Hey Charles! I love your content and wanted to give a quick tip that I remember from college for anyone who may not know. At around the 10 minute mark you mentioned needing to calculate for the extra distance on the torque adapter. When using a torque wrench with any sort of adapter, and you don't know the formula to calculate for the extra distance, just offset the adapter to 90 degrees and you wont need to do any maths.
I've been doing a little trick with the CCTA teflon seals. Stretch out the new seal with a pen or pencil tip slightly, just barely enough to slip over the injector tip. Get it in the groove, then take a zip tie and wrap it around the seal and tighten the ziptie to compress the seal and flatten it out in the groove. Never had any leaks and its nice snug fit.
Great video Charles! Very clear and concise. As far as injector replacements go, it may look a bit daunting to some, but looks to be about average for most modern DI-type engines. The by-gone days of replacing injectors on a Mk1 CIS engine are long behind us. Thanks for giving us this insight on what it takes to service injectors today.
Thanks Charles, My 1.8T A3 developed a power loss, vibration and smoke. I've found number 3 injector stuck open. this really helped me get it all apart. Thanks again Mike
Fantastic, I love a mechanic that saves you money. I was quoted £437 = to $637 per injector before labour. Joke! I trained to be a mechanic in the 80's.

Hey, HumbleMech. Took me almost 5 days to remove the Intake Manifold even with your videos. The throttle body took me 3 days to figure out how to remove. I enough fractured my wrist trying to twist around the narrow front without getting all the tubes and stuff out of the way. Shame on VW for making this such a tough job for something that needs to be done regularly every 2-3 yrs to clean.
I have the European s3 so I also have 4 injectors in the intake manifold. This is not rocket science but deviates a little bit from your instruction video that explains how to remove intake manifold. Also a don’t see any plastic guide rings mounted on the injections when you remove and install them I have them on mine injectors. These are plastic rings with 3 grabbing points and also a metal ring that’s installed over the lower shaft underneath the injector there’s a groove were they grab on so for the rest top notch explanation of how to remove and install injectors
Could you mention a little about diesel VW’s...? What you could/should look after in 100.000km service intervalls etc... Thanx and keep up the good work 👍
Change timing belt and tensioner every 100k km, use only good quality diesel fuel, change glow plugs every 100k km, drive outside of town at least once a week to help burn those carbon deposits in the DPF and the EGR valve. Also get oil changes every 9 months or 10k km (my personal suggestion) and change the brake fluid and coolant every 2-3 years. Make sure that when you replace brake discs that you use OEM parts, otherwise they will start to vibrate under braking pretty soon and have good tires mounted on the car. One more thing that is specific to VW Diesels is to check sometimes using a good diagnostics computer, the values of the injectors. They should be close to zero and add up to be 0 and not see any values that are sky high compared to the others. If you have a DSG transmission and don't beat on it that hard you can change the oil in it every 5 engine oil changes (10k intervals), or if you are beating on it, then 3-4 oil changes. Check your exhaust pipe. The tail should be clan and not covered by carbon buildup. You should be able to put your finger inside the pipe, rub it on the edge and get your finger out clean. If it's dirty, then you have a problem with the engine or the DPF or Turbo.
I love your videos. I have "only" been watching for 2-3 years, and I have just realised that I haven't subscribed until now... In regards to the video I am very disappointed that VW didn't fix this issue with soot building up on the backside of the intake valves. This is 2020, and they have had this issue from 2006 when the 1. gen 1.4 TSI twin charged engine was introduced in Europe. I actually still have mine with only 89.000kms.
Daniel Fl. so is the soot build up in the intake manifold is caused by a faulty injector? As I've got the 1.4 tsi 122 and got same issue, the intake manifold full of soot :/. Tia
They did fix it but only in euro since 2014 at least www.greencarcongress.com/2014/01/2014014-audi.html european EA888's with multi-port injection. Regular port injection for idle, cruise, and direct injection for high rpm high load. Shame because this is why I passed on all USA bound VAG products simply because of this and went with other manufacturers since 2014 or just bought non direct injected VW's since. Various assessment criteria are used to co-ordinate the different injection modes, including: efficiency, knocking; emissions, especially particle mass and number; manifold wall condensation, fuel in the engine oil; and smooth running.

