Hi guys, I’ve owned my Octavia VRS a year today. It has done 146,000 (I have done 10k) since owning it … and today it has really screwed me over

Causally driving down the M60 and all of a sudden I smell diesel … I didn’t think much off it as I thought it was the lorry in front of me. Untill I started to hear a noticeable rattling noise on low Revs … I get off the motorway and the car started to sound quite bad. Loss of power and a very noisy diesel engine .. RAC called out and managed to fix the fuel leak but it is still rattling like crazy.

I have took it into a garage this morning… I have no idea what’s wrong not sure if the lack of fuel in the cylinder has caused some problem but the engine noise sounds prettt serious… I just want to rant. And this sounds like it’s gunna hurt my pockets

Where was the Diesel leak at an injector?

How much oil in the sump, is there too much, diluted with diesel?

RAC said to me that the fuel had leaked from the fuel rail. He took the connector off, cleaned it and popped it back on. Seemed to have stopped the leak

Oil was checked and it has about half on the dip stick. He stopped the leak but no one can seem to figure out why the engine sounds like it’s running badly
