have you replaced the engine partitions? I killed injector 5&6 last year because the centre partition leaked

[robinasu]

I would put the washer back in as step one. Hopefully all will be ok after that. Do you still have it?

As of now I put silicone on junctions top and bottom, but partition was not cracked.

Did you take the foam cover out? Seems to me water under there that vaporizes due to engine heat would condense under the foam and fall back down to the injectors. I have no evidence of this, but I took it out just in case- plus I like a little more engine sound.

Yes I removed the foam and water still pooled around the injectors when the x5 was sitting outside.

Lol true, are the updated ones move the junction points further out to the sides or what is the difference?
