the injector seals are o-rings I expect and perish, but to get to them is a pig to do, I parked on a hill once and never again! lol
20k servicing also worries me on cars aswell.
that's true the swirl pot linkage jumps off but they still run fine with out it connected
i prefer the cdti over the 2.0-2.2dti. If your going too look at a dti take the top hat off the fuel filter housing and see if the diesel is black with oil if it is just walk away
injector seals have gone in it.
for the dti engine there's 2 high blow and low blow high blow metal pipe runs over top of the engine low blow it runs round the side
