injection line repair
« on: January 31, 2007, 04:45:25 am »
last summer i made a pop tester with what i thought was one line of my spare injector lines, turns out i used one of my tdi ones!! will a brass compression fitting hold up to injection pressures for a while? i don't want to have to do this but $.50 sounds alot better than $108.00 for one stupid line!!! or better yet anyone know any cheap source for tdi hard lines? i don't understand why some sell idi lines for 10$ but no tdi ones?

I wouldn't risk it if I were you. Even if it did (which I doubt it would) hold up in the short term it probably wouldn't in the long term. Not to mention the fuel lines are tuned length and to mess with the length will mess with the injection advance. See if you can't search out a used one.
