Citroen xsara picasso with leaking injector

Worn injector sealing rings
Worn injector sealing rings

This 2004 Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0 Diesel came into the workshop with the smell of toxic fumes coming into the cabin through the heater vents.

We investigated and could see straight away that the fuel injector copper sealing 'o' rings had failed causing engine gases to leak into the engine bay.

The engine gases escaping caused the injectors to have a build up of black tar at the seats of the injectors. This tar had to be cleaned off by hand prior to fitting the new copper sealing rings.

We then re-cut the injector seats and fitted new copper sealing rings.
