Hi all,
I hope someone can help with this, problem is the other day I decided to investigate fume type smell I have recently noticed within the car, (not always) after a look on here I decided to check for leaks/blowback on the injectors; and yup looks like I've got a MINUTE leak on no.4; no carbon build up or goo of any description just what looked like a very small damp patch of diesel and a TINY bubbling in this area which suggests a seating problem, thing is its so small a leak I am not sure it is the fume in the cab problem no chuffing noise either, anyway I loosened off the hold down bolt on the offending injector and in my opinion this bolt seems to be a little 'sloppy' and not the snug fit I would expect so didn't go any further at this stage just cleaned and replaced the bolt.Had a w202 with a similar leak and done well over 5k miles with no probs (or carbon build up) so I would normally simply leave this and keep an eye on it, but for the fume smell. any Ideas anyone?
