Title: Fuel Leak
Post by: micfis on 02 October 2009, 19:00

Mk3 Gti 2.0L
I have a fuel leak under the throttle body, I can see fuel in top of the mainfold. Does anyone know where it is coming from?

Not sure but whatever happens get it fixed asap as petrol leaking near a hot exhaust is not good.

Probably the injectors.

Thanks for your replys, if it is the injectors, is it a pricy job to get repaired?

Did it myself, one of the brown o rings on the one injector was damaged. Replaced it and no more fuel leak. Thanks

Not a hard job, involves removing a few bits to get to them.

But as wayne said fix it ASAP. As it could cause well...... a fire!
