That video was so informative. I never knew that the new style "direct injection" injectors had to use a special tool to seat the new seals. This kind of sponsored tools is great because u wouldnt want to take on a job that requires you to remove the injectors and not be able to get them back in correctly. Also you guys did a great job explaining and showing all the pieces in the kit and how to use it. Great job!

Great Tutorial! Cleaned up my carbon using different methods. First Walnut shells but I ended up buying the wrong shells (12Grit) Coarse and it would clog up the Blaster. Then Berryman Chemical Dip/Carb Cleaner, very time consuming, while waiting for chemicals to work, I was able to exchange the coarse for Fine grit (24) and was able to clean all the valves in an hour. The Portable Blaster at Harbor freight was $30 and the 25lbs of Walnut Shells was $25. A lot cheaper then the Dealership.

I'm doing a PCV body replacement an managed to get both fuel rails off without removing injectors. I ports are major carbed up but I don't even want to tackle that job. I was going to try and scrap off some of the built up carbon on the valves put notice the ports were not all the way closed. Didn't want risk knocking stuff of in them, so as I bad I would like to clean, I'm not. However, since since all the injectors stayed in I assume I only replaced the rail o-ring? I was hoping not to replace any, b/c those kits are like $11 each x6. but looks like I'm not replacing at least the top part. Oh well.

Are you sure the GDI injector seals on the in-head end are nylon? Bosch claims they are PTFE/Teflon. What is the result if the combustion chamber end PTFE/Teflon/Nylon seals and or bore are lightly lubricated with WD-40 or engine oil or PTFE O-ring lube during installation? Also I have seen a Bosch bulletin that recommends using a non-silicone lubricant on the fuel rail side seals/O-rings, has that recommendation been superseded?

On the 1.8T, the manifold has two studs so you have to have it at a perfect angle, and theres a timing sensor above the driver side manifold that makes it harder to get out and in. Make sure you have several rolls of shop towels, and at least 3 cans of carb cleaner as you'll go through a lot. The seals are pretty cheap, and make sure you replace the gasket.

Having a gauge needle that moves erratically is common among all cars, but I suggest you get advice from VW specialists first. You don't have to buy a new cluster, most are rebuildable. Auto dealers usually don't sell rebuilt clusters, only new ones that cost a fortune. Also, using a cluster from a junkyard may not be a good idea, because some clusters have to be programmed to match the car. Search online for companies that rebuild clusters after you get advice from VW specialists.

@@TheStuntViking lol! I had a fuel leak, I thought it was the injector seals, but I found it. It was a loose bolt somewhere, I forget where, but I was lucky enough to see where the drip drop of the fuel came from and just tightened the nut.
