Not much info in this … how did you take out injectors? What happened to the original copper washers? Were they left in the engine ? How did you clean once injectors were out? What was the blue box tool for? … I stopped watching half way through … thanks anyways

I saw a rolling Road test on one of these on a fiesta ST and across the six settings five of them had no benefit with the sixth given an eight brake horsepower gain basically worthless you’d be better off taking it to a tuner or not bothering 👎😔

Just for reference, I haven't taken my injectors out but... I had 2 leaking injectors, 1 at the "chuffing" stage of leaking, quite a bit of solid tar around both. (Note: I always tighten them "hot" immediately after a 15+ mile drive, so the carbon/tar is softened). Initially tightened all clamps to 7Nm. That stopped the chuffing but there was still an exhaust smell in the car at times. Eventually tightened all clamps to 14Nm. This needs to be done several times (over several days) until none of the clamps move at 14Nm. I used to tighten every Wednesday, straight after a particular journey! It's basically squeezing the injector down the tube through the (warm) tar and also squeezing any tar out from above/below the copper washer. The tar is so viscous that that's not going to happen in one go! This has been fine for 3 years now. I check them every 6 months or so at 14 Nm & there's basically no movement. I believe the part of the studs that screws into the head is only M6. I think I found the recommended torque for 8.8 grade M6 thread is 12 Nm. (16Nm for 10.9 grade steel). So my 14Nm may be slightly over the recommended torque for that size and there may be some risk. (Although I think the upper part of the stud is M8, so who knows what difference that makes?) Angle tightening a stud that's being reused is also a risk, so take your choice! The down side of angle tightening is also that you don't know what torque you ended up at, so you can't check them in a years time incase they've backed off. The problem with these injectors isn't that the copper washer fails. The problem is that the cap nuts back off until there isn't enough clamping force for the copper washer to seal. (If you look at a leaking injector that's at the chuffing stage the clamp nuts won't be much more than finger tight!) If people torqued these down every time they changed their engine oil, then leaking injectors would be a thing of the past. (Or if someone made a clamp to stop the nuts backing off over time).

You forgot essential information to mention and that is the amount of tension of the belt is determined by the alignment of the markings on the tensioner. To little or to much pressure and you run the risk of engine damage!

The car turned out very nice. The only thing that bothers me is that the fender flares should be painted the same color as the car. They scream "here I am" and just don't make a smooth transition to the body. Even better would have been to take the time to flare the metal.

Don't sand the caliper pins. Clean them with a solvent and grease them. Don't get grease on the braking material of the brake pad. Stopping your car requires FRICTION. Clean the brake dust off the areas of the caliper where the brake shoe slides. Try not to chisel the red paint off the caliper with your screwdriver. And yes, there is a way for diyers to deactivate the e-brake without idling the engine.

Loved these MK2's growing up in the late 80's/90's.... there were just so many great cars during that period like Golf MK1, Lancia Delta Integrale, 205GTI and Renault 5 Turbo to pick but a few. I am sure you did this car proud.

Shame about your Audi being Neglected... I feel the same every time I get My Car back from My Girlfriend - Kerbed Wheels, Scratches from Jewellery all over the paint around door handles etc etc.... I do like The Little MG's. I remember when MG went out of business and they were almost giving away those cars. Thing that put me off getting one at the time was worrying about getting parts in the future for them.
