Petestdi Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hi, my first post. For about a week there has been a very bad smell (like exhaust fumes) in the cabin of my 1.6 TDi. Today I did a check & found that around #1 injector was a pool of oil which seems to be the cause of the smell. Any ideas as to what's caused the leak & easy fix or garage job. Thank in advance.

Steve Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Sounds like the seal has gone around the injector. Are you sure its oil? and not fuel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve, it is oil - no drop off in performance & mpg still pretty good. Fumes getting into the cabin is like exhaust fumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petestdi Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 You were spot on Steve, #1 Injector seal had blown - cost me £108 for new seal & fitting, mechanic said carbon build up was terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
