Hi Everyone Thanks for watching. Rather than going to the main dealers here is a list of the aftermarket part numbers that i used for this job. Rocker Cover Gasket Part No - 368 59 0701 Injector Oil Seal (4 Required) Part No - 368 59 0920 Copper Injector Seal (4 Required) Part No - 449770370 If you give these numbers to your parts supplier they can cross reference the numbers to get the same part.

I was a day away from fitting a second hand engine , approx £600 plus labour. We did this and it worked van drives like new, you are a genius mate thank you.

My citroen relay with this engine had so much crankcase pressure, it was forcing oil out through the turbo seals. was just going to try and keep it going for a couple of months and then scrap it. Twenty quid in parts and a couple of hours work, and it's good as new: no smoke from the oil filler cap, and no leaks from the turbo. Thank You soo much for sharing this.

I don't own a diesel but great to see knowledgeable lads like yourself passing on good information, well done.

YES!!! Was meaning to come back and thank you for this. Did this repair myself. Turns out when I got the seal changed by my brilliant mechanic, one of his guys put a clamp upside down and that led to a terrible knock after a while. When I took the injectors out, one of the tips was swollen. Changed all 4. How the mechanic and his "technicians" didn't see that is beyond me...

Had this issue with 2.4 Puma. Local garage had two goes at it, but not a long term fix - problem recurred. Sent to Transit specialist with same result. Decided to tackle it myself, and recut the cylinder head seats - gently by hand. Renewed the injectors with genuine seals and it has been a 100% success. Don’t use cheap copper washers, and ensure seats are clean to provide a seal.

Cheers for this. I thought my 2007 240k mile TDCI was scrap. Oil all over power steering pump, excess pressure from oil cap etc. Parts ordered abs the old wagon will live on a bit longer. Thankyou so so much.

I've just changed these injectors on a 2.2 transit. You could clearly see the injectors bubbling oil up through rocker cover injector seals , that engine also had a cracked pisyon

You are a breath of fresh air and a true mechanic my van is doing what you described and all I got was it needs new engine . I have been in the motor trade for many years on the body side but mixed with mechanical i did not feel i needed a new engine so thanks for confirming my suspicions……will let you know how I get on……. Cheers

Two of these were gone on the Transit I got last year. Made a massive difference. It looked like someone had re-used damaged seals.

I cannot believe that someone thought it was a good idea to run injectors through the rocker cover....madness! :)

Brilliant video. Thanks for the explanation of the issue and why you need regular oil changes.

Having just fitted a 2.4 Puma to my Defender, budget more like 6k for a Crated Short Engine? Mine was originally “just” an Injector fault! Great video on proper diagnostics!

Thank God for people like yourself

Thanks! As an engine builder I almost also mis diagnosed my friend's Defender Puma. 2 injectors came loose (same bracket). Just cranked the engine and it threw smoke from the oil cap.

Thanks for this video! I scrapped a transit because of this. With my "new" transit i noticed a leak and did some more research. I'm replacing the seals right now!

This is something I recommend replacing every 80,000 miles too all my customers prevention is king. I’ve got a 61 plate transit in currently over pressurising pushing the oil up out of the dip stick but only started too do so after bleeding the fuel system after replacing the fuel filter as the fuel filter was in a very bad state which is another major issue with diesels most people don’t change the fuel filters making components work harder it should be made a legal requirement if you own a vehicle mot regular services and more random vehicle checks for tyres as the state of tyres and people only come in when it’s wet and they notice that suddenly they ain’t able too stop due too the tyres being like a f1 cars slicks and also people an mot is not proof that your vehicle is road worthy for a year it’s only proof that at the time of test the vehicle was presented in a roadworthy manner and passed at that time you are solely responsible for the running and upkeep of your vehicle and you are responsible if your involved in a traffic collision

GOOD MAN,A GOOD TO THE POINT WAY OF SORTING IT

Nice video mate 👍 I have just fixed my (dead) engine. Was exactly what you mentioned. Smoking from the oil cap etc... Now is like a new again. 5£ seals Plus torque wrench £25. Torque wrench will stay in the garage waiting for another job 😜

Absolutely awesome advice as I think I’m having the same problem with my truck 👌👌 oil pissing down the back of the engine but my truck still runs great I’ll definitely be checking this 👌👌

Hi Tom, Another really good video.

