While buttoning up the car after a day of maintenance (PCV system, thermostat, flush, and phenolic spacer) I was installing the injectors. The third one I heard a snap and thought that was too easy. The plastic bung fell apart. It was so dried up it was actually easy to get out. I'm using a pick tool to clean up the remnants but how do you reseat a new one?

Just in case I did buy one so at least I don't have to wait to get a replacement.

19mm+ Hex. The Audi one on the left is $40 or so, the VW one on the right about $3. If you go with window number 2 you'll have to replace all 4 as the depth is slightly different as you can see....

Thanks Steve, got it. I was afraid it needed some special "Audi adhesive". Don't have a 19mm hex but I do have a 19mm back end of a screwdriver! Glad I ordered one and extra "o" rings.

Don't mind helping out the kids but I wish one would give me back a car I could use as a daily driver.

Every piece of plastic and rubber under the hood is falling apart. It's only June and the temp is 98.9 so I'm not surprised.

Vac hoses, plastics, wiring harnesses, PCV systems etc...

This is the first I've heard of Injector seats disintergrating though..Sounds like you got it covered!

7 years of Florida and south Texas heat will do it. I have one more to seat and I'm going easy on this one.
