Leaking diesel

Anyone else have a problem with leaking diesel in the engine compartment. Took the car in for a check and was told it looks like a leak around the valves. Is this going to be an expensive job? Starting to think about a change again! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

That sounds nasty VA. Sad

I take it they have done the obvious, like trying to tighten the fuel lines? Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost

The chances of a slight deisel leak catching fire are pretty slim unfortunately.

I once had a split deisel fuel hose that was spraying a fine jet of fuel straight onto the hot exhaust manifold. All I got was lots of smelly white smoke.

And brown underwear once I stopped to think about what could have happened. Embarassed Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.
