Title: Whirring from front of block!
Post by: Big Tone on 12 October 2011, 07:07
Just driven to work and now notice a "whirring" from what seems to be the injectors.

I have not had a proper look yet as its still dark.

Any ideas?

Aux belt?

Nope 10 minutes, whip the injectors out and there is a lower and higher seal, think they were £4 EACH (you could just find which ones and just replace those, but i'd do them all)
and to be clear you need 2 for each injector

Yeah they are a dealer part, not sure if GSF or someone sell them, for £4 each when the guy passed me the bag I felt like I had been penetrated  :laugh:

Make sure you double check with them though, injector o ring seals they are called