Guess VW hasn't learned from diesel gate still penny pinching to the max and cheap as fck in the USA . Someone with time and money should see if their cars infringe in EPA or some sort of law when they offer this in Europe but not in USA. This plus fck bouracracy and shitty companies giving two fucks about engineering and environmental progress makes me want to have Tesla and electric cars just fully take over and make all gas cars illegal for daily commuter use.

Hello hope you’re fine. I’m from ECUADOR I have seen some of your videos on RUclips I thing they’re so helpful. I just have a question I hope you can help me with some tips I have a 2012 Volkswagen amarok 2.0L TSI , and it is consuming oil , there is no leaks at all but I just realized that from the PCV valve some oil is coming out to the intake manifold and also there is a huge vacuum when a remove the cap from oil engine. My question is Is it normal the oil coming out from the PCV and the vacuum? I hope you can give me some advice about it so I can replace the valve thank you so much.
I just bought a 2018 Golf R and your videos are excellent. I am looking to do the Stage 2 modifications. From your videos I'm thinking with enough confidence, I can do a lot of this myself. What torque wrenches do you use? Thank you again for your videos.
NICE!!! None of the stage 2 stuff is hard, the downpipe will be tricky on jack stands. But. its doable. I have been really liking the gearwrench 120x torque wrenches
@@HumbleMechanic I see you are partial to the IE products. I've been going back and forward with the different manufactures. I've looked at APR, Revo and 034 Motorsports as well. Revo has a Performance Pack that includes everything but the Turbo inlet pipe and the Downpipe. What are your thoughts?
If you get too much fuel mixing with engine oil, your oil will be thinned out and you could get a bearing knock. Happened to me a few months ago on a new engine rebuild
Did a great job on a VW cc 2.0t motor swap, at the trans shop, work, a while back, ✨😎🔧🏁 except the AC wires share some short on car, 🙄, Anyways, on one now , this Audi A4 2.0t loads of fuel leaking🌊 🚗🧯, and great video here on what the possibility's that could be leaks, good looks , Ciao 🎰💪💚...lol the customer just showed up with some fuel injectors, to choose from lol🤣🔫🎲
Perfect know ima knock mine out cause my epc light keeps coming on and the car goes limp then I have to pull over restart and hope it doesn't come back on😮💨
What's the 3 pronged plastic piece that came off with the metal looking washer on my 2011 a3? Should that be installed? I don't see them in this video.
Hey man, I’m about to do this job on my gti and I watched your video on removing the manifold, do I need to remove the hardline from the pump before removing the manifold or after?
It takes 1 hour just to get the manifold off,so cleaning all four valves is basically a good 5 or 6 hours then,if we was to use zip ties and carb cleaner,I think I can tackle this job my self
Re the cylinder compression seal on the injector, only the stretch to put it on was shown, there is a secondary compression step, so don't think you can do that without the tool very successfully.
Hi! I just got my first mk7 R. I’m trying to use your videos as references. From your point of view what are some primary mods to start with? And are your videos in a chronological order based on mods you made?
Question; On the gen 2 CDAA 1.8 tsi, can I take the manifold off without removing the fuel rail, and with that, the injectors? I want to do a valve clean but don't want to have to take the injectors out and reseal them. TIA!
Another one good video!! I would like to do things like that in my car but It's a litle dangerous if you don't have practise, anyway I see this kind of jobs and how It goes. Could you tell me if It's a good idea delete the intake flaps??
I'm dealing with replacing the valve cover seal. Yet I'm not able remove the fuel injectors; I noticed you talked about a lock? Are you able to explain more about the lock on the injectors????
I wouldn't need the special tool to reseal the injectors if I just buy brand new injectors correct? I would only need the special tool if I were just trying to clean the old injectors and needed to put them back having to reseal it in that worst case scenario you mentioned of the seal getting seal stuck in the cylinder head right?
