[Vwdiesel] The importance to lining up oil pump gears with markings on ea...

[Bryan Belman]

You guys are GOOD.  #3 injector, sopping wet, no carbon on the bottom side of the heat shield, just wet.
All other injectors and heat shields were dry and carbon on the bottom side.

So, just to be safe, I seperated #3 as suspect for sure and will have them all tested for $6 each.

I am sure hoping that is my issue, all seems to be adding up.
That is why my oil seemed a bit thin as well.
I have dumped the oil and will put 20W-50 Amsoil back in.

I took the easy road and removed the injector first, not the oil pan.  Hey, I am learning.

Thanks

I don't know if Andrew is still part of this list but I created this from
some web page I found a while back about a DIY injector nozzle tester.

the tank and put this in one of my other cars and will put a fresh 5 gallons
of fuel back in tank.
