have cleaned it off but still cant see anything just desiel running down side of gearbox and onto crossmember even took cover off top of engine but still cant see any leak

not sure then, i would just suggest following the leak up, but thats common sense.

thanks any way maybe someone else has had same problem with there td5 looks like a garage job

looks like its yer fuel pressure regulator kev. the regulator has an o'ring that perishes.

kevin19 · Nov 25, 2007

ok thanks is that a hard job to fix or is it a main dealer

Bushtoy · Nov 25, 2007

not hard at all....take off top and back cover and u will see it at the back of the motor on the drivers side .....u will see the fuel pipes going to and from the regulator and a plug with 2 wires

kevin19 · Nov 25, 2007

ok i see the o ring is sealing the pipe into regulator is it best to do both then try that tomorrow thanks

yeah, replace the lot...also a good idea while yer there ta take the whole unit off and replace the metal gasket as well....sometimes leaks there too

kevin19 · Nov 25, 2007

thanks for that i will get the parts and have a go
