So my old man has a W210 E220CDI as a runabout, I noticed an injector seal was leaking at the weekend.
Took the covers off and it wasn't too bad, anyway thought I'd change all 4 of them for him as we're quiet at the min so instead of asking my mechanic to do it I thought I'd do it myself.
Injectors came out easy, bolts come out easy, washers came out easy.
One of the bolts was very gunked up etc
But I ordered new bolts with washers so it wasn't a huge problem.
There is a reciept in the handbook pack for injector replacement 4 years ago, during which it looks like they have managed to puncture the head into the water jacket and bodged with sealer.
I found sealer surrounding the bolt and obviously now the bolt has been removed there is water coming through.
Looking at Autodata it looks like a 10 hour job to remove and refit cylinder head, for what the car is worth this job is out of the equation!
Are there any other ways to repair this?
I have just ordered some M6 Grub Screws which I aim to fit coated in plenty of sealant.
Is this the right way or do you guys have a better suggestion?
Thanks
