If you used one washer instead of two washers on the banjo bolt would that prevent the car from starting?

 

Which banjo bolt? I can't think of any that would prevent the car from starting, but it would surely cause it to leak.

 

oops I didn't mention that .... the one I replaced the pd with

 

Well....Are you getting fuel? Can you smell fuel on the spark plugs?

Did you use the one commonly specified or something different?

Did you properly prime the fuel system?

 

Banjo bolts require TWO crush washers to seal properly.&nbsp I'd not recommend driving around until you take care of this.

nah ... I haven't done any of that yet .... haven't even checked for spark yet ... just trying to find out if it is worth it to go back and add a second washer

 

Thanks .... I'll add a second washer asap

 

I re-used all my old crush washers when I swapped in my j-spec. I highly recommend that you DONT do that. I didnt know I had to replace them. Put the second one on and save yourself a headache, possibly an engine fire.

 

been there ... once is enough!
