Have just done the whole soft fuel system soup to nuts and I am buttoning up the engine compartment. I went to remount the MPS and the service port on the fuel rail is hitting the MPS body dead center.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i723.photobucket.com-14731-1494188982.1.jpg) The fuel elbows to the injectors are new and not as pliable as the originals, though a fair bit shorter so any interference should have been less than with the originals. Any one else run into this? Tilting the rail forward or back does not seem to help much as this port hits right in the widest portion of the MPS. Now I know why them MPS only had the top bolt properly installed and sheet metal screws in the bottom two holes. |

With a couple of wire ties around the intake runners and the fuel rail you can gently pull the fuel rail toward the intake runners and away from the MPS. Watch the injector elbows, you don't want to kink the hose and you don't want too much tension on the injectors.

Not too much give on the relatively short, and stiff new lines. I will try again. I think it might be easier to find another rail without the port. Surprisingly, I have not find a VW site that lists them yet....