Question - what was the point of entirely removing the m10 triple square bolt on the bracket? I feel like you could just get it a bit loose, take the top nut off and that’d give you enough wiggle room to take the manifold off? (Putting the bolt back is quite a task haha)
Hi Humble mechanic love your videos . I have golf 1.4 tsi caxa .misfire on cy 2. Compression pressure at cyl 2. Is 180psi. Changed injector,plug,and coil pack. Checked wires coming to injectors, they seamed fine . Still missing at no. 2. Swopped plug and coil from 1 to 2 .still misfire at cyl 2. Any thoughts? Please.
One thing I never really figured out. What is the metal cage for? When I first did one of these what back when, I forgot to reinstall those. No VW were harmed during the committing of my egregious error. I also noticed Gen 3’s do not use the plastic spacer on the bottom.
Hi was hoping to get your opinion on piggyback ECUs for the golf r like the JB4 I’ve been thinking about one for a bit of a performance boost with less risk of voided warranty issues, cheers mate really enjoy your videos 👍👍👍🍻
Great video. Gave me the courage to clean my injectors on SQ5. Having real trouble re-seating though. Followed your instructions but 3 out of 6 just won't go in no matter what. "Gently pushing into place" simply doesn't work. Any suggestions?
@@sshmunk The o-rings that are pressed onto the injectors expand after being pressed on, so I took it back to the shop that pressed them on and they redid them. I put them straight in after that with no problems. So once you have the o-rings sealed onto injectors, make sure you install them right after and don't wait days later like I did.
I did this and my car won’t start now. You can hear it trying to start. I verified and there’s no a fuel leak and all connectors are plugged in. Any idea on what to look for to find out the issue?
I'm literally having the same exact issue except I replaced my Intake manifold.None of the injectors came out with the manifold..Somehow It seems as if there's a fuel delivery issue.Any luck finding out what's going on?
I’m shocked just how much build up this engine has got from just around 10k mileage.. I’ve just hit 11k on my Gen3.. though my Cupra 290 has been sitting for the last three weeks.. yay to isolation.
Hey Charles, would you say it’s a good opportunity to change the oil cooler when replacing injectors? Seems to be accessible during this procedure. Asking for a gti at 80k miles
I’ve smelled fuel the last few days and finally noticed a mist of fuel where the injector meets the fuel rail. I’m not getting any CEL’s though. And do I need to replace the injector or just the seal? I don’t see how the fuel rail could be bad.
I have Tiguan with 2.0 TFSI engine. Driving on highway injector blow up and got stuck in open position. Drove home for about 10 minutes, had some white smoke coming out exhaust. My question is, how likely that there is catalytic converter damage from fuel coming out and should change engine oil as well? Thanks
My 2012 Golf R has around 120,000+ miles on it now, and I'm unaware of any service done of a full carbon clean. Im also aware that the PCV diaphragm tends to rupture or tear after many miles. Is it smart to invest in like a Racingline catch can where they replace the PCV? (Well, part of it, only for the EA113, the EA888 gets a totally replaces PCV from racingline). I take this car to the track and do spend a lot of time in the higher RPM range and have heard of that PCV oil blow-by that some Mk7's are known to have while on track days.
I’ve been getting random misfires on cylinder 2 on my Mk7 gti, I changed spark plugs and coil packs too. Do you think cleaning my fuel injectors would help stopping the misfires?
@@rajamin1986 yes sir, I needed to replace a fuel injector. You should go to a vw specialist shop and do a compression test on your cylinders to confirm the issue.
Hello Charles. This is unrelated to this video but I'm wondering if you know if it's possible to check to see if my car has been tuned using vcds. If so do you have a video available?
Hi Charles, It's the only wideo where intake manifold was removed before removal of fuel rail. Does it depend on engine code? Is it possible to remove intake manifold without touching fuel rail on 2.0 CPMB (Audi)?
I'm replacing the fuel injectors for rough idling engine while still. RPM's bounces around until you start moving. Only happens with first startup of the day. How do you know if you need to have your manifold media blasted once it's out as well?
Just finished doing a lot of work on my 1.4TSI CAXA engine - new timing chain, VVTi pulley, intake camshaft, oil pump, VVTi solenoid, cam sensor and spark plugs. The engine has a high misfire count [around 100] on cylinder 3 only when cold but the count doesn't rise when it gets to temperature. I've done the obvious and swapped the coil pack with cyl 2 but the misfire didn't follow it. A question... could this behaviour be symptomatic of an injector issue ? Just want to get some advice before I embark on replicating what Charles has done here. Thanks in advance.
