That was generally my rule for when I perused ebay to tell them apart, if the part number wasn't listed.

One thing I did try, and I'll need to try again because perhaps I didn't have my ohmmeter range right. These 4 questionable injectors showed resistance to be infinity. The garage was cold- about 45 degrees. I believe I'm supposed to get 2.4 ohms at room temp, according to my manual. I'll bring them in the house tonight and try again.. >Squashed and slightly hard are really no problem. The small ones are >just a vacuum seal and the large ones are just for mechanical >mounting.

Right now there's too much futzing to get it started, and changing out fuel lines and vacuum hoses is part of my due diligence anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
