Injection Nozzle Leakage
Posted: 07 May 2025, 03:37
I need help figuring out why the Injection Nozzle from my 1.7D KY is leaking towards the outside of the engine… no missfire or troubles running.
From my understanding it‘s just the Injection Needle within it‘s Block, some kind of ring/plate, the spring and distance plates for pressure adjustment. And all of that is torqued together with the upper and lower part of the injectionnozzle housing… which of those parts might cause the leakage or what can i do to stop the leakage? since there are no sealing rings or anything that might be faulty… or are there??!?
I tought about teflon tape (idk how it‘s called in english: like the kind of tape used for heating elements in your living room) on the housings’ threads but i‘m not sure if it can withstand the heat.
