Rob89 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Good morning, looking for some help regarding a diesel leak inside my engine, that only occurs when the car is turned on. This happened 2 days ago, and my diesel level has not changed since (so no fuel tank problem) I will attach a video, any advice anyone can give me would be a massive help. 20240713_194926.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Rob. Evidently the diesel is spraying out under pressure to reach so many parts of the engine, so probably the high pressure fuel line or injector has a leak. To trace the exacr source of the leak dry every part of the engine so that no wetness is visible, then start the engine and watch for where the diesel first emerges.

Solution Rob89 Posted July 14 Author Solution Share Posted July 14 Found the culprit. The tiniest split in this pipe causing a decent amount of diesel spray. So hopefully it'll be job done once I've sourced a new pipe. Thank you again for your help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob89 Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Thank you again, I don't suppose you have a possible part number for what I need? Or a link to a website to buy it? It's 17mm in outside diameter. Euro car parts don't seem to stock it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob89 Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 I have seen this below. Would need cutting to size, but seems the correct thing to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