Kudos to you for finding this....do you not think the engineering is very poor on these machines.

I had a similar issue on our 2.4 defender, there was a tapping sound above all the usual noises. On looking around the engine sitting on idle i saw the No.3 injector bouncing up and down like a mini pile driver. When i pulled the injector the bolts holding the clamp were loose, the copper washer was almost gone and the end of the injector was mushroomed. A new injector was needed and it wasn’t cheap.

Check the copper washers with a magnet, you’ll never get copper plated steel to seat.

Almost word for word what I got from a garage "your engine is shot mate, it's pressurising. You need a new engine mate" like your friend i had no loss of power no warning lights nothing...turns out it was something to do with the rocker rail so I had it replaced and guess what? No pressurising and no more smoke. Always get a second opinion if you can that's what I've learnt.

Same do it the 2.0 hdi on my Citroen C5.It was changed maybe 2× times.If this copper seal its gone probably smelling with fuel in the cab..if you turning on your cabin ventilation.At some engine can hear the little blow noisy..no good to keep at that way long time,cause after its a problem take off the injector...burned in.

With this sort of problem, it may also have damage to the injector seat for the copper washer. Worth doing a seat reface at the time you replace the washers. These tools are cheap to buy.

I have a mk7 transit engine seems to be locked solid i got the van like this so no idea how or what caused it what is the most common thing to go would it be a cam chain ?

Great video, thanks for sharing. Why does this not surprise me with a Ford engine.

Just got a van cheap as chips, same shitty injectors come out, hope this cures it.

My 2013 Boxer came up with lo oil pressure on friday, but before that it occasionally hesitated on acceleration and occasional puff white smoke or black not often

I have the same problem and I was thinking could it be leaking by the copper washer. I Been told by many friends who know a bit about cars saying the engine had it and don't waste your time taking it apart

Did the work you carried out, sort out the ruff idle on startup Tom, this sounds exactly like the problems I am having with my 2.4 defender. Great videos, Tom keep it up.

U could use the smoke machine show straight up must have with these engines cheap for what they are.

Shot in the dark. I’ve had this issue a couple of times, does anyone know of the newer transit rocker covers have their own air filter system in it to allow the presssure escape? If so mine doesn’t seem to work and I noticed they also sell the rocker cover online as well as gasket kits. Is there a common fault with the rocker cover, seems a strange item for loads of outlets to stock.

very honest guy.

Hi Tom. Where do you get injector seals for 20p??

Thanks for that sir!

Do you have to re cut the injector seats before replacing the copper washers. A mechanic told me I should re cut them. Cheers

Mines doing same leaking back pressure leaking (drip) from oil cap changed injectors aswell do you think could be rocker gasket making it back pressure smoking like he'll after injectors changed been told cracked piston thanks

Hello and thanks for this brilliant video, does such a problem cause the engine to rev to the highest possible rpm even without touching the pedal...?

Aluminium injector washers are better and use 620 loctite on both sides of the washer. Also recut the seats in the head and use Nulon Pro Strength engine flush 500km before an oil change.

My transit is a pain to start if it starts at all. And there's abit of smoke coming out the oil filler and when it runs white smoke comes out the exhaust. I'm not a machanic but do you think it cus of these injectioner seals or shit around it like in this vid . Thanks.

looks lik you know a fair it about 2.2 , what is the cause of tapping noise when cold? the engine runs great , just this noise , It can be one of the injectors , or tappet , to loud for the injector and to frquent in my oppinion, Reply

I have a lot of oul sitting on top of rocker cover and it sounds like a light chugging and minute missfire at idle seems to be number 1 and 2 injector could it be this mine is a 2015 Citroen relay 2.2 puma engine any advice appreciated

Would you recommend a sump clean after as my van had the same problem. Due to the last owner not doing the oil change because he couldn't get the filter housing off he sold a 2010 Transit to me for spares or repairs. Needed a new turbo .( So I thought) After a new turbo, glow plugs and a few other things I decided to remove the cam cover only to find the rocker bridge was fecked due to lack of oil . Didn't tell me he didn't add any more oil to the van until it had died .. sorry about my writing as I've just started to read and write again after a stroke.

Is it the same engine in a mondeo mk3 st ???

where is the speed sensor located on the 6sp RWD transmission on Ford Transit LWB 2012 T155 2.2L? Van goes into limp mode at 40mph with TCS dash light flashing. Diagnosed as wiring/faulty VSS, because (when goes into limp mode) all 4 wheel speed sensors report speed but VSS reports no data (0 mph).

