Subject:Re: Injector Color Codes, Yellow for 2.1

According to the VW Vanagon FI service manual, yellow is correct for 2.1

a scan of the page is here:
http://www.californiavan.com/Manuals/Digijet/vanagonDigijetP56.pdf

Blue injectors are for AFC systems (air cooled vanagon and late buses with FI)
Yellow (gold?) injectors are for Digijet/Digifant engines (1.9 and 2.1)
