Hi,

I have a 99 Vito 110cdi which started to run lumpy, smell of diesel and smoke form the engine bay. I investigated and found what can only be decribed as 'coal' all over the rocker cover, completely covering the injectors and wiring when I removed the cover between the engine and the airbox.

I have removed most of the stuff with a soft hammer and screw driver and jet wash and I think I will replace the injectors but don't want to do loads of work if I have another problem. The only other strange thing is that the airways from the airbox over the top of the engine down to the head are smeared with old oil.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Thanks Graham

thanks all, thought that would be it. Have sourced 4 injectors and after cleaning the area of 99% of the residue injectors 2 and 4 were found to be blowing like mad!

Thanks!! Graham

Hi.

I cant help unfortunately but I have got the same. I think the injectors are leaking as I run the engine and squirted washing up liquid water over the injectors and it blew it away showing a leak. First job, change the leaking injector I reckon.
