Leaking injectors p38

Janaa · Feb 14, 2022

Hi!
I have struggeled a lot with leaking injectors. I change the Seal ring with no luck. Some her point at the pipes can leak, but they are verry dry and it is only diesel wet at the bottom, well, bottom of what you can see og the injector when installed. Any suggestion anyone?
With regards Jan

Usually it's the leak off pipes not the injectors.
Welcome to the mad house.

This is the one thing that really gets to me with the p38. I partially blame the quality of the pipes and partly the concoction they call diesel these days

It's not the diesel, the leak off pipes on my Kubota tractor are about 50 years old and are still fine, on the Transit they 19 years old and just fine, it's crap cheap and nasty German BMW engineering that's at fault.

I'm saying nothing, don't want to tempt fate but I fitted Gates 3.2 iD pipe, fingers still crossed.
