Last summer I had gotten a set of four GTD nozzles from kermatdi to install in my 1.6L NA diesel Rabbit. I had sent them off to Duane to be installed in injectors and pop tested.
Well, I finally got around to installing the injectors recently and everything seemed to go smoothly with removing the old injectors and installing the new ones. (My procedure was loosen the nuts on the pump end, loosen the nuts on the injector end, remove injector lines, then remove the injectors. Installation was reverse of removal.) However, once I had tightened everything back up there was diesel bubbling from the #4 injector (third injector when counting from the timing belt side of the engine and moving to the right). I loosened everything and tightened it up again, but the injector still leaked. I tightened the nuts on the steel injector lines until I could feel they wouldn't tighten anymore and didn't try to get a lot of torquing or levering when tightening them.
So, I ordered new steel injector lines (thinking maybe the original injector lines were worn out). After installing the new injector lines #2 and #4 are still leaking fuel out of the junction between the injector and the steel line now. I've loosened and re-tightened them several times with no change.
What am I missing here? Is there some sort of gasket or seal I'm supposed to be installing to help the nut seal? Could it be that the GTD nozzle pops at too high of a pressure for the stock steel lines? I've done an injector swap on my 98 Jetta and everything went back together without a problem, so I wasn't expecting to run into any problems on my Rabbit, but I can't seem to get the steel lines to seal onto the injectors. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
