Strong petrol smell!

Strong smell of petrol! Switch engine off & look under bonnet & underneath.

Did oil change & wait till today to start z cold again.

Further inspection under bonnet I a petrol leak on a small rubber pipe by injector 4!

The clamp screw was loose so tightened up & fixed:biggrin:

    Really common. The rubber contracts in the cold and leaks. Tightening the clips is required, check all the fuel lines in the bay. Particularly the link hose on the rail under the plenum. It's time to start thinking about replacing those lines though if this has started to happen.
