My 2007 W639 Vito 111 CDI has begun experiencing fuel-related troubles. Exiting the conversation.
The background is as follows: after performing repairs on an injector blow-by and the hold-down bolt threads, the car began to leak gasoline from its leak-off system. I suspected that I had been excessively forceful with the press-down clips on the plastic pipe fittings attached to the spigot pipes emerging from the side of the injector.I conducted a leak-off test and discovered that three of the injectors were defective, exhibiting excessive fuel leakage. Consequently, I acquired a whole set of replacement injectors, Honda copper washers, and new stretch hold-down bolts, and replaced them together with a brand new leak-off pipe system.
after a run test drive i noticed it was leaking yet again but this time knowing full well the leak off was just a dribble and the leaking wouldnt start until at lease five mins of running ,i then purchased another pipe set believing it must of been a dud set i had previously got and fitted another new set ,another test run and another leak ensued so this time i thought it must be having trouble to leak back into the in-tank pumped supply line where it is plumbed into via an alloy y adapter ,having looked at it i considered it could either be a clogged filter (where the in tank pump brings the low pressure supply into) or maybe a locked up non return check valve which is in the new replaced leak off pipe so i checked the valve using air line and a peice of stiff wire all good replaced filter and test drive ,still leaking fuel out of the weakest point of the rubber leak off sections between the injectors , this tells me the pressure of the system where it is supposed to bleed into is far too high ?
I assume that the return line to the tank may be obstructed. Could it be a defective pressure regulator valve in the common rail? Are there any technicians available to assist me in resolving this issue? I am perplexed; the vehicle starts and operates flawlessly. Could it be experiencing excessive pressure owing to a malfunctioning pressure control system? How does it control the pressure returning to the tank following its effective transit through the common rail?
I am unable to locate anybody with the requisite experience and traditional diagnostic skills to identify this type of defect from the past.