I’m getting poor fuel economy with my mk8 2.2 van, was fine but all of a sudden, it’s poor, van seems to run ok, but I’m watching the fuel gauge go down, could never see it go down before, I no they don’t drop then all of a sudden they go, I’m getting around 15 mpg , any ideas please

Hi, would you be able to give me an idea of how much i would expect to pay to have fuel injector seal kit fitted by a mechanic...my van runs beautiful but some fuel is pooling on the rocker cover from two injectors. My van is a peugeot boxer 2.2 tdi year 2010.....Thank you very much....... great video by the way. David

Hi there thanks for that vid I think I have i similar problem as my land rover is leaking from the same place is there any way you could show the process you would do to resolve this cheers

2.2 transit custom 2016 - torque for the stretch bolts? Would this cause smoke on startup?

Hi I had the same problem got the injector seals done but six months later it happened again. Any ideas of what it could be. Garage seems to think it need new engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ( Ford transit 2.2 )

G'day from across the pond, mate. Bewt video. Thank you. Can you give us the rundown on you conducted the deep clean on the rocker cover? And if you used any cleaning agents, steam etc?

Great video and a lot of sense spoken! I've just got my transit mk7 back from garage, they said that it may need a new injector. But I think this could be the problem. When started, the engine was rocking all over the place and white smoke, I tightened the injector clamps and seem to run better now with no smoke, only trouble is that it starts up rough but then settles down after about 30secs. I don't want to spend a fortune on it so may give this a go myself, do you have any other advice going by what I've describe above? Thanks

I read that the Defender Pumas have a modified cylinder head compared to the Ford Transit. Is that true?

Hi I have a 2.2 euro5. I've recently changed injectors and its been running fine, over the last 2 days when I start from cold I get heavy blue smoke for 20 seconds and you can clearly hear the engine misfiring as it runs on the oil in the cylinders, after 20 seconds engine runs mint and will do so all day until the next morning where I will get the same blue smoke and misfire issue. I've pulled injectors and the seals don't look like they have been leaking, and I know I have only 1 working glow plug so I am in the process of replacing these aswell. The only issue I have found is I can see that piston 4 is wet but the others are dry. Could this be a cracked piston? Cheers

2.2 engine with 28ok miles still running well what's high mileage for one of these it's 2015 in a Peugeot boxer

Would glow plug not sealing properly cause same fault

Have an oil leak coming from the seals and injectors now there is a bit of light smoke coming out iswell what is this

Superb Video !

Hi mate brilliant video really helpful just a quick one I've noticed my transit is using oil lately and there's is no evidence of a leak anywhere when I first start It sometimes has a slight rough idle bearly noticeable I took the oil cap off while running and it has steam/smoke puffing out any ideas what it could be there's bearly any smoke from exhaust unless I floor it and sometimes on cold start up there's slight blue smoke but the oil is going somewhere cheers

Hi. I have a 2.2 transit mk7 2012 with a loud diesel knock. The mechanic tells me it’s a injector issue and there is oil chuffing out the oil cap filler. But how do you know which injector is bad?

Great vid, have similar issue

Hoping you see this question in time.. on the same engine as this I recently over tightened an injector bolt clamp as.didnt have a torque rench . Done all the work and got the broken bolt out . New rocker cover.gasket.. New injector seals etc.. now afraid of over tightening bolts . Should be 6 nm plus 180 . Currently got it 6nm not the 180 degrees.. but the van is running bad and smoking badly . Is that 180 degrees extra enough to make all that difference or likely to have a different problem . Many thanks

Just saw this and thanks for posting just a question if you have the blow by coming from the dipstick tube (bottom end) is this still an injector or more likely piston?

Would doing this help stop a white smoke cloud on startup in cold weather? Thanks!

Great video! I've got a troublesome 2.2 FWD Mk7 with similar issues. Just wondering, would a leak off test diagnose bad injector gasket seals? also if I have to go down this route how did you de-grease the rocker cover gasket? cheers.

