Title: 16v Gti Lower Intake Manifold Injector insert thingys???
Post by: 16v Matt on 02 April 2007, 14:01

Hi guys, hope you can help :undecided:

Got my engine out & in bits at the mo for clenaing painting, blah, blah, blah.   Just about send the upper & lower intake manifolds off to the powdercoaters & I could do with removing the plastic inserts the injectors push into.  I can prob get them out but they are very fragile & already breaking up, what i don't want to do is destroy them, getting them out & not be able to get any more. I've been to the stealers but they were'nt obvious on ETKA.  I Guess what I'm asking is.  Is there a knack to removing them & does anyone know if they are still available?  If so what are they called or even better a part number :laugh:


Thanks in anvance,

Matt.

Matt, the brass insert the other side of the bakelite 'thingy' can be removed with an allen key. The bakelite insert then taps out, and the billy bonus is that the part no is on it!!

Brass against aluminium can be a git, try some WD40, leave it for a while and try again.
