220 CDI injector seals
220 CDI injector seals
I replaced the seals about two years ago there was so much sticky Cr*p between the injectors and the head it took half a day just to clean that all of it was like tar!
Got back from a medium journey where I was pushing on quite a bit and noticed that I have a bad case of lost compression on Cylinder three cause the seal has gone again. Maybe I did'nt do somethiong right the first time round all torque setting etc were applied anyone got a better suggestion?

I am sure this has already bween discussed but has anyone got a suggested method for fixing the common problem of injector seals (Copper rings) leaking?

Hi Chaps hope someone can help here I started the job Saturday morning only to snap the bolt that hold the injector bracket in place does anyone have any tips on how to get around this I was planning to slot a threaded collar in to the hole and use a shorter bolt to hold the injector down?

Use a bit of blue loctite on the bolts to prevent them from backing off.

Sorry, not many CDI owners in the USA.

What sort of stuff do you guys run over there??
This is a common problem with the CDI's You need to change the stretch bolts when you remove them as otherwise they have a tendancy to shear when they are tightened/loosened in the future. Be very carefyl drilling them out as well as the water galleries are close to the thread hole......not much room for margin of error
