Evening guys so i discovered i have an injector leak
Reading all the horror stories of how it can go bad very quick i decided to just let a local garage sort it!
I've had a call today saying the injector bolt has snapped in the head and there going to try drill it out but be prepared that I might need a new head!
Is this my problem? I gave them the job because this is exactly what I didn't want to happen to me on the drive!
If i do need a new head who pays?
 
Did they snap it when trying to remove it ? Or did they snap the new one when refitting it ? Either way drilling it out will require some care as things could get worse. Best left to a specialist to extract the broken bolt and then fit a helicoil or such like. Drilling and tapping to take an oversize bolt is not a good idea.
 
Sounds like they are not very good, they snapped it, it’s their responsibility to get it resolved, even if they need to call in a specialist.
