installed a set of PD 150 injectors this week for a customer done alot of work on this car aside from an auto>five speed>six speed it's recieved a 17/22, malone boost egt gauges etc. ....well when I pulled the injectors from the head I noticed some wear in the injector bore itself ....this is my first time r&r on PD injectors and wondering if anyone else has run into this....It "appears" that the side loading from the injector clamp has caused wear on the opposite side of the bore from minute injector movements....I cleaned and smoothed the side of the bores as much as possible...lubed them up and along with new injector orings and seals I'm crossing my fingers...car seems to run good but is a little slow on the start (was before too) ...and I just found this .... http://www.eurodrivers.ca/forums/sh...l.-Help-Wanted&p=226517&viewfull=1#post226517 ....so it looks like a not uncommon issue ...no pics of the customers bores but I have his old injectors and I'll shoot some pics of those showing the corresponding wear patterns... and this... http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?101958-1.9Tdi-115.-Engine-swap
