Injector bolt came loose while driving on motorway. Injectors popped up and there was an oil leakage.
Trying to put things back together, bought new bolt and tool to try get her starting again to drive to the garage to have a proper look/fix.
Now, it’s very difficult to properly get to the bolt, tried to disconnect the lines and plugs to get better access but the 2pin plugs on affected injectors are stuck. Can I use WD40 on it or will that affect the plug.
Also injectors seem very hard to push back down, could I possibly hammer them down or will that damage parts?
Any help/tips/ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
I’ve got zero mechanical knowledge and thought the car was a write off but after finding out it was „only“ the injector bolt I’ve had a bit more hope again.
