i wouldnt bother getting crusty old k-jet injectors cleaned, when you hav pay £50 more and get a set of new ones!
1st seller is a bit of a gimp since no corrados ever made used those injectors  :rolleyes:

Are the new ones the same design or better? If the same then I'd save that £50 personally! Thats approx 11gallons of shells finest that'd get me about 275 miles!  :grin:

From my own experience I bought a brand new injector from Euro Car Parts as they're Bosch and cheaper than VW ones. :smiley:

well i dont know what it is about 16vs in particular, but they're usually really rusty for a start. Plus not all cleaning places can actually do k-jet ones, often it was gonna cost me extra!
If you want k-jet ones the cheapest ones you'll get are them, brass ones from ebay, not found em for any less anywhere.  Shame hes put the price up so much, I got a full set o them brass ones for £50 delivered a while ago :(

I bought these exact ones and they're wicked. For such a small cost saving, I wouldn't get them cleaned, and mine we're very rusty anyway.
