Hi all,
Spent today attempting to replace a injector seal on my 2002 C270. Ordered a new copper washer and stretch bolt, and began the task needing to be done. Injector 2 was ‘chuffing’ sounded like a steam engine!!
Removed the old injector quite easily, cleaned up, and fitted the new one. Problem now is that I’ve got diesel bubbling from injector 2, no chuffing noise though) Now I’m not sure if this is me being over cautious, and not tightening the stretch bolt enough (I tightened it to 8Nm and a bit more), or if the new washer didn’t seat properly, or a combination of both.
Has anyone every had the same issue? I removed the injector to check for issues (and dropped the copper washer in the process ) so I’ve got to order another kit anyway.
Any advice please
