If the readings are off most of the time it's the multimeter which isn't well calibrated. I had the same issue with "electric guitar pickups" and reading out of specs values all the time, until I trashed the multimeter and finally bought a professional one ... not even that darn expensive at all, and a lot more range in most options ... great for everything from house to electronics etc, and car repair.
One question bud, I did mine as per your video, but I did notice the original filter is a good bit longer than the replacement filter, so much so that when the original filter is tapped into place the plastic bottom of it rests on 4 tiny feet on top of the bed were it seats into. The new filter once tapped into place does not rest on the bottom of its seated position and leaves a gap. I'm asking as I'm wondering will the 100psi in the fuel rail not pop of the bottom of the new filters now as there a little shorter and have that gap at the bottom where as the new ones were supported as they sat flat on the bottom?
I've been told never to sink the injectors in a water solution if you are gonnas ultrasonically clean them, I was told to use a mix of gasoline and thinner, ideally I'd have power to them to keep them open and a hose connected sucking the cleaning fluid backwards through them as the ultrasonic cleaner did it's work.
To remove the internal filter/screens I used a shorter screw. I tried a couple lengths to determine the length needed so the underside of the screw head contacts the top metal sleeve or cylinder of the injector then it acts like a hub puller and pulls the screw out by simply turning a screw driver. In my case, the screw only went maybe 1/8" into the screen until the back of the screw head contacted the top of the metal cylinder and then pulled the screen out without a vise or much effort. Try it.
thanks for video, I'm about doing the same on my MX 5 Miata and way more confident after seeing you making the job...looks pretty straight forward. Greetings from Belgium
I'm not sure I understand. Technically, you could... It won't hurt them. I just did another set of eight last week... I took the screens out and then cleaned them 3 or 4 times. Then reassembled them. Works great every time!
Hey I just had a thought... maybe they can be pressed out by putting a metal cylinder around the screw (the same diameter as the filter) so as you screw in the screw it presses out... hmmmm...
2 Comments, 1) Hot readings will be a bit higher as resistance goes up with Heat. 2) I would consider a better quality DMM. I use one of these to lend to a pesky salesman in my dealership. For $3 keeps him from abusing my Real Meter. The Low OHM reading are inconsistent with that meter but for 3 bucks I suppose one could argue its a Great Value.
Hi there Petal to the Metal, my injectors look just like what you have in this video. 8 have 8 of them though, so am I believing that if I follow the same process (minus the ultronic cleaner) that I will have much better performance in my car? Thank You ever so much for this video walkthrough.
sorry I'm just now seeing your Q. I used jewelry cleaner that is meant for ultrasonic cleaners as well as a drop of dish soap, if I remember correctly. Thanks for watching!
Hello and thanks for the video.i have these same injectors on my golf and I can't find this kit can you help me out with a link or some local store I live in Los Angeles CA
Bro, touching the new screen filter with your grubby fingers and the bench then putting it in the injector, that was more junk then what's gonna get past your actual fuel filter and the fuel lines
Hello: Good Q; my car's original injectors from 1990 did not have them on from new (and I have tried to snap other caps on in the past and there does not seem to be a ring grooved into them for the pintle caps); so I left them off. Thanks for the Q and for watching!
Ha ha.. If you use your wife's ultrasonic cleaner.. You can actually place your part in a container filled with whatever cleaner you want to use.. Then place your container of parts in the ultrasonic cleaner and fill the machine with water. The waves will pass through the container holding your greasy parts and clean them, without contaminating the water.
"My wife would've freaked if she knew what I was putting in there but she never asked so I never said nothing" 🤣🤣🤣 right on

Dishwashers are amazing machines also, especially if you have the house to yourself a while.

Literly just googled Bosch injector rebuild after order the kit to do my g60 .... thank you
Cool; thank you for watching!
I have an few other g60 videos as well.

I bought another kit for another car and it came with a "free" puller tool. It works great.

The background makes me feel like I'm watching an automotive AVE video
Would it have been better to put them through the ultrasonic cleaner to start with? Just curious..
I'm not sure I understand. Technically, you could... It won't hurt them. I just did another set of eight last week... I took the screens out and then cleaned them 3 or 4 times. Then reassembled them. Works great every time!
Thanks for the vid. screw to pull out filter is genius.
nice video. just wanted to ask, what did you use in the ultrasonic cleaner? I saw some soap bubbles - just a little dish soap? or something else?
Thank you; the solution was some jewelry cleaner stuff my wife had on hand for the cleaner. Thanks for watching!
Hey I just had a thought... maybe they can be pressed out by putting a metal cylinder around the screw (the same diameter as the filter) so as you screw in the screw it presses out... hmmmm...
I meant to say slightly larger in diameter as the filter so the filter will lift out inside the tube
Thank you for the education 🙂Highly appreciated.

These are low ohm injectors

Yes, by removing the old dirty filter screens, in theory your car should run better. Thanks for watching!
Awesome cleaning on the spark plug but as always good video ;-)
Great video! Was entertaining to watch
Thanks for the video!!!!
What kind of cleaning solution did you use in the ultrasonic cleaner?

Great idea! Thanks!
Hello and thanks for the video.i have these same injectors on my golf and I can't find this kit can you help me out with a link or some local store I live in Los Angeles CA
Sorry... I just now found your Q. I would look ebay; that's where I buy all my injector rebuild kits from. There's different sellers and prices vary.
Bro, touching the new screen filter with your grubby fingers and the bench then putting it in the injector, that was more junk then what's gonna get past your actual fuel filter and the fuel lines
Lol... I think not
Does refurbished injectors really work?
Of course
Bosch or vdo injectors in vag cars like closed valve with leak clean not help its like 1 time use for 200 000 km example
how come you left off the pintle caps ?
Hello: Good Q; my car's original injectors from 1990 did not have them on from new (and I have tried to snap other caps on in the past and there does not seem to be a ring grooved into them for the pintle caps); so I left them off. Thanks for the Q and for watching!

So very true... But even a mild jewelry cleaner with tap water works great. I just did my fifth set recently in it. But your tip is also good!
Wife’s going to be mad ;) lol
Yea, she got pissed before when I used her cleaner for small car parts. lol
