[urq] 034EFI FUEL RAIL

[jshadzi at aol.com]

Listers, in our original testing and development of this product, we 
never had any problems with the “NPT” style fittings that are used on 
this product, as well as in wide use world wide as a sealing standard 
for many industries.

However, some of our customers did have problems getting the tapered 
threads to seal.  This is a fact we had to respond to.

Thus, in response to this, we have _already_ redesigned the rail - 
which now uses o-ring sealing ports on either end of the rail, this is 
a more reliable and user-friendly sealing method, and is now employed 
on all our 10v fuel rails.  The rail was also redesigned as a solid, 
gun drilled, single piece of billet aluminum with high tolerance CNC 
machined injector sealing bores.

If you have, or have ever, had trouble with your 034EFI fuel rail, 
please contact me directly and I’ll be happy to create a resolution.

We fully stand behind all our products and services and its a pleasure 
to serve the “Ur-Audi” community in anyway we can.

Sincerely,

I saw the fuel rail in question a few days ago; and with all due 
respect to Javad (And I DO have great respect for his contributions and 
accomplishments), I believe "That's how they are" is not an acceptable 
answer to a leaking fuel rail connection.

If the connection to the rail is not foolproof and straightforward to 
the retail consumer, the engineering of the product is not complete. 
Such a simple part of the assembly process should not be "trial and 
error". If my understanding of the problem is correct (and I -have- 
seen it), I believe the fuel rail should be sold with a  fuel line 
fitting and possibly a 1-2' length of leader line already tig-welded on 
which the consumer can then connect to with a standard fitting. If this 
adds to the price of the product, I think the additional cost is more 
than warranted for 034's own protection. I personally would happily pay 
an extra $50 for the product if I knew I was circumventing a dangerous 
stumbling block by doing so.

Again, no disrespect or negativity intended to Javad, but I feel a 
closer look at the way the product is packaged is warranted.

Bill, Javad has sold many of these units.  I've got one in my 4kq 
turbo. No
problems at all. They will leak ab bit at first c ause it's aluminum
threads...that's how they are.

Did you try Telfon paste?  My install would not stop leaking until I 
used
the paste.  Now it's dry.
