1987 W124 300D Turbo w/ leaky fountain of an injector

[bob_98sr5]

I've decided to start a new thread since my my first 'project" thread has been hijacked :roll:

Anyways, i had a slightly leaky injector (the one near the firewall w/ the braided, plugged end), but after a diesel purge, it is spewing a small fountain against the firewall:



i read a few threads here and there and most people say to get new braided lines. but everyone else's symptoms seemed to be wet braided lines. could the internals (seals/rings) inside that injector be damaged or worn? and what effect, if any, did the diesel purge have on this?

once this is fixed, I'll have a better idea of what kind of vehicle i truly own. right now, i think its the biggest dog of a car that has a turbo on it!

Thanks,
Bob
