Focus out of action for a while

[Franco Cozzo]

Hey guys, had a diesel smell coming through the car, so I decided to pop the bonnet and take the plastic cover off for a quick snoop around this morning:



Doesn't look bad in that photo, dodgy camera shot but it looks like all 4 of my injectors are ****ing out fuel and its filling the top of the injectors and leaking down the side of the engine.

I picked up a mate at Ford today and he got his forewoman to come out and check it out for me, I'd driven it about 20km from work to pick him up and it started smoking under the bonnet by the time I got there, popped the hood and she said not to drive it as its a fire risk and that eventually I'm going to get an air lock in the system and its going to bring me to a halt on the side of the road.

If you start getting a strong diesel smell through the car, rip off the cover and check the injectors.

At $920 an injector they better be covered under warranty, I hope Ford doesn't try squeeze their way out of this one by blaming my CAI or my lowered springs.