I noticed on the removal and subsequent installation of the injectors there's a part from the injector kit missing. It's the round plastic part with legs/arms like a little table. Is it not necessary????
I hope you see this after 4 years but I have a stuck open fuel injector causing fuel leaking into cylinder 4 on my gti. Does it matter if I get 4 new ecs tuning branded fuel injectors instead of OEM??
Hello Charles, my Audi Q3 2020 has super clunky rattlely cold starts, It has been like this since day one, the same goes for my friend with the same car. What cause this? Antipollution strategy?
Hey man your video has been super helpful with my Gf 2.0 TSI Beetle. But I got a question, do I have to worry about “coding” the injector if I’m replacing one? Thanks!
Yeah I was wondering the same thing. When I asked a mechanic for a quote they said they'd have to do this. I went out and bought a VCDS interface but I can't find anywhere to input new injector values and am currently in communicating with their support center to figure out how to get there

Do most of the ea888 gen3 parts also work with the ea888 gen3b? Besides internal head work obviously. I was just curious as I contacted APR and they can't tune the car well with the current mods I've done to it.
This is off topic but since it is your latest video,I am asking it here.You mentioned once about concerns when doing warranty work.I have had pushback from two dealers who were reluctant to do obvious warranty repairs.I know the dealer receives less remuneration for warranty repairs than if the customer pays but does the technician who perrforms the work also receive less money?Thanks in advance.
When I cleaned my intake valves when I removed the intake the injectors all came out easily plus they had a 3 prong plastic clip on the end of them. How come yours didn't? I have a 2013 a4 2.0 should I have resealed mine and what are symptoms I should look for since I didn't?
I just wanted to let you know, that I despise that M10 triple square on the bracket... That is all.
Thank you for another great video!
See that video about "how to remove manifold"
What happens if you don’t put back the bracket??

Place them in warm water for a minute or two before stretching them out.

used during part load running to clean valves and reduce particulate part of Euro 6. Guess VW hasn't learned from diesel gate still penny pinching to the max and cheap as fck in the USA . Someone with time and money should see if their cars infringe in EPA or some sort of law when they offer this in Europe but not in USA.
This plus fck bouracracy and shitty companies giving two fucks about engineering and environmental progress makes me want to have Tesla and electric cars just fully take over and make all gas cars illegal for daily commuter use. VAG should be paying billions and billions more in fines to the US government for being assholes with their shit designs in the last 10 years and dirty cars they keep pushing unto USA dealers
Thanks I just needed the fuel injectors removal tool for my a6
Nice Video Sir, learnt a lot from your videos !
Cheers to you from Mauritius.
Fun fact: a slide hammer is known as a wanker in Norwegian.
really? Oh that is awesome! I am going to try and call it that.
In Germany it´s also called "Wichser", different countries, same thoughts. :-)
Pass the wanker, wanker.
Hello hope you’re fine. I’m from ECUADOR
I have seen some of your videos on RUclips I thing they’re so helpful.
I just have a question I hope you can help me with some tips
I have a 2012 Volkswagen amarok 2.0L TSI , and it is consuming oil , there is no leaks at all but I just realized that from the PCV valve some oil is coming out to the intake manifold and also there is a huge vacuum when a remove the cap from oil engine.
My question is
Is it normal the oil coming out from the PCV and the vacuum?
I hope you can give me some advice about it so I can replace the valve thank you so much.
In México its called "chaqutero" wich means masturbator
Mutli-useful **reference** video. Thank you, Charles!
Wow.. perhaps the best made auto video ever. Thanks!
How does this mechanic stay so calm, so many bolts and even some of them stuck.. Please share your secrets
Slow coming apart helps got back fast. Getting mad at bolts doesn’t make it go faster. Even though I know it, I still struggle with it
Awesome video man, great camera work and very helpful explanations!
Wow this job looks so easy. Thank you for the video. You saved me a lot of money.
Nothing is easy on cars lol
Great info, life saver. Oil catch cans work 10/10 reccomend
Congratulations, you have expertise.
