2538 engine leaking air around injector ?

[dwalk19]

I have a 2538 with 160hrs, i was using it the other day in low range backing up a hill to rake down it when I hear air an puffing sound, i popped hood and i see air/hear "puffing" from what i believe is where fuel injector goes into top if cylinder and i think its the glow plug there also, i took to the dealership and dropped it off but havent heard anything yet, any ideas, sorry for the bad picture but there was also a alittle bit of oil around it

It doesn't use regular glow plugs. It has a heater grid (if thats what its called). The system runs sky high fuel pressure like 20,000+ psi. I would think that sound is a tiny amount of fuel escaping from a loose connection. Please update when its fixed.

That's a shame.. its about a 10.00 fix but your gonna get charge over a grand from the dealer..
It seals w/ a copper gasket & some orings for dust seals.. they're gonna tell you, you needed a NEW injector & they're gonna hit you w/ 4-5 hrs of labor..
You can PLAINLY SEE it has 1 fuel line, an electrical clip & is held down w/ an Allen screw.. 30 minutes tops..
You'll be VERY LUCKY if they don't tell you, you need a NEW cylinder head..
OR they might cover the whole thing under warranty..Lol

It would be nice if warranty covers it, thats why i bought a used but newer tractor to have some while still having 2 yr warranty, but i'd probably be happy if it still cost me only $1000, i bought this tractor used and cant afford any super expensive repairs, would this copper seal just be defective or worn out that may of caused it to fail or could there be a bigger issue

The thought crossed my mind of a leak coming from around the injector gasket but I didn't think quality control could be that sloppy.

Another TYM with an issue. Mahindra really needs to rethink the partners they're using for re-badging units.

The engine is made by Mahindra.

The engine is made by Mahindra.

Yep same Mahindra engines in the 2500 series TYM machines and 1500 series Mitsubishi built machines.

And the fuel system and electricals are all Bosch. So that’s a pretty good partnership. Wondering if the OP got his problem resolved?

I'm original poster not yet still haven't heard from the dealership kind of afraid to call them, lol
