  Don't have an early Bently but I do have the '85 only one.  Great 
book for A2 differences stuff.
  I can't prove it but I believe the 180bar is bunk.  I've worked on 
several own one and owned another yellow dot pump Rabbits that 
I believe hadn't had any injector work done on them.  All tested 
at regular release pressure.  I never tested one (that worked) 
above the normal, TD pressure and those were all from TD cars.
No high pressure injectors from a YD pump and never have seen a 
listing for them either.
