Injector Trouble and a Real Fix

Ever since we installed the new injectors, the car’s been misfiring at idle. After some back and forth, it turned out one of the new injectors was faulty. The seller insisted I ship it back at my expense, and while I eventually got a refund, I didn’t want to deal with this again. Lesson learned: stick to trusted sellers.

So I ordered a brand new Bosch injector from OEMVWShop.com (opens in a new tab)—finally, some peace of mind.

While waiting, I had also ordered a few fun (and necessary) items from the same shop:

• Original chrome VW emblems (front & rear)
• Chrome GTI badges (front & rear)
• GTI floor mats (to replace the worn-out ones)
• Yellow dipstick tube (Golf R spec, more robust than the old orange one)
• Exhaust bracket
• New O-ring for the EVAP tube
• Wheel center caps (the originals were... let’s say “tired”)
• DSG service kit (DQ250, should be serviced every 60,000 km)
