There are Bosch "copy" injectors out there that are yellow plastic except that 
the corners around the plug are squared instead of radiused. I assume this 
was easier to make the injection mold. The Bosch ones have the Bosch 
Magneto logo molded into them and have the Bosch 10 digit part # too. If 
they were purchased thru VW they will also have the VW #. If your's don't 
have any of this then it is possible that they are this counterfeit style, which I 
have little respect for.

I hope you don't have those, because if you do, I think you should replace all 
of them. Does the receipt give a brand, part #, or price?
