Diesel Leak

Post by Jimb0_Ala »

Hi All,

Sorry but I am not a techy guy so bare with me. I have a Diesel 1.6 turbo and there is a leak coming from what looks like a black rubber end to the engine bit (sorry i did warn you!). Not sure if I have to call the garage for them to have a look at or I can simply replace the rubber end myself? If so, what do I order from Brickwerks?

I've submitted a photo (not my engine btw)of whereabouts the rubber end thingy is, so hopefully the picture will tell you a thousand tecnical words to help you solve my leak.

Thanks, Jim

like this?

worth checking the black hose between the injectors as well, see if they are cracking.

Thanks Lloydy.

I thought it was that but wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for the piece of mind. They look relatively cheap so will replace that first and then call in the pros if it still persists.

Yeah sorry about the pic! Trying to upload it at work and it's the best I could do!
