[Vwdiesel] Re: [Audi-VW-Diesels] Replacing Fuel Injectors

[Gary, Orlando]

Nate,
Find a place that will just exchange them for rebuilds. Buy them, pay a
core charge, replace them at your leisure, then return for core refund.
That's how I always did mine. VeeParts in San Diego did this, and
perhaps you can find a FLAPS, or even a Bosch Service center that
exchanges as well.
