Smell of fuel!
Hi to you all again....after stopping the car from a journey i can smell fuel. I removed the air cleaner unit and can see a small amout of fuel seeping out from the black coloured electro hydraulic pressure actuator that is bolted to one side of the fuel distributor. I replaced the O rings and there is still fuel seeping out from somewhere....Does anyone have any info on this part and or experienced similar problems. Can this part be repaired and any idea of the price of a new one!....
Well i decided it was best to go to the dealer again on this one!...they took a look and confirmed the pressure actuator casing has become porus due to age and fuel is seeping out of the casing...I have ordered a new unit...£202 +VAT...It's easy to fit so i will do that bit myself.....
