Author Topic: Injector Lines Leaking.... (Ground ? as well) (Read 2392 times)

I have a 1.6l N/A. Here is the issue:

My hard Injector lines are leaking. I had originally thought it was the rubber ones but that is not the case. So my question is, how much am I gonna pya for them, and where can I get them at a decent price?

I also want to know if there is a ground wire upgrade kit for these cars.

sometimes you can get away with just tightening them a bit... don't go nuts on them... happened to me in the summer time. the injector lines were a bit 'moist' and hot starting was a pain...

They aren't leaking at the fasteners. They are leaking on the main part of the line so I just wanna get em all replaced and get this thing on the road safely.

So a rough estimate of what they cost is appreciated.

Get used injection lines, someone here will sell you a set. New ones are insane.

As for the ground wire, there is only one from battery to block, replace it with 1 awg welding cable. There are no "grounding kits" for old diesels because there aren't any electronics on the engine, so no improvements to be had.
