No, they don't need much. But for the price, I would have bought VAG ones. In fact, writing this down has just reminded me. I have! :laugh: Just go to go and pick them up. :smiley:

As DPB said, the injectors are push fit. They are not involved during the combustion stroke - just when the piston is moving downwards - so it pulls the injector in anyway.

I would still replace the seals with VAG ones, you don't want them too loose a fit.
