I'll try to explain as clearly as I can.....I noticed a diesel smell recently at the end of each journey. On running the engine and shining a torch in under the inlet manifold I noticed a drip every 3/4 seconds coming from the pump block. The six steel injector pipes coming out of the block are in a line and grouped as three pairs in terms of securing to the block. There are no leaks from the pipes themselves. I dried everything as best I could and then started the engine to see where the leaks (plural) are starting from and agreed, with my pal from the local garage, that it's from underneath where two of the pairs are secured to the block by single T30 star screws. These
T30 screws hold down what can only be described as heart shaped plates and the diesel appears to be oosing from underneath them.
Where I could do with some help is:
Are there sealing 'O' rings (or some other means of creating a seal) which are now clearly leaking?
Are they available from MB? The guy I spoke to at MB Southampton said the diagram on the microfiche was very poor quality and he couldn't tell whether there were any or not!
After removing the inlet manifold do I have to completely remove the injector pipes or can they be simply 'persuaded' to move to one side so I can get to the heart shape plate then remove the seals underneath?
For those who can't be bothered with New Year's Eve celebrations, I would be very grateful for your comments! Oh, and Happy New Year to all my readers!
