Hi everyone, So I have found some coolent in a small dent on the top of the engine. It is beneath where the pipes where the coolent is connected to the cylinder head.

So I went to a diesel specialist for the fule leak, and it leaked from somewhere the mechanic never seent it leak befor, it was from the small round seal around the shaft ( between the fore pipse to the injectors). But the metallic noise is still there. How do I blead the injectors? Do I just loosen...

It's working again, replaced the slave and the pipe, as it broke trying to unscrew the rusty thing. But it's fine now. Just have to take a look after driving a bit to see if it's leaking, and fasten the scrues again. Thanks everyone for your help

Hi everyone, So I have just picked up my 1989 German imported westfalia 1.6 TD, and after a nice 300 mile drive it developed a 'small' problem. The slave cylinder is leaking, and i can't change gear when the engine is running. so i had to get a piggy bag from the recovery guys. I know there are some...
