After a small hiatus overseas I've come back and changed over my 4 diesel injectors and changed the oil+filter over.
Few things.

Defiantly leaking oil from somewhere on the left side of engine bay, as there was a reasonable amount of oil on the bottom plastic cover/hanging off the bottom of a pipe when i took it off to change my oil(which i washed last time i did it, so i know it was clean 5000km ago).It's probly gone down 3-4~mm oil level on the stick since i changed it last, as i slightly overfilled it last time, now it was exactly at the Full mark when i went to change it this time

Changing out the injectors, 2 of which(don't know which ones) where replaced by Hyundai at the end of 2015 (3 months out of warrenty :/)
Injectors 1 & 4 where 0445110 256 and both marked 1 & 4 . Injectors 2 & 3 where 0445110255 and unmarked.

All came out easily, all with a bit of oil around the injector, i assume that's normal.

Pulling out injectors 3 & 4 both came out with a large pool of fuel with it, aswell as injector 3 finding a hard foriegn piece of plastic that was at the bottom of the hole.



Good news is i'm getting the fuel economy closer to what i used to get a few years ago, the past week i've been getting between 5.0-6.5 around the city(yes i drive like a conservative grandma......  :needspecscleaning:), as opposed to the 7.5-8.0 I was getting before i replaced injectors(Tho I felt like it was still using more fuel than what it was saying as ive been filling it up way more than i was used to).

Bad news, that damn 'wobbling' noise and rough idleing(~1000rpm) after cold engine start is still there. Even with aircon off, and with drive belt off its still there. So im still lost  :crazy1: :crazy1: :crazy1: Tho is starts on a dime now, first time every time !!!!!

I used a poor mans stethoscope like @nzenigma suggested a while back, but couldn't localize the sound, best i could pin point was left side of engine, back was nothing, right was nothing, top and front mostly nothing till you started getting to left side.

Hi Misha.

Went looking for you in Krakow  :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Time passes so I will have to look at our  past discussion. Glad the new injectors solved some problems.

Oil leak on left side will be the crank oil seal.. Quite doable job DIY  :wink:
