changing injectors..with the intake manifold still on

[flyingbrick]

is it possable? any tips......i really dont want to remove the manifold.....

[Jordan]

sure it is. unbolt the fuel rail (4 1mm bolts) and wiggle it up and out.

[Kavkazia]

Yes, its possible and do as Jordan said but make sure you put new rubber seals.

[diegom6]

yeah I did in mine, takes few minutes....it's easy but but not so nice to do...little fight should have when you try to put them back...

[mspiegle]

where do you buy seals and caps for injectors?

[rs4pro3]

Dealer, but the seals where $50 for all 13 last time I buaght some. You can also go down to the local hardware store and buy the correct sized O-rings. As for the caps You can remove the seals without removing the caps just make sure not to damage the seal. But the dealer should have the caps.

[flyingbrick]

i think you guys are crazy.....but im trying it anyways...

[rward325]

I just had to do it to replace an injector. It is exactly as Jordan describes it. You have to realise that the injector seals are as old as your car though and probably brittle. The possibility of damaging one or more is real.

[flyingbrick]

im replacing all of them so i dont have to worry about messing up the removed ones right??

[Jordan]

You can also go down to the local hardware store and buy the correct sized O-rings.

I would advise against that. Chances are those hardware store o-rings are not made of fuel grade rubber. Normal rubber will get soft, and swell... followed by just about disolving if exposed to gasoline for a prolonged period of time.

[rs4pro3]

YA that is why I buaght them brand new at the dealer.

[bkelsey86]

man go to the auto parts store i bought new seals and caps all 6 for like less then 10 dollars

Do as bkelsey86 said. Remember, since we have the same as fords, you can also get ford pieces for the injectors. Or if you want, Volvo, or mercedes, or anything with that style injector. LIke my injectors, i dont know what they are for, I took the chance in that they kinda looked like ours, and they work! they are 15ish ohms 32lb/hr, and I paid less than Ireland engineering wants for their "hi flow" injectors (probably 19 or 21lb/hr) . The only bad thing about mine are they are a single pintle design, an M50 injectors have 4, which atomize the fuel a lot better. But i need more flow than 21.5lb/hr.
