel leakage from all 4 injectors. They were recently taken apart and ultrasonic cleaned. I have replaced the fuel return pipe twice and re seated the fuel lines a few times with no effect.

Thanks in advance

wrong answer

Ok, so what is the right answer or even the right question? I have a fuel leak around that pools into the cam cover seals. The injectors have been apart which adds to the equation.

I originally did not read your question right.

and gave torque settings for injector bolts ...so deleted post and wrote "wrong answer" just case you had seen the first answer

The manual does not state what torques, the injector component parts, should be . and gives pictures , cross sections ..but no actual strip down or rebuild information

TDDI - what it often says

Have the fuel injectors checked by an
appropriate fuel injection specialist agent.
CLEAN the fuel injectors or INSTALL a new set
of injectors as required only after the specialist
agent checks have been carried out.

So my advice if you want more detailed info

Research: make and model of injector on google ..with the word overhaul or rebuild etc

There is a chance that i missed it or missed the rebuild section ..manuals of late ..are 3 - 4 thousand page PDF files and very difficult to search through or find the right info example "injector ..finds 100's of results in manual "injector torque" --- finds nothing

Will have a good look through the land drover defender 2.4 manual tonight to see if its any different..

BTW there is a whole series of Haynes manuals ..hardback paper books on diesel engines . they may give more detailed info, than the very poor vehicle specific ones .

Note; it's important to read post answers within hours of posting of an answer and pursue it ..as people loose interest ..or forget what its about, or get confused, .continuity stops. or worse your post disappears off the first page and you cant find it.
