My wife has been told her [R] reg Astra 1.7Dti has a leak from the injector leak off pipe. Is it relatively simple or is it expensive to put right, ie does need the injectors replacing ? -- Regards Centurian **************************** Excerise is more than just shoving a mouse over a mat.

Depends which engine. There are two. Either the Isusu (SP?) or the Vx 1.7d. The Vx needs a bit of rubber pipe (about £12) and an easy job. The Issusu (we'll try a different guess on the spelling) needs a fabricated pipe assembly. Easy to change, cost? pass, I don't know. Dave
It' a GM, and thank's, a bit of piping is a lot cheaper than an injector that I thought may have been causing the leak. -- Regards Centurian **************************** Excerise is more than just shoving a mouse over a mat. Get out there and do some. ****************************
My wife was quoted £98 and told them to do the work. When bill presented it came to... £10 for pipe £26 labour £6 Vat £42 total Now I suspect someone didn't really want the job so they over priced it, then felt guilty about the labour charge. -- Regards Centurion **************************** Excerise is more than just shoving a mouse over a mat.

Did not have any problems with starting, the car had gone to garage for something else unrelated and they spotted it. Not complaining about that, better to do preventative maintenance that to fix when broke. -- Regards Centurion **************************** Excerise is more than just shoving a mouse over a mat.
