[Vwdiesel] injection line questions

[Dana Morphew]

 I just replaced one on the 1.9, type 1Y.  The lines were rebent to fit
from a 1.6 set and it's likely the metal was fatigued then.  It was a fine
mist of a spray and very difficult to detect, but it was obvious there was
leakage.  A couple of minutes monkeying with a flashlight while the engine
idled, and I found the leak.  I think it is important to keep the rubber-
damped clips installed on the lines to reduce the chance of metal fatique
too.