Do you happen to know the maximum flow rate in cc of the injectors shown on the video?
Thank you for being the only mechanic working on these VW's that doesn't speak like like a complete idiot that can't pull their pants up.
HAHA Glad to help/
Nice presentation in simpler way
i like your profesionalism. you should be working on aircraft not cars. we have not many new guys in this field
bas lepo objašnjeno...svaka cast
Can you make a video on carbon buildup clean up step by step for Audi 2.0t🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 and this is one of my fave channels btw keep it up!!!❤️
Check this video out ruclips.net/video/CB5ThYfX7ag/видео.html This might have all you need
Thanks for all your content. Would love to see the equivalent of this video in a mk5 r32... any plans for a MK4 vs Mk5 series?
I just bought a 2018 Golf R and your videos are excellent. I am looking to do the Stage 2 modifications. From your videos I'm thinking with enough confidence, I can do a lot of this myself. What torque wrenches do you use? Thank you again for your videos.
NICE!!! None of the stage 2 stuff is hard, the downpipe will be tricky on jack stands. But. its doable. I have been really liking the gearwrench 120x torque wrenches
@@HumbleMechanic I see you are partial to the IE products. I've been going back and forward with the different manufactures. I've looked at APR, Revo and 034 Motorsports as well. Revo has a Performance Pack that includes everything but the Turbo inlet pipe and the Downpipe. What are your thoughts?
Will this also work for the prior FSI engines?
If you get too much fuel mixing with engine oil, your oil will be thinned out and you could get a bearing knock. Happened to me a few months ago on a new engine rebuild
What if you don't drive the vehicle and you change the oil, does this till stands?
You need to add humble mechanic number plate surrounds to your merch line Charles. They'd look great.
I LIKE IT!!!! Hell I need one for me HAHAH
Did a great job on a VW cc 2.0t motor swap, at the trans shop, work, a while back, ✨😎🔧🏁 except the AC wires share some short on car, 🙄, Anyways, on one now , this Audi A4 2.0t loads of fuel leaking🌊 🚗🧯, and great video here on what the possibility's that could be leaks, good looks , Ciao 🎰💪💚...lol the customer just showed up with some fuel injectors, to choose from lol🤣🔫🎲
Perfect know ima knock mine out cause my epc light keeps coming on and the car goes limp then I have to pull over restart and hope it doesn't come back on😮💨
What's the 3 pronged plastic piece that came off with the metal looking washer on my 2011 a3? Should that be installed? I don't see them in this video.
You need that for your next injectors unless you grab a kit. They help seat/space the injector in the port
Hey man, I’m about to do this job on my gti and I watched your video on removing the manifold, do I need to remove the hardline from the pump before removing the manifold or after?
It takes 1 hour just to get the manifold off,so cleaning all four valves is basically a good 5 or 6 hours then,if we was to use zip ties and carb cleaner,I think I can tackle this job my self
Re the cylinder compression seal on the injector, only the stretch to put it on was shown, there is a secondary compression step, so don't think you can do that without the tool very successfully.
Hi! I just got my first mk7 R. I’m trying to use your videos as references. From your point of view what are some primary mods to start with? And are your videos in a chronological order based on mods you made?
Question; On the gen 2 CDAA 1.8 tsi, can I take the manifold off without removing the fuel rail, and with that, the injectors? I want to do a valve clean but don't want to have to take the injectors out and reseal them. TIA!
Another one good video!! I would like to do things like that in my car but It's a litle dangerous if you don't have practise, anyway I see this kind of jobs and how It goes. Could you tell me if It's a good idea delete the intake flaps??
I don't really see the point of deleting the flaps unless you are planning on legit mods
I'm dealing with replacing the valve cover seal. Yet I'm not able remove the fuel injectors; I noticed you talked about a lock? Are you able to explain more about the lock on the injectors????
I wouldn't need the special tool to reseal the injectors if I just buy brand new injectors correct? I would only need the special tool if I were just trying to clean the old injectors and needed to put them back having to reseal it in that worst case scenario you mentioned of the seal getting seal stuck in the cylinder head right?
