Thread: Leaky injectors...

They have copper washers under them down the hole.
By the look of the 4th photo it could be loosing compression
past the injector.

re torque the nuts holding them down.... use some small cable ties on the return lines. That should keep things in order. ( New return line is usually found at a Mercedes diesel mechanic). Besides the copper washers, there are no 'seals' as such.

Cheer mate. I knew about the copper washers. These seal the injector in. All of the nuts are up tight. I think the problems stem from the pump problems that I was having with the shut off solenoid. I think that pump was cavitating when it was shutting off and on because the solenoid would switch off and on. Which would cause the seals to take 0 bar to 200bar instant... Which is never good. Cheer for the help people

And if you need injectors (is yours a v8 or 300?) send me a PM and I will point you in the direction of a guy that I bought my 300tdi injectors from genuine for 360 bux delivered.

umm 300tdi...

I was travelling down the highway when I noticed a cloud fogging up my rear window, I stopped and discovered desiel all over the motor and deseil pooring out of a cracked injector return line. I found it an issue finding the right internal dia. The feed is low pressure but you need a hose that can take some heat. I used a thicker line with the right ID and used hose clamps as adouble measure.

I hope this helps

Well I went to Rovacraft and got the new seals for the injectors (at a whopping $1 each) and after getting home I started. Well that is as far as I got... It would appear because the head etc is still warm from the run that the injector wont come out... Just have to be patient and wait till it cools down so I can pull them out.

Ummm still not coming out...
