Hey
I have recently noticed that my berlingo has developed a ticking noise which is definitely related to engine RPM (it happens whilst stationary, so it's definitely coming from the engine). I've had a nose around the engine bay and I noticed that there's a shiny black substance that's coming from one of the injectors. It's solidified, I poked the substance with a screwdriver and it just broke away. I've no idea how long it's been there, I was checking for a fuel leak as the cabin has started smelling quite badly of fuel when stationary.
My main concern is the ticking as it sounds quite ominous! May not be relevant but the MAF is currently disconnected as it's faulty. I reconnected the MAF and the ticking remained and the only change was the return of poor performance, so I'm sure that the ticking is not related to the MAF.
How likely is it that the ticking is caused by this injector? I'm guessing that the injector seal needs sorting regardless, is it easy enough to do DIY?
Thanks for any help.
