So, unless the injector is damaged internally, it's probably fine then. Right? The cracks are hairline. I see no obvious signs of deformation, but then again, these things are quite precision. I'll install it for now, but I'm going to bank on buying a set of injector seals in case I need to revisit this later. >I would put it in and see if it is OK, if not, put in one of your new >ones, or the whole set.

I like using them for bleeding brakes, and I can use them for storing my used injectors. Now to find a gas station that has kerosene. Surprisingly hard to find around here- I've only seen diesel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
