REPLACING INJECTORS ON MY MK7 GTI

[@JakeDeeter]

yeah had a blast helping!

[@HostileMAV]

One of my injectors was stuck open. I bought the same kit from Urotuning. Its funny that your injectors took so much effort to pull out. Mine came out with the fuel rail with no effort.

[@GTInick]

That is funny, maybe ur old ones were newer than my old ones. Cuz I know for a fact mine were never replaced before I did them lol

[@HostileMAV]

@@GTInick Maybe, I found it strrange that they pulled out with the fuel rail. I was expecting to use the fancy injector removal tool. The fuel rail pipe from the HPFP was loose so someone was probably in there before.

[@armandomanuelnieves6635]

Good thing that you change your injectors in time bro, i didn’t change mine injectors and injector 1 blew the seal and melted my head and fuck my cylinder walls.

[@GTInick]

Noooooo. What’d u end up doing bro?

[@kawzx777]

I see the injector kit frm Urotuning but what coil packs did u go with?

I'm looking into the downpipes, and as of rn im aiming towards the catless but i got the stock exhaust with just a muffler delete. Would i need an aftermarket exhaust? for performance/reliability reasons, and also for sound. I don't want mine sounding too much like a tractor lmao

[@GTInick]

Tbh man there really isn’t a point in going catless unless u want flames. U really don’t get any extra hp with a catless downpipe compared to a catted one. And no u don’t need an aftermarket exhaust to install a downpipe. Most of them mount directly to the stock catback system. There’s plenty of videos online of how people install them. I’ve had both of ARMs downpipes and I liked them. I’m running a full turbo back now from CTS turbo and it sounds good. Little too quiet for my liking but that’s fine. If I were u, I’d go with a catted downpipe and call it a day. Since u already have a muffler delete, it’ll sound really good!

[@GTInick]

And also whatever u do…. Please keep the resonator!!! These cars sound horrible with an aftermarket downpipe with no rez and no muffler. I warned u lol

[@allenmiljkovic-kf5zn]

yeah ive heard many with both cut and a catless dp, man my ears were crying lmao. I just feel like catless will sound better with just a muffler delete, just cause i feel like the catted one holds some noise back, but idk i might be trippin lmao@@GTInick

[@GTInick]

@@allenmiljkovic-kf5zn I feel u, but I ran ARMs catted one for awhile with no muffler and it was loud, I switched to the catless one from them and it was only a little louder. If u get the catless one ur gonna have a permanent check engine light which is never fun lol…. I had one for like 4 months. I have spacers on my catted downpipe through CTS right now so I don’t have a CEL and it’s been keeping the light off.

[@allenmiljkovic-kf5zn]

i might just go with the arm catted then lol. im planning on going just stage 1 maybe idk if going stage two is safe. So catted might just be the move.@@GTInick

[@kamimaza]

What error codes do you get, I'm starting to get a P0201 Injector circuit / Open Cylinder 1

[@GTInick]

Hey man sorry for the late response. I got that same code but it said “Cylinder 1- Injector Circuit” that’s it. I also had P000B- B Camshaft Position Slow Response. I’m not sure if that was an early sign my injectors starting to go and I only say that because once I replaced my injectors, that camshaft code never came back and has still not come back. Injectors can affect a lot of different things so I like to think that it was just a sign of bad injectors to make me sleep better at night lol. But yes I got the same P0201 code, definitely replace ur injectors. Better to just do all 4 since you’ll be right there anyway.

[@js1354]

Have the same problem. Got a misfire on cylinder 2, replaced coils and sparks, cleared it for a couple of days. Tried fuel cleaner also didnt work. I find this video helpful because next step is replacing fuel injectors ao will def use this vid. Quick question did you do any carbon cleaning by any chance? Thanks for your time

[@GTInick]

Hey man, ya unfortunately it sounds like ur injectors are the problem. The hardest part was getting the manifold off but once u do that, it’s easy. And for the carbon cleaning, I had that done around 100k miles so it wasn’t too bad at the time of the video. Glad the video helped a little, let me know if u have any more questions!

[@shawnreems493]

Got the same problem on my cylinder 3. Have tried the same Coils, Sparks got a company to do a carbon cleaning. Definitely need to do an oil change after changing out fuel injectors as fuel can get into the oil.

[@CarsandCoding]

How many miles were on those injectors? Would you recommend replacing injectors whenever valve cleaning is done?

[@slayednpked1]

Every 30k take them out and have them cleaned and bench tested. It’s a very simple diy job.

[@GTInick]

Ya no🤣 nobody on this planet is taking their injectors out every 30k miles. What are u talking about?

[@slayednpked1]

@@GTInick someone’s a rookie in the vw world I see

[@Latinomicz]

I replaced my spark plugs and coils due to misfiring on cylinder 3. I turn my car back on, the light remained. I checked with OBD11 live data and see that it seems to misfire as soon as I turn on the car. Once the RPMs settle, the misfiring goes away. Wondering if this sounds like failing injectors?

[@golfmaniac007]

Carb clean and or dirty injector

[@GTInick]

Could be early signs of failing injector, in my case I wasn’t having and early signs of bad injectors, the car just went into epc mode and I wasn’t able to to go WOT.

[@Latinomicz]

@@GTInick I was going to get a carbon cleaning done this coming Monday. I read that cold start mistfires are common when it needs some carbon cleaning. I have 45k miles and to be honest, drive the car a tad tame to preserve the clutch since I'm Stg1 High Torque. I know driving in low RPMs often causes more carbon buildup. I'm hoping this helps and yeah, if not, probably injectors would be the next phase.

[@GTInick]

@@Latinomicz u actually could have an issue within ur fuel system somewhere. If u replaced ur coils and spark plugs and the issue is still there, it might be fuel related. My low pressure fuel pump (under the rear seats) went bad sometime last year and anytime I would give it gas, it would misfire very bad. I’ve never had a misfire at idle like ur explaining so I’m not sure about that. These cars do idle pretty rough, just something they do.

[@GTInick]

@@Latinomicz but then again, u said u had a misfire in cylinder 3 which would have been an easy fix by just replacing ur coils and plugs. Does the car misfire under load at all? Or is it only on cold starts?

[@nequanlucas2162]

When your injectors came in the mail from UroTuning, were the seals already on the injectors or did you need special tools to put them on yourself?

[@GTInick]

They come pre-sealed. I didn’t wanna seal them myself so I bought a kit that was sealed. The link in the description is the exact ones I bought

[@blindatuchannel5567]

What were the symptoms?

[@GTInick]

Well first I had a code for the fuel injector in cylinder 1. Then the car would cut power under boost and start stuttering, not a good feeling. Replaced all 4 injectors and she’s back to normal.

[@sor.r6]

i was wondering if anyone would be able to help but i have a check engine light and the code it’s throwing me is a p304 or p404 i cent remember but it is a contained misfire in cylinder 4 and ive done everything, coil packs, spark plugs, and i can’t figure out what is wrong

[@GTInick]

Is the car not driving right?

[@rafaeli.garcia6562]

Maybe a piston is not compressing properly air. Its a common thing on VW.

[@assi5636]

Is this bosch injectors?

[@GTInick]

Yes, I linked the kit in the description

[@Tsims_ms3]

Yikes. This guy cant catch a break. Shouldve bought a Honda.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Naw. Too slow even when modded
