Weeping injector....

[transitdude]

Hi all,

Just been inspecting the top of the engine and have noticed this on the nearside injector :



I cleaned it off went for a drive, checked again and it's wet with diesel again. Bummer!

On the previous day I was cracking the injectors in order to bleed the system after a fuel filter change and it has obviously been caused by doing this

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be done to rectify this situation as I'm guessing it's not a health sign.... the nut is quite tight.

FMC state that the injector pipes should not be undone and re-used, the ends of the new pipe form against the injector when tightened.

you could try undoing the pipe union completely and moving the pipe away from the injector seat and then pressing the pipe back against the injector and then tightening the nut up again.

Failing that, it's a set of injector pipes.

Cheers fella, will give it a try.

I'm hoping that might explain the slight lack of oomph on t'motorway since I've been tinkering.
