[Vwdiesel] Problem with injector lines

[James Hansen]

 he probably got dirt in the line when he installed it.
Doubt any damage, but the injector could be stuck open from dirt, which
makes a hell of a fuss. It sounds like a valve is going to pop out for a
visit in the sunlight. or non-install of the heat sheild and the injector is
not sealed in the head... Gotta hear it and you would tell right away.
