I don't remember any replies mentioning the injector test that's in the Bentley Book. Pretty simple to remove the injector rails and have a look at their spray patterns. You might want to get 4 injector O-rings first. If they aren't good, send them off to Cruzin for a thorough test/clean/test procedure or put them through the ultrasonic cleaner at work... ;) Seeya, Jake On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 7:38 PM, T-rev Reynolds <gneiss9@gmail.com> wrote: > I recently had a "VW Mechanic" tell me that when he listened to my engine > he didn't hear the familiar "whine" of the injectors doing their thing; He > suggested that I have a injector flush to maximize fuel economy.
