Hi guys

I'm new here. I cant see an introduction forum so Thought I'd better say hello and then post my question.

I'm Ratty and I have a 1999 Td5 110 commercial station wagon and it does get used in anger.

I've heard of diesel getting the oil when the head cracks. I've heard of diesel getting into the coolant when the fuel cooler goes down.

Does anybody know if it is possible for diesel to get in the coolant any other way except for via the fuel cooler?

Cheers

welcome mate

Cracked heads leaking diesel into the sump is slightly more common (still infrequent), or O rings on the injectors leaking fuel back up into the head (thus draining into the sump) more common.

Thanks Steve.

I haven't heard of it myself but I just want to make sure that it's the residue left over from the blown fuel cooler that I can smell.
