Can't Get Injectors In - Eddleston - 26-03-2015
Is there a certain thing or process I need to do with the injectors? I cannot get them back in the manifold no matter how hard I push.
I literally don't understand.

What engine is this? Rallye as per your profile?
Maybe a spray of wd40 to help them slide in.
They are a lady garden to do

Thanks Paul, I'll have a go. If I know they're a problem I'll struggle on.

wd40 will swell the seals making it harder
just us a bit of spit on the ring and push

Ah right that would explain my previous problems trying to install injectors
RE: Can't Get Injectors In - welshpug - 27-03-2015
just a tiny smear of grease, never had issue getting them back in.
RE: Can't Get Injectors In - Niall - 28-03-2015
As Mei says, tiny smear of grease and if they won't just push straight in, you should be able to rotate them whilst pushing to wiggle them in.

Also be careful that the fuel rail is seated on the top of them properly before tightening down otherwise it will pinch a seal and split it.

Cheers guys, the smear of grease did the job perfectly. Just found the bloody metal clips though, got to work out where they went now!
RE: Can't Get Injectors In - RetroPug - 28-03-2015
Once you put the fuel rail on they go on the top of the injectors and the metal cups on the bottom of the fuel rail. They should just click on, if you have to force them on you're not putting them on the right way. Have a search on the gti6 forum people have uploaded photographs of them fitted correctly I seem to remember.

Standard grease will eat rubber by the way. If you use any grease use red rubber grease, although its expensive so maybe just some spit!

I got a 500g tub of rrg about £8 I didn't want to buy as only needed abit but its good for slides and calipers so worth buying in the end
RE: Can't Get Injectors In - Eddleston - 29-03-2015
I rebuilt the whole lot from the fuel rail down, so the clips are on correctly, they just don't quite seem to sit too well in the manifold now but I'll see what happens there in due course.
