[Vwdiesel] Bubbly injectors - uh oh.

a larger opening
(I'll measure it later today.)  >>>

I take it you are using NEW heat shields and installed
the correct side up. I would bet that the sealing
surface on the injector nozzles are worn (pitted)
since the PO used (incorrect) heat shields w/ larger
holes in them. All I know is that the injector nozzle
surface under where the hole in the heat shield is
becomes erroded away and pitted. Now w/ the correct
shields in place, they don't seal because the nozzles
are pitted underneath. Possibly time to have the
nozzles replaced. Rebuilt injectors run about the
same, $35 each. If the leaking is not bad enough
(minor), just live w/ it.
