Polo Gti: Oil residue around the injectors

Post by POLOZ »

Hi Guys,

Just noticed there last week, the area around all the injectors had some oil residue around it.
I was just thinking if any of the gti owners on here had the same issue? Does it mean the O rings
need changing?

Also would this cause bad idle?

Cheers

Thanks for the reply mate :)

How difficult is it to change the seals? Take it the seals are cheap enough ;)

I am not having running issues as such apart from the strange idle dip i get when the engine is warm.

Also did you replace both the top and bottom seal?

Just the bottom seal. Didn't change the seats in the manifold.
