Think I've got leaky injector seals? The old spray of WD-40 seems to clear the idle.
Can anyone recommend an outlet for a seal kit? Or even a part number?

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Tim - thought that you'd disappeared!

It might be worth trying your nearest main dealer - some parts can be quite reasonable

I'm sure GSF or Eurocarparts have the kits - around £6 IIRC.

which seals are these in the link above ? It isnt the Injector seals themselves which leak air it is the Injector Holder seals which are the rings which seal the injector holders to the Cylinder head ... you would change all 8 whilst out of course so you need 4 injector seals ( Thick rubber rings) and 4 Injector Holder rings ( thin rubber rings )

The last lot of injector seals I bought from one of those two (can't remember which) were noticeably inferior quality when compared to genuine Volvo ones. I ended up getting new ones from the dealer for peace of mind.

YMMV