Question - what was the point of entirely removing the m10 triple square bolt on the bracket? I feel like you could just get it a bit loose, take the top nut off and that’d give you enough wiggle room to take the manifold off? (Putting the bolt back is quite a task haha)
Any need for resetting injector learned values or a basic setting or does that sort itself out?
Thanks Charles
Nope as I know the only vw needed for the is the common rails
Hi Humble mechanic love your videos .
I have golf 1.4 tsi caxa .misfire on cy 2.
Compression pressure at cyl 2. Is 180psi.
Changed injector,plug,and coil pack. Checked wires coming to injectors, they seamed fine .
Still missing at no. 2.
Swopped plug and coil from 1 to 2 .still misfire at cyl 2.
Any thoughts? Please.
Hello, congratulations for your videos, treated in detail. Where can I find these spare parts online?
Good job, so what about programing a new injectors with scanner tools ?
not needed on this engine
One thing I never really figured out. What is the metal cage for? When I first did one of these what back when, I forgot to reinstall those. No VW were harmed during the committing of my egregious error.
I also noticed Gen 3’s do not use the plastic spacer on the bottom.
Turbo inlet pipes (charge pipes)? iknow you did IE intercooler and elbow etc etc would love to see an inlet pipe video :D
ALL THE PIPES!! LOL I like it
Thank you for this video, I really appreciate the info
Hi was hoping to get your opinion on piggyback ECUs for the golf r like the JB4 I’ve been thinking about one for a bit of a performance boost with less risk of voided warranty issues, cheers mate really enjoy your videos 👍👍👍🍻
Great video. Gave me the courage to clean my injectors on SQ5. Having real trouble re-seating though. Followed your instructions but 3 out of 6 just won't go in no matter what. "Gently pushing into place" simply doesn't work. Any suggestions?
what do you end up doing?
@@sshmunk The o-rings that are pressed onto the injectors expand after being pressed on, so I took it back to the shop that pressed them on and they redid them. I put them straight in after that with no problems. So once you have the o-rings sealed onto injectors, make sure you install them right after and don't wait days later like I did.
Thank you I know how to fix this vw turbo know I can't thank you enough
How do I check which engine version my Audi A4 2013 Quattro has? I think it's a GEN II
this type of engine remind me with an aircraft engine maintenance
I did this and my car won’t start now. You can hear it trying to start. I verified and there’s no a fuel leak and all connectors are plugged in. Any idea on what to look for to find out the issue?
I'm literally having the same exact issue except I replaced my Intake manifold.None of the injectors came out with the manifold..Somehow It seems as if there's a fuel delivery issue.Any luck finding out what's going on?
Nice DIY , i have actually GOLF 7GTI whit Bosh injector , 7.5 GTI have more reliable Continental one , do they fit to 7GTI ?
Ooo lol just watched this bit commented in your last video about a catch can 🤣 cant wait!
I’m shocked just how much build up this engine has got from just around 10k mileage.. I’ve just hit 11k on my Gen3.. though my Cupra 290 has been sitting for the last three weeks.. yay to isolation.
Hey Charles, would you say it’s a good opportunity to change the oil cooler when replacing injectors? Seems to be accessible during this procedure. Asking for a gti at 80k miles
Hi buddy could you do a video on the second set of injectors?
I’ve smelled fuel the last few days and finally noticed a mist of fuel where the injector meets the fuel rail. I’m not getting any CEL’s though. And do I need to replace the injector or just the seal? I don’t see how the fuel rail could be bad.
I have Tiguan with 2.0 TFSI engine. Driving on highway injector blow up and got stuck in open position. Drove home for about 10 minutes, had some white smoke coming out exhaust.
My question is, how likely that there is catalytic converter damage from fuel coming out and should change engine oil as well?
Thanks
My 2012 Golf R has around 120,000+ miles on it now, and I'm unaware of any service done of a full carbon clean. Im also aware that the PCV diaphragm tends to rupture or tear after many miles. Is it smart to invest in like a Racingline catch can where they replace the PCV? (Well, part of it, only for the EA113, the EA888 gets a totally replaces PCV from racingline). I take this car to the track and do spend a lot of time in the higher RPM range and have heard of that PCV oil blow-by that some Mk7's are known to have while on track days.
