Hi everyone.

Got a prob. Car is leaking fuel from somewhere under the bonnet. It is most noticable after full throttle. The smell seems to be strongest at the rear drivers side of the engine bay (exhaust area). Any clues?

A mate had a similar problem found out that it was the injector seals were slightly leaking.

Mmm. Thats confirmed what i was thinking. Are they easy to change and how much are the seals likely to be?

After having a quick look seems you can buy them from Subaru dealers, someone mentioned Roger Clark motosport (although it seems to take them a few days).
Have no idea on how easy they are to change though sorry.

Cheers MBW.

Thats what i'll try first. So how are the injector seals changed guys?

Just had a quick look on here and by the looks of it it's just a matter of removing the injectors,replacing the o-rings (carefully) then refitting the injectors.

Do the jectors lift out or does the rail need to come away too?

dan83590

Come on chaps. i know some people can answer this..

Since everybody has answered you perhaps you should ask one of the many scooby specialists

u can do it either way, but its alot easier to unbolt the fuel rails as if u try pulling them out whilst the rail is in they break easily, with the rail out u can just push them out with no hassle, if i was u id also check the rubber seal that goes around the fuel pump cover, as mine was leaking and was letting fumes in to the car cost about £12 from subaru dealer.....

At last. Cheers.

Am I gonna get fuel spraying everywhere?

yeh u will, with loads of pressure too, just watch ur face lol, there might be a way of releasing all the pressure but i dont know of it, ask one of the professionals on here as i did it the hard messy way on my car when i replaced the injectors

dan83590
