| Disco 3 leaking injector diesel. |
|
Disco 3 TDV6 auto year 2006
Hi all
My disco has a strong smell of diesel when driving and it looks like one of the Injectors is leaking. Is this an easy fix and is it and expensive job?
Any advice would be helpful
Regards
A

Mine needed a new injector when that happened. Wouldn’t drive it any more than to the garage like that, or not at all if the diesel is spraying at any of the hot bits under the bonnet.

Hi, it's parked up until I can get it booked in. Do you remember how much yours cost roughly?
Thank you for the prompt response.

Hi Pete,
Yes I can see diesel ozzing out the engine ticking over.

If you can see diesel under the bonnet, see where its coming from? If its one of the flexible 'leak off' braided pipes that shouldn't cost too much, and maybe you can sort yourself.
If the fuel is coming out the exhaust, that probably an injector, and they are expensive.
