Diesel smell in Mitsubishi Outlander
There is a diesel smell entering the cabin of my Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0. My local garage has been unable to find the source of the leak, but suspects that it may be coming from the pump.
The garage is reluctant to commit to the expense of the repair without being able to actually see the source of the leak. Is this a known issue? The engine is a Volkswagen unit.

28-1-2012: Manufacturer recall to replace Siemens Piezoelectric injectors of 2006 - 2009 2.0 TDI BMN engines. All the injectors from the the 2.0 TDI PD engines that use piezoelectric Siemens injectors and Siemens ECUs are affected by this problem. The most problems are on the Passat BKD 2.0 TDI 140HP. No problem from 2009 and the introduction of the common rail 2.0 TDI engine (CEGA).
