Hey guys, my vl berlina has a fuel issue and im to belive it's injectors 5 and 6...so im goin to replace the whole lot with a new rail
My plan is to remove the top half of the inlet manifold, will i need any gaskets or goop when i put it back on????

Yes u will. u will need the gasket for the Intake runners - Inlet plenum and is advised to use some sort of sealant. i use some red sealent which is like a jelly, sorry dont know name of it

Check the 6 small black seals for the injectors as well. in the inlet as u slowly lift the rail+inj together

while ur at it flush out the intake plenum with some fuel and clean the throttle body.. get it schmick :P

dont forget all the vacuum hoses to be put back in the right places and make sure u bleed the air out of your cooling system once the plenum is back on as coolant flows through the throttlebody

[SikVScommi]

[SikVScommi]

it wont idle, and it dies out when 1st,2nd, drive or reverse is selected

sounds like a trans problem, have you checked your trans fluid?.............. correctly? e.g. at operating temp on a level surface.

what was the original problem that led you to a fuel issue?
