Is there anything i can do? 2 of my injectors are leaking out of the hose. New ones just look too expensive. if it helps its a 1.7 If i need to replace them, does anyone know where i could get cheap ones? or used ones?

Do they have the crimped hose at the injector. If so you can just pull the old hose and crimp off and put some new FI hose on and hose clamp it to the injector. Be sure and use the flat type hose clamp made for FI.

Might as well replace all the hose if it hasn't been done in a couple of years.

If the hoses are leaking, you can cut the metal collar on the injector end of the hose to pull the hose off of the injector and use short pieces of high pressure 5/16" or 8mm hose and hose clamps.

That's typical....pull them out, grind the brass crimped bezels off....if not already gone, replace the high pressure FI type hose and use GOOD clamps.

I've replaced all the hoses from the fuel pump up and now stuck at this point. Thanks for the tips. that will work!

it's easy. maybe clean out/flow test the injectors as long as you've got them out.

Also, make sure to check if the plastic tips are still on the injector and use new seals.

where is the best place to get new injector seals?

Get them from PP or any VW shop (supposedly).

They're the same seals that were used on all of the injected air-cooled VWs. But you really should get them from Pelican....
