Weighing up a prospective purchase that has been diagnosed by a diesel specialist as having an issue with injector seals, how much and how hard to rectify these myself and could it be the pump instead that is fubarred ?
-
Unless it's a mint looking very very cheap Omega I would say it's not worth the trouble.
-
If the pump has gone I would forget it unless, as Pete says, it's dirt cheap.
The injector seals are not too bad just depending which seals have gone. On the injectors there is a seal between the bridge and injector and another copper seal at the bottom of the injector.
If the bottom seal you would need to take the cam off to get the injectors out, if the top you can raise the cam enough to change the seals without removing.
This is for a 2.0 Vectra but same process.....http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/mozzer/howtoinjectorseals.pdf (ftp://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/mozzer/howtoinjectorseals.pdf)
Hope it helps!

Spot on. I used this guide to do mine on a 2.2 Veccy. The job went like a dream! :y
