Who has a socket that will work on the 1.9td injector they want to loan me, or knows where they can get one that works for sure. I will buy it.
I just recently purchased this socket from Snap-On.
http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=68171&group_ID=1326 I can't vouch for it yet (I'm replacing my injectors this coming weekend). I purchased it for 1.6 N/A injectors and don't know how it would work on 1.9td injectors. But, it's very long and was designed specifically for VW diesel injectors. Hope this helps.

I'll try mine on a 1.9td injector and if it works I'll ship it to you. It'll take 2 weeks to get there though. It's from canadian tire so you can't get it down there

Hey Tyler and Bryan,
any luck on the 1.9 injectors? Some that I checked would have worked for sure on the 1.6, but were just to damn short for the 1.9. I would like to get these off so I can bring them down and have a set of these suppossed super nozzles put in. Will have more info on those tomorrow.
Thanks,, Jim

Can you weld? You could buy 2 sockets, cut one in half and weld it onto the other one.
That would fit for sure! I dont know how to weld, but I'm not afraid to put the juice and molten metal to it. I would just need a welder

have access to a lathe? I just got the deepest socket I could and bored out the inside of the socket at the back untill it fit over the injector.

Sorry. I don't have access to any 1.9 injectors to check it out for you.

AH HA! There is more than one way to skin a cat. After repeated attempts to find a socket deep enough to remove my 1.9td injector bodies I had almost given up.
:idea: What if I unsrew the top half first :shock: :?:
Jezz freakin louise it came right off. Look at that little 27mm piece that is left over. Oh my, my normal socket slips right on! Yeah baby!!!
Done!!

I got my socket from Sears... came in a set of 12pt deep sockets. Only bent one of the return barbs a little.

I checked all the parts stores etc up here except for sears. No one had anything. You could remove the pump and use a wrench if you get desprite. That's how I did it on my 1.6 the first time around.
I was going to offer to buy regular deep sockets and have one of my machinist buddies bore them out for you, but I won't be able to do it for less the $10
