Injector Trouble and a Real Fix

Ever since we installed the new injectors the car has 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 own expense, and while I did get a refund in the end, I do not want to go through that again. Stick to trusted sellers.

Stay away from this seller. Even if you can't find a part anywhere else, please stay away. I ordered from this shop because they were the only option I had. Now after a few months, other stores have got their hands on the parts I need, and I'd much rather order from the reputable sellers over this shop...

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)
