Re: Broken Injector Sleve on A100 2.2.
if indeed it is rounded, try a plumbers/broken bolt extractor of the
proper size. and if no-go...remove the intake manifold; split the sleeve
with a die grinder with burr or a Dremel with two opposite axial slits to
the root diameter of the treads and the sleeve will virtually fall out.
Good luck,
Phil
