Just a quick question.

I have removed all the bolts fixing the fuel rail and now the fuel rail is free. Do the injectors 'wiggle/pull' out of the inlet or are they fixed in?

Cheers in advance

is the fuel rail still conected to the injectors? they are held onto the fuel rail with some wiggly clips and then they just pull out, they are sealed in with an O-ring.

new o-rings would be a good idea, there cheap enough to replace while there out and would be a ballache to replace once there back in if they start leaking! :thumb:

New O ring seals are a must IMO. Cheap & prevent an fuel leakage which could end in tragedy. (for the sake of a few O rings!!)

You need 8 dont forget.

creams in early xe's blues in late DIS xe's. the blues flow slightly more but that is due to them running 3bar and not 2.5. the blues have a better spray pattern aswell. good flow for around 200hp