Hi, could I have your opinion please? Had a smokey engine, 2.4 puma in a 2011 defender, for ages until my mechanic worked out it was the turbo putting oil into the engine. All good, new uprated turbo and engine ran great, for about three months. Now smoking again, down on power and a different sound to the engine, metalic is how I'd describe it, and smoke from the breather on the left of the head when unclipped. Two mechanics say I need an engine rebuild. Now I watched this video I wonder could it be an injector? Thanks!

Ive got a 2006 transit 2.4 duratorq rwd with quite a noticeable booming noise coming back out through the airbox. No loss of power and not smokey. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks

Nice one, done it, thanks

hi Tom I know this is a while ago just wondering if you have ever heard or diagnosed the noise I am currently having with my mk7 2.4 rwd t350 it's a tapping noise I qas going to send a video of it but not sure how to on here mate

Could this problem also cause the front crank seal to leak? I've just fitted a new front crank seal and its still pixxing oil out from the seal, Quite a lot of pressure from the filler cap. This problem could cause a fire quite easily if I can't fix It😂

Hi mate I have a 2.4L 2011 RWD transit she has 216k, I recently had a turbo & alternator fitted all good there. But then I started getting “water in fuel indicator” turn it off it goes away & doesn’t come on for a few hours/days, I’ve been losing slight power when I’m in 1st & 2nd gear but when get it to 3rd power it there I have some white smoke coming from my oil cap also any idea?

Would this also cause there to be too much pressure coming out of the dipstick?

Mine was a blowen engine hole in piston due to faulty glow plug

mine at 320k still going strong

When you take out the injectors, is there the possibility of the copper seals falling off the end, then into the engine or just into bottom of hole ? Thanks.

Thanks for the video . What's the correct Torque wrench setting for the bolt to hold the injector clamp ?

Brilliant

Anyone know if there’s a breather in the rocker cover Of the 2.2 (2014) that can get blocked up after one of these seals failing?

Mate I have the Citroen relay with the same engine, Euro 5 tho' different injectors. Do you know the torque settings for the clamp bolts?

Brilliant video thank u 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Tom .What is your experiance how easy to remove this injectors. My no3 aroung the simmering seal i can see some oil mist .I may thinking to pull it out to check the copper and rep[lace the o ring in the cover.

Where abouts in Yorkshire are you? I'm looking for a good independent garage that knows the 2.2 engine.

Would really like to see the air purging on a direct injection engine after you have had it all apart. Is it the same as the old style? Thanks for the video, my Defender 2013 2.2 is going fine at 200000km, always good to keep an eye out though!

Great video. I have an issue with my 2014 transit custom, intermittent white/blue smoke. Could this cause this problem? Cheers.

Hi mate i have Ford transit 2014 Broken turbo has been fixed but now Kip smooching and losing oil what can be ? Thanks

Hi Boss Do you know if after removing injectors you will have to reprgramm them to ecu ? Ford transit 2.0 tdci , fifa, 2004, 125 h Just wanna rmove injectors and have a look at them / clean them which i can manage but i wont manage configuring it all with scanner and laptop Cheers mate.

Great! I've also narrowed it down to the same issue on my Defender. Where's the video of you actually fixing it though (removing injectors, replacing seals, reinstalling)? Not seeing it in the video listing...

Nice one

Hi, is it possible this problem goes along with a lot of white smoke, oil loss (about 1liter/100km) and pressure on the oil cap? My mechanic told me to put a new engine in it as well. But it feels weird to throw away the engine because it rides and sounds smoothly.

Can you help whats torque strength bolts for injectors best regards.

Thank you 👍🏻

Hi, maybe you might be able to help with my mk7 2.4 transit, I have had vapour valve replaced, but still has a rattle, diesel knock when you accelerate from idle and some times on idle along with a throbbing noise like a chinook but then dissappears, as regards acceleration the knocking noise stays until you are above 1500 rpm, when the noise is present it has little power Any ideas would be great

great info Tom thank you, my 2010 2.4 transit has just started ticking , ten minutes later it turned into knocking sounds got louder then I shut it down. Tried restarting it and it ran very rough, any ideas where to look? Niko.

What flush do you recommend? Mines dropped an injector and it’s misfiring, but oils sludgy

my landrover 2.4 engine is presurising on coolent side aparrently need another engine, no water in oil

Any idea of the torque settings for the holding stretch bolts that go on the saddle type bits anyone? Cant find them anywhere and ford are 'shifty' about sharing info!

How does the copper washer seal go on? Mine look like they’ve got glue on them? I’m lost
