Engine Mechanical problem
2002 Renault Espace 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

Hello,

can anyone help with a possible diagnosis for this problem. There are exhust fumes and a lot of oily/carbon deposits around what i think is injector no.3, is gonna be an expensive fix or something simple. I am no good with modern cars i can cope with my series 3 landrover and that is about it.

the injector seal is leaking .. the injector will need repalcing .. a relatively straight forward job .. do it sooner rather than later as they tend to get a build up underneath and can be very difficult to get out !! I cannot quote a price i'm afraid !! but it will not be too expensive !!
