Subject:Injectors - replace or keep? Rusty Bolts
From:robertmstewart

Hello and happy Friday to all,

I have a question regarding injectors. I recently had my van in at 2
different shops, one a vw shop the other a non vw shop.

The Non-Vw shop told me I need to replace the injectors and the clamps as
they were rusty. (I  drove over the vw shop to hear their opinion)

The VW shop owner who is a past VW dealer repair head mechanic told me not
to worry about, they clamps are a bit rusty but them have been holding an
injectors are working fine so don�t mess with it. Yes he told me the clamps
should be replaced eventually but it was not urgent.

What�s your take?

New injectors and clamps or just new clamps?

The looked at the injectors and the sides of them where the ring is, is
definitely deteriorating a bit but them seem solid.

I was going to purchase some used injectors off the samba that are in good
shape. 

Your thoughts?

Also how do I get a bolt off that is totally rusted? I was trying to put on
new fiberglass bumper supports and the metal support has a single bolt that
is rusted tight!