I’ve been getting random misfires on cylinder 2 on my Mk7 gti, I changed spark plugs and coil packs too. Do you think cleaning my fuel injectors would help stopping the misfires?
Hi I've got the exact issue, cylinder 2...
Did u resolve yes, I've changed coil n plugs, still no luck
@@rajamin1986 yes sir, I needed to replace a fuel injector. You should go to a vw specialist shop and do a compression test on your cylinders to confirm the issue.
Hello Charles. This is unrelated to this video but I'm wondering if you know if it's possible to check to see if my car has been tuned using vcds. If so do you have a video available?
Hi Charles,
It's the only wideo where intake manifold was removed before removal of fuel rail. Does it depend on engine code? Is it possible to remove intake manifold without touching fuel rail on 2.0 CPMB (Audi)?
Charlesssss. Autozone rents out the VW fuel injector puller/installer kit (seal kit) for free. :) It’s specifically for vw/audi
That’s awesome. I didn’t realize they had it.
Hello. Do you have a video on how to use the injector tool to replace the seals?
Great video! Would new replacement injectors require any kind of programming?
Not on this engine
Awesome, thanks again 👌
I'm replacing the fuel injectors for rough idling engine while still. RPM's bounces around until you start moving. Only happens with first startup of the day. How do you know if you need to have your manifold media blasted once it's out as well?
If I am buying new injectors do I need to reseal them????
Most of these come with new seals
Is this the same procedure for the earlier EA113 FSI? Trying to replace my injectors soon in my Mk6 R.
Just finished doing a lot of work on my 1.4TSI CAXA engine - new timing chain, VVTi pulley, intake camshaft, oil pump, VVTi solenoid, cam sensor and spark plugs. The engine has a high misfire count [around 100] on cylinder 3 only when cold but the count doesn't rise when it gets to temperature. I've done the obvious and swapped the coil pack with cyl 2 but the misfire didn't follow it. A question... could this behaviour be symptomatic of an injector issue ? Just want to get some advice before I embark on replicating what Charles has done here. Thanks in advance.
Brilliant tutorial. Subscribed.
I noticed on the removal and subsequent installation of the injectors there's a part from the injector kit missing. It's the round plastic part with legs/arms like a little table. Is it not necessary????
I hope you see this after 4 years but I have a stuck open fuel injector causing fuel leaking into cylinder 4 on my gti. Does it matter if I get 4 new ecs tuning branded fuel injectors instead of OEM??
So if I'm replacing all the injectors with brand new ones do I still need the tool to reseal them?
any injector coding required?
Not on this one
Hello Charles, my Audi Q3 2020 has super clunky rattlely cold starts, It has been like this since day one, the same goes for my friend with the same car. What cause this? Antipollution strategy?
Great video. Thank you so much!
Hey man your video has been super helpful with my Gf 2.0 TSI Beetle. But I got a question, do I have to worry about “coding” the injector if I’m replacing one? Thanks!
Yeah I was wondering the same thing. When I asked a mechanic for a quote they said they'd have to do this. I went out and bought a VCDS interface but I can't find anywhere to input new injector values and am currently in communicating with their support center to figure out how to get there
@@joshshields9155 I went ahead and put the new injector in. I didn’t do any coding or anything. Car is fixed now.
@@SantiagoGarcia-yt8ww any issues?

Question have a customer that her husband replaced the injectors and now it won’t start any suggestions as to where to begin the trouble shooting?
Do most of the ea888 gen3 parts also work with the ea888 gen3b? Besides internal head work obviously. I was just curious as I contacted APR and they can't tune the car well with the current mods I've done to it.
This is off topic but since it is your latest video,I am asking it here.You mentioned once about concerns when doing warranty work.I have had pushback from two dealers who were reluctant to do obvious warranty repairs.I know the dealer receives less remuneration for warranty repairs than if the customer pays but does the technician who perrforms the work also receive less money?Thanks in advance.
When I cleaned my intake valves when I removed the intake the injectors all came out easily plus they had a 3 prong plastic clip on the end of them. How come yours didn't? I have a 2013 a4 2.0 should I have resealed mine and what are symptoms I should look for since I didn't?
Will this work for a VW vr6 4motion 2013?
