Thank you for the replies! It is a hissing noise but not constant it's a quick sound every couple of seconds. My friend did tighten down the bolt with a 13mm socket last night, it didn't make much difference I'll try the Allen keys later aswell. I'll do my journey then get it replaced Monday. If I n...
Good morning, So last night I noticed that in the last week my number four fuel injector on my 2.0 hdi (1999) has started ever so slightly leaking. The bad part for me is this was gone midnight last night and I am working 08.00-15.00 today then meant to driving 400miles to Leeds from the SouthWest. ...

Also conincidently the drivers side dipped bulb has gone too, but prob not related! Im going to get a multimet...
Sorry to bring back an old post, however I was using the search function and a problem I am having is very similar to this. over the weekend when I've been driving my 406 2.0 HDI V reg Ive been hearing a audible beep, it is exactly the same as the warning beep for if fuel levels low or handbrake lef...
