Brilliant! I'm not planning on doing this myself, but my car is in the shop and is having new/refurbished injectors fitted and it's nice to be able to see exactly what they're talking about!

Good times as always!

Thank you for making these videos, they are so helpful.

That video was so informative. I never knew that the new style "direct injection" injectors had to use a special tool to seat the new seals. This kind of sponsored tools is great because u wouldnt want to take on a job that requires you to remove the injectors and not be able to get them back in correctly. Also you guys did a great job explaining and showing all the pieces in the kit and how to use it. Great job!

Love the straight forward info. Thank you! Curious.. since you can manually push the injector in.. I removed my intake mani AND all the injectors, one straight pull.. Is that OK?? Could you cover that in your notes? Question on TOOLING.. is there any kit out there which can be used to form the seal? I didnt wanna drop 100$+ for that.. it is a one time use tool.. there's gotta be a cheaper way!

Great video, extremely helpful.

I had repeated failure of the blue seal on one injector on my V12 direct injection BMW. It was only when it got a new fuel rail that the problem was fixed. Basically it would run for about 10 hours and then fail with huge gas smells. I was surprised it never blew up. Have you ever seen the blue seals fail? Lucky for me my warranty covered all the costs which ran into many thousands.

Thank you for your Great tips.

I have a Nissan straight 6 1978 and was wondering what the correct size of seals to get?

Hi Charles! I'm currently working on my car inspired on the great work you guys always do. I'm at the point where I need to push in new Bosch injectors (with new seals) but it was really hard to make the first one go in and decided not to force it. I can tell the Teflon seal rotates quite freely on all of them. Is it normal to need much push force to pop them in and would you know if Teflon seal is normal to rotate "so" freely? Very appreciate all your hard work and any comement. Omar

Question: Does the 2007 Audi Q7 3.6L V6 with FSI have just 4 fuel injectors or are there 6 fuel injectors on the vehicle's engine ?

Do you have to recode when only changing seals

@HumbleMechanic thanks for all your helpful videos! FYI the white split washer lookin thing is called a backup ring, these are commonly used in combination with an O-ring to prevent the O-ring from squeezing itself between the groove and mating seal surface ID. Backup rings can also promote the O-ring to seal better on the pressure side of the groove. Exciting stuff!

Great and interesting video guys very detailed. My question is if I'm replacing the fuel injectors on a 12 valve VR6 and they already come with o-rings on them I don't have to shrink them do I? I should be able to just remove the old ones off and install the new ones on right?

Thanks for sharing

So if the injectors come out easily, does that mean that the seals were probably no good? I did a valve cleaning and didn't realize you needed a tool to get it out. They actually popped right out without trying.

Will this kit work for the 3.0L TFSI injectors (06E906036AL) as well? I'm having a hard time finding a kit that lists these injectors or the vehicles with the 3.0L, and they don't have the little protrusion on the tip.

Do all 2.0 TSI’s use the plastic pizza box spacers? I think my 2010 Tiguan 2.0 TSI has been apart before. Non of the injectors had the pizza box spacers installed and one injector didn’t have the metal cage on the inlet side. I ordered four new injectors and a seal kit that includes the metal cage.

So, only usin 2 of the sizing dies? Or does that depend on the model/ Im working on a 06 A6 3.2 FSI. Thanks for the vid!

Hey guys, here's a good tip. Genuine Audi injector repair kit costs about $30, as you know. But here's a kicker; Genuine Hyundai injector repair kit (35312 2G730) is the exactly identical one. O-ring size is same, nylon seal has the same size. In Korea this Hyundai kit only costs $2!!! COSTS 1/15 OF AUDI ONE LOL. In US, it costs more than $2, but other countries may have different story. Just FYI!

I'm doing a PCV body replacement an managed to get both fuel rails off without removing injectors. I ports are major carbed up but I don't even want to tackle that job. I was going to try and scrap off some of the built up carbon on the valves put notice the ports were not all the way closed. Didn't want risk knocking stuff of in them, so as I bad I would like to clean, I'm not. However, since since all the injectors stayed in I assume I only replaced the rail o-ring? I was hoping not to replace any, b/c those kits are like $11 each x6. but looks like I'm not replacing at least the top part. Oh well.

Is it on to add a little silicon grease to facilitate the install of the white seal? I’m having a heck of a time installing it

Pro Tip: Install the compression seal as far onto the cone as you can, then use the sleeve to push it onto the injector. Helps keep the seal from going sideways in the sleeve and possibly cutting or damaging it. Speaking from experience... Ruined 3 seals the first time I attempted this.

Also I have seen a Bosch bulletin that recommends using a non-silicone lubricant on the fuel rail side seals/O-rings, has that recommendation been superseded?

i would really like to see a low compression concern, caused by a weak injector seal. A lot of service manuals will not even have that written in there flow charts of things that cause low compression. Out of the 100 injectors jobs i've done, i've been guilty of reusing all the injector seals, with no lube, only blowing the hole and wiping the injectors tips with a rag. Never had a issue. fortunately most GM's I work on have 2 Teflon seals on the tips as double precaution but still are supposed to be replaced per liability reasons.

Having a gauge needle that moves erratically is common among all cars, but I suggest you get advice from VW specialists first. You don't have to buy a new cluster, most are rebuildable. Auto dealers usually don't sell rebuilt clusters, only new ones that cost a fortune. Also, using a cluster from a junkyard may not be a good idea, because some clusters have to be programmed to match the car. Search online for companies that rebuild clusters after you get advice from VW specialists.
