, am i missing something???
Have you looked up the part number and found new ones to compare?Hi all. The injectors were removed from the same engine... how comes that the first one has a kind of gap around the nozzle where the washer fits and the other has like a seal??? the other 3 are all like the first one with the gap
)
Bizarre indeed... the pics came from a friend of mine, the pics are after he removed the old washers, i dont know much about these things cos when it comes to such jobs i pay my mechanic... i searched a lot by p/n and didnt find a pic from that positionHave you looked up the part number and found new ones to compare?
Have you looked down the holes they came out of and found 4 seals there but not one in the one that came out with one?
Very bizarre!!
I had a quick search, not by part number, just a generic search for "injectors for TD5 engine", and like you didn't find a good pic of the bit we both want to see.
... that black "seal-shape" thing was petrified carbon deposit, the one with the gap is normal ... it was injector nr.5 so the missing glow plug might have some effect too.
Was going to say, there's normally just a load of crap around there!Mystery solved after a divine intervention
The oddity was that looked like factory fitted and was rock solid while on the other 4 was completely different and softer like this
I dont know such mechanical stuff but isn't the numbering through the spyhole about the firing order? i said injector 5 meaning the last from front to rear where there is no glow plug... it's good to know though how carbon can behave in such cases
