Greetings from Norway. I will try to explain in english.....
I have a 1989 VW T3. It’s supposed to have a 1.9 turbo diesel engine from a Golf (but I’ve never managed to find the engine code). When I bought the car, I had no idea about cars. But I’ve managed quite well with help from YouTube and similar sources.
This time, however, things went really bad. I haven’t been able to get help through Norwegian forums and groups. I’ve been turned down everywhere by companies I’ve contacted here in Norway.
The problem:
Diesel started seeping up from underneath one of the injectors. I bought a new injector, removed the old one, and tried to screw in the new one — but two parts from the engine itself broke off, . Possibly because I used too much force.
The threaded mount for the injector in the cylinder head is therefore partly gone—enough that I can’t attach it properly at all. Some people mention a Time-Sert thread insert as a possible fix, but I can’t find anything that seems to fit.
This is far beyond my modest skill level. I honestly have no idea what to do. :/
Any suggestions? Even a temporary fix would be fine, just so I can drive the car somewhere. If a more complex operation is needed later for a permanent solution, that’s okay too.
Thanks a lot for the help !!!
