Title: Injectors leaking need help
Post by: BruceM31 on February 23, 2007, 07:46:22 am

My injectors are leaking and its annoying me. i just rebuilt the engine maybe 1500 miles ago and everything is clean and repainted and looks very pretty.  My injectors are making a mess on my block and now dust is collecting making it dirty!!!!  

If anyone has a good solution to this problem please let me know.  They are not leaking where they screw into the head, but the next peice up.  All my return hoses are new.

Thanks!

Did you have the injectors rebuilt??? If not thats what i would spend money on!! or at least have them looked at by a shop!!!

no the injectors are used, i bought the truck and it came with 2 complete spare n/a motors. i used the best looking four.  My father and i own an import garage and specialize in vw's. he says i should buy new bottom halfs but i don't want to spend the money, curious if there is a quick fix or a cheater fix that could save some $$$.  But if there isn't i'm gonna get bigger injectors i think.

thanks for the tip on getting them to seal better.  i'm definetly gonna get new nozzels and do what you said with lapping the mating surface, i think that will work well
