C5 Fumes

Post by wigelywoo »

Started getting fumes in car, unless I put air on re-circulate.
Tonight I took engine top covers off to discover what looks like, blowing from around injector, opposite end to gearbox.
How bad is this.
Sorry, engine is 2.2 hdi

You will need to remove the injector, clean all the crap out, recut the seat with a reamer, and rebuild wit new seals. Not too serious, but not a DIY job if you haven't got the tools in my opinion.
