Here we are on the 9th April and the Volvo is still in the workshop.
They got the injectors out, took soaking the area in something to dissolve a lot of carbon and a puller but they were out. They pulled all five, two came out easily, and three needed to be pulled.
Then they needed to clean up a lot of mess of carbon and other crap from the injector bores and seats so they were spotless, otherwise they would just leak again. However Easter intervened, and lack of staff (small workshop) meant progress slowed somewhat.
They got it all back together last week, however it was apparent that there were still issues with the injectors. They were removed again, and sent away for testing and cleaning where needed.
Injectors were due back yesterday and they were really hoping to get the car back to me. However the injectors never arrived. Hopefully Monday I'll get it back, after almost 2.5 weeks.
