2.0 tsi injector stuck open

Post by Gavinc80 »

Just wanted to ask everyones advice, I'm about to have a new injector put in as number 4 looks like it's stuck open, does everyone have the whole lot changed or just the one that's gone?

Thanks.

Personally, I would just replace the one faulty injector.

What was the symptoms driving? Just curious as garages usually start with the cheapest thing to repair first as its a process of elimination.
I'm going through it just sadly

I had the same!

You'll need to do an oil change as you have loads of petrol in you oil sump too!

Change the injector and make sure you get the baskets(injector seals and basket kit) to fit it too

You make smell unburnt petrol in your exhaust too
