AUM / AGU Inlet Manifold

[number1bassman]

Hi Hulmie,

Cheers for your quick response.

I am running a boost pressure sensor in the intercooler.  I don't have a problem re-pinning an ECU to remove it though!

I don't suppose anyone has any pictures of the injectors in situ?  I can't tell if the ones I have are AUM or AGU, is there a quick way?

But I think a trip to R-Tech is a good idea.  Do you have any idea how much they might charge me just to sort it out?  I don't want it re-mapped to go faster, standard would be fine!

AGU on the right, AUM on the left.

im not sure if you would be able to see the part number on the side of the injector. if you could get this then im sure someone could check etka and tell you which ones you have.

Not sure what they would charge mate, best to call them and speak with them about it.

typical rusty agu on the right

Thanks guys, they look really different.

I think I could tell which ones I've got just by looking under the bonnet thanks to that picture.

I've just sent an enquiry on the R-Tech website and will probably give them a call tomorrow and beg for help.  

Thanks again for your help and I'll keep you posted.  

Would I be right in thinking the AGU injectors flow more than the AUM or vice-versus? They're much bigger, but then, size isn't everything!

bigger doesnt always mean better 

sorry had to be said

Good one Tech, you took the words right out of my mouth!

Okay, so I spoke to Jim at R-Tech, and he reckons the best thing to do is get the AUM injectors and fit them in somehow.  He said it'll be cheaper than doing a diagnostic on it and re-mapping it to cater for the injectors.

So, does anyone have any AUM injectors lying around they no longer require? 

Standard if possible as I'm not trying to make a flyer, just a nice reliable (fairly) MKIV Golf.

I've just taken a look and reckon I could somehow get them to fit!  Or, has anyone done this already and got any tips?

Cheers guys, hopefully, I'll have a decent car someday that goes as it should!

You would need to get new injector seats from VW aswell and also space the manifold some how.

Cheers Hulmie, after rummaging around on uk-mkiv and clubgti,they said the injectors fit in the seats but the rail is obviously too high so the posts need chopping down.

I am going to have a go at this as I have no money left to pay for a re-map.  Or, would an AUM fuel rail fit straight on?

I am quite prepared to pass my injectors on or swap them once this is sorted, so if anyone has some AUM injectors and a rail they don't want, I'll fit them to mine and send you the old ones back?

Will ask Jordy if he's got any lying around too!
