bombx3 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 what you are saying makes a lot of sense ,but how can you stop a injector driping over night and what would cause this Regards Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wailofthesnail Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 nope they are tight and i have no leaks i can see Is the oil level ok? as this is common rail if the seals leak it can end up in the sump. How did you check they are tight and not leaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiall Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 what you are saying makes a lot of sense ,but how can you stop a injector driping over night and what would cause this Regards Ray it has a pressurized fuel rail so any leakage on a injector it would/possibly seep through , i dont know much about the td5 system but if other possibility's have been checked and ok then i would get them out and clean/checked but id check the glow plug as jim said before and any other bits and boobs like fuel filters are clean , their is no obvious fuel leaks , that the fuel isnt contaminated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small hole in an external fuel pipe could suck air in whilst it cools down? HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
