Hi all
New caddy owner so please bear with me here, just brought a 14-plate caddy maxi 1.6, the previous owner mentioned he recently had the injector pipe fuel hose replaced.
He said when they pulled the pipe out some fuel seeped onto the area around the injectors cleaned it up twice and keeps coming back. any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Fuel Leak around injectors
I had this problem with mine when I replaced an injector a few months back - clean the area thoroughly with brake cleaner and kitchen roll to get it bone dry, then take the van on a quick spin to pinpoint the leak. I had a slight seep at one of the injector high pressure lines where it attached to the injector, and a leak off pipe seal leak too!
Make sure you replace the o-ring on the leak off pipe connector, and ensure it "snaps" when you push it into the injector. If it doesn't make a satisfying snap sound, it may not seal properly. Don't forget to put the split pin back in too...
