1.9 Sportline Injector Loom Leak

Post by billionairebum »

Hello

I think I have a leak by the injector loom and apparently this is a common leak on the PD motors. Would it be best to replace the loom or use some type of silicone to seal it again?

Regards

If it leaks around the loom plug tthen sure silicone. If throught the plug then replace.

You have to open the tappet cover, unplug the loom, and replace the loom o ring

I contacted VW and they only supply the full Loom with the gasket and plastic bit not the o ring separately that is why I asked if I could use something to seal it. Will try find the size of the o ring.

You can get o-rings at places like bearing man etc that supplies bearings and seals.
