It was the fuel hose leading to the injector.  If you look at the bottom
picture at http://www.csp-dev.com/vw/fi1.html you'll see how the hose
connects. I had no idea how to remove this hose even if I could at the time
of failure. The easiest option was to replace it with a working spare that I
had in my parts bag.  Ken at Vanagain  shows how to remove and replace this
hose is his YouTube video. And no, a 3 year old fuel injector hose should
not have failed.

Thanks,
Bryan

FI Source

I haven't read the entire thread, but could a fault (intermittent
short?) in the harness cause a FI to fail? Like the short could fry
the windings in the FI?

Not to say that there wasn't a QC issue with the FI. Just a "heads up"
question of sorts.
