I don't know if this is the correct section, but here goes. My 100% reliable mk 8 tourer surprised me last week coming home from Scotland. Just coming off the M6 onto the M61 a loud ticking noise then "BANG", clouds of blue smoke, so pulled over. It was, to me, an injector problem and the RAC chap agreed. When I looked at home the next day, number 1injector had blown clean out ! The bolt holding the retaining plate had sheared, allowing the injector to blow out completely, only retained by a mangled injector pipe. A new pipe and bolt solved the problem and now it runs as well as before. Anyone else had a problem like this ?
