The lower one is actually a seal, while the upper one just holds the injector in place. All of them can be in pretty bad shape and still function just fine. If the lower ones are cracked all the way thru, or if the upper ones are not holding the injector in place, then you can get air sucked in there along with the gas. That will make that cylinder run lean, which can be hard on the engine. > Also, I'm getting adaptor plates made to put 5 bolt ford rims on the VW. > Does anyone know the size of the wheel bolts on a 4 bolt VW rim? I believe they are 14mm. Keep in mind that wheel adaptors can be dangerous if everything isn't made just right, and moving the wheels outwards changes the suspension geometry so that the results are not always as nice as one might hope. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
