you have no idea about cars at all.... loving the way you describe things!!!

but straight away I guessed your talking about the injector seals..... I went to vw and they gave me some but they didn't fit and I put a lot of force into them to push them in but no joy so used the old ones again....

there are 8 o rings in total so it might be worth doing them all whilst you got the injectors out

oh and use a how to from here as you will need to release the pressure from the "silver coloured chamber" so petrol doesn't shoot out from "between the upper half and lower half of the intake manifold" lol (fuel rail and injectors lol)

Nah, don't think it's the injector seals... 4 seals between two halves, silver bit (!) and black plastic bit that the throttle body bolts to? Six quid each from vw.
Waiting for manual to see what bits are called... Last car was an imprezza, so no used to cars breaking down!! :wink:
No tooo bad wi cars - built a locust type car from scratch wi a gsxr 11 engine - carbs - nice and simple!
Totally sh!t wi computers though, hence no photo's!

Seals on, cured erratic tick over. Throttle still sticking on for a second after taking foot off though...
