Injector line question

Post by nate_o »

So #2 Injector line broke today. This is on a 91 Eco turbo diesel (jetta). Everywhere I look at lines they only list lines for N/A engines. My question is...is there any difference in the Inj lines on a N/A and turbo engine?
Also are the new lines from Mk1 Authaus any good?

The ECO uses TD lines and has the longer delivery valves. So, the ones at MK1autohaus should work.

Check with this site's owner here first tho. :)

PS: don't forget to loosen the lines and re-snug anytime you move the IP... when you forget, that's usually how they crack.
Have a nice day.

I checked with forum owner but he did not have them so I guess Im going to go with Mk1.

Lesson learned - I shimmed IP to fix tracking problem with timing belt. Didnt think to loosen lines to relieve stress on them.

I had more than two number 2 lines break on my "91" Jetta ME. It was the bolt underneath the pump were the lines attach. If it's gone or not tight it'll break that number 2 line.
