My 4th injector is leaking from behind the black plastic housing on the top. I have replaced all the leak off pipes as number 1 and 6 were leaking too
I have just spoken to a bosch specialist who tells me the 4th injector is not a serviceable part so will have to be replaced but have just read this on a omega forum
Hi john. I repaired mine, and here's what i did:- (The injector needs to come out of the engine). There are two retaining pins that will need to be removed, (they are a push fit into the injector body) Using a small cutting disc (eg a dremel) carefully cut a small notch into the upper part of both pins, then you can use a small chisel/screwdriver to tap the pins out of thebody. Very carefully prise the black plastic part away from the body (mine practically fell off), be very careful as the wires for the snesor are very fine and delicate. Next, clean the diesel from the injector and the plastic part finally using an evaporating solvent so the surfaces are completely free of any diesel or solvent residue. Next, glue the two parts together using an epoxy adhesive (araldite), replace the pins to hold the parts together while the glue sets. Mine has stayed leak free since I did this over a year ago. Finally, a good idea would be to check the resistance before strip down and after repair to ensure the sensor wires are ok after the repair. Hope this helps.
Any advice about what to do would be appreciated especially about how to avoid spending over £200 on a new one!!
