Problem with Citroen Dispatch 2.0 HDI

Unread post by rafski85 »

Hi guys,

I would like to get some opinions about what i am dealing with at the moment before I take my van to the garage.

For a while I could smell burning oil now and then but ai couldn't find a source.

Today I open a bonnet and noticed that rubber cover on the top back end of the engine is in pieces, it does look like its melted.

Sny idea what could cause that ?


Thanks in advance

Can you post the picture straight into your post rather than use third party hosts as they can remove them and leave your post bare. Here is the method: :)

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

The engine looks quite oily. Perhaps some oil reaches the exhaust manifold occasionally and burns off? A risky situation.

Possibly an injector seal is leaking where it goes into the cylinder head. Are there any unusual noises ?

Yeah, especially on idle.
I dunno if I can attach videos here, so I upload it to you tube.
