Hi all, I had my injectors replaced last week by the main dealer under a recall and today I decided to go for a run to 'try them out' but my car went into limp mode after a few miles on the duel carriageway.

I drove back home and tuned the car off and when I restarted it the warning message had gone so i drove around the block to find the turbo not coming on boost until about 3000+ rpm and it totally flat below that.

I took the engine covers off to find a small pipe that i'm assuming should go into the back of the rocker cover had come off. I started the car and could feel the vacum so blocked it off and drove around the block and it was running fine.

On further inspection with a mirror and a light I could see a small pipe had snapped off where the dangling pipe should obviously be.

My question is just a 'checking so I can't be fobbed off' question, I assume the rocker cover has to be removed to replace the injectors? in which case it was defiantly the so called mechanic the threw it back together.

Heres a couple of pics

I asked this question last week. Yes they remove the rocker to check / replace the injectors.

Oops, that's broken.

Yes that has to be removed and care needs to be taken as its a tight little bugger sometimes.

Will need a new cover.

Thanks for the replies guy's, I thought so but just wanted to sure before I go back tomorrow.

Does this mean the whole rocker cover is knackered now then?

Just to help anyone else that may end up in this situation I can confirm the rocker cover is now knackered.

The dealer is ordering one up and it should get fitted on Wednesday morning.
