I urge everyone to R+R their plastic valve cover at every oil change and inspect the injector compartment for any signs of leakage from the injector seat in the cylinder head. You can inspect the small diameter rubber fuel bypass hoses at the same time. You are looking for any abnormal deposits or discoloration around the injectors.
Removal for the inspection and the reinstallation is simple and fast. The bolts are 5mm ALLEN (NOT torx). The Pre '04 Sprinters have 8 securing the cover and the '04-'06 have 7 seven bolts. M6x21mm with a captive washer 5mm Allen
If caught early you will simplify injector removal and safeguard your injector seat from further, more serious erosion.
Ignoring this condition will lead to possible breakage of the hold down bolt as well as severe exterior coking that may engulf the electrical connectors on the injectors and lead to a harness replacement as well as more time consuming injector extraction.
DO NOT allow someone to perform an emergency fix. I assure you, it will not last.
Kindly report what you find. And remember, YOU NO LONGER NEED TO REPLACE THE CYL HEAD. I can help. Doktor A
