1989 Audi 200 QT - Hard Start Need Help

[Dave Glubrecht]

The biggest hassle to the special injector tool is actually bothering to buy
one.
Sorry, don't know of the many sources but your local hardware store won't
have one.
You could even make one fairly easy.  It is just an L with a U cut out of
the bottom that will hook onto the injector and a couple of slots (only need
one) on top to slide a screwdriver in.  You use the valve cover as a fulcrum
to pop the injector out with the screwdriver.  The L is also a bit more than
90deg.
If the seals are very hard, you will find it very difficult without the
tool.
They are cheap to buy  <$10.00 and work very nice.
