Just cleaned fuel injectors *wow*

I cannot see why not as its a simple spring mechanism similar to the DV if I remember correctly
 
can someone post a pic-how-to of this? i really think my 10 yr old car can do with it's injectors cleaned but i am not great with my spanners and usually end up breaking something. i would really appreciate more details on how to remove the injectors and where to get the correct cleaning solution. thanks!

It is very straight forward, ive give a quick how to on this thread, no pics though, if i do sombody elses i will do one, or if anybody is just about to do it do one?
 
Ok, so who wants to lend me an ultrasonic bath? Despite mine being recently cleaned I want to give this a go.

And yes I am a tight b'stard ;)
 
How did you get to the allen bolts, I can't get anything in past the plastic casing thats blocking them
 
No, don't worry, I wasn't on about the ones down the bottom, just the two that are holding the fuel rail in place. I read the part about not opening the drivers door, but the fuses (for the fuel pump) are on that side aren't they. Do you think it's worth disconnecting the battery, or is it not a necessity?
 
And cheers for the pics dave, just had to do a bit of multi tasking to get the both sides off at the same time, (something I'm regularly told I'm not good at!)
 
I left the rail connected. I just liffed out the injectors and rail together and took the top off the FPR to release most of the pressure and tipped out the fuel from there. As soon as you remove the first injector from the rail fuel will run out so get a bit of cloth ready.
 
Cheers for the help guys, I have left the rail connected as well. One last question, do the injectors just pull out?

There are little metal clips that hold the injector to the fuel rail. Remove these first then the injector will need a bit of a tug to come out. Also make sure that none of the rubber seal is left inside the hole on the fuel rail when you pull out the injectors.
 
I'm cleaning the injector tips on the TDI and Patrol next weekend.
I can take pics of that if people want but they are diesels, so the injectors and fitting it different.
 
Can someone tell me where the injectors are on the 2.0l A3 170?

Are they easy to take out?
 
Wrong section mate, sounds like youve got a 8p not a 8l.
 
audi upgrades
i've cleaned my injectors in the newly bought ultrasonic cleaner, did you guys replace both the rubber seals on each injector?
 
If it's any help they sell ultrasonic cleaners in aldi for 20squid they have the same in maplin for £40-£50
Gona do mine at the weekend.
