fire seals ! - jonnynitro - 04-07-2014
how important are they ?
the pug has developed sticking injector syndrome or so i tought
after paying 30 euro to get them checked it seams there "grand"
any way im popping them back in tomorrow but i noticed when i removed
them the fire seals where missing so how important are they
also why is my pug missing and down on power and also showing some white smoke on start up ?!?!?

Best put them in to be fair. Couple of quid. Could just be unburnt fuel on startup. You had new glow plugs recently? If not it could be pump needs advncing. Is it using water? Running on three all the time or just on start up?
Help us to help you more specific details.

the problems started after i filled 20 euro of fuel into her to get me through till payday last week the next morning on the way to work
the car felt off it was running rough slower than normal through the gears and at hills it died a death near had to push it up a few.
so my first toughts was washed or dirty fuel . i popped a bottle of injector cleaner and 50 euros worth of fresh fuel into it but so far
no improvment. it feel very like a petrol car with a bad plug lead ie stuttering and juckking
mabey the pump jumped a tooth im at a loss to know whats happening
@bash no new glowers and shes not useing water

Chuck a fuel filter on first. Could just be fuel starvation
RE: fire seals ! - toseland - 05-07-2014
aye.. filter, and then the advance plug on the pump...
fire seals are abotu 25-50p each over here.. i have an invoice for the copper rings and fire seals somewhere..
worth doing as it stops the full weight of the blast reaching the injector seat..

totally f*cked now it wont start will turn over but thats it and there is fuel getting to the injectors
im sick of the pile of shite
RE: fire seals ! - sweeney1987 - 06-07-2014
straight or turbo diesel?
most likely air ingress on fuel system, happened mine, is grenade hard all the time?
RE: fire seals ! - jonnynitro - 06-07-2014
straight its one of them wanky push down primers and tbh its always been on the weak side
iv given up and its on its way to the local mechanic he can sort it or burn it either way i dont care

Fireseals can give you stick injectors if they're leaking/not there... youll get super heated gasses coming up the side of the nozzle which will cause various parts to expand/stick.
