I can't rememberexactly how it comes off but don't recal this being a particularly difficult procedure so just work it out as you go along. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Many thanks JayGee for the precise description on this job. Its a "restrictive space" for the plug mentioned but your comments have given me confidence to try that plug again. I did put a little silicone spray to it when last looked at it which will help. I'm glad that I didn't try to force it and think you might add an update when you try the new size O rings you ordered out.

Well good news the o-ring fix is still holding up after 2000 miles ( circled in orange ) , I could only get 2 o-rings onto the throttle body ( not 3 as some people have managed)

There is a readily available seal for that.

Finally got round to completing this handy little fix. I tried three O rings and found it was still quite a loose connection. I ended up getting a really tight fit with no less than 5 O rings (75x3). I also re-seated the green seal in the elbow before refitting - omitting the plastic ring as suggested. The whole thing now feels solid. There’s no movement whatsoever and initial tests would suggest it’s tight as a badger’s.

I did the fix with 3 Orings on the throttle body inlet hose and it feels solid, it does not move at all.

I have the same problem. Mine started to leak to the bottom of the engine. Did you find the problem? |
