I've only just found this website and have created an account so I apologise if I’m not in the right forum. I recently acquired an old 1984 mk1 1.8 cabriolet in white which I've managed to get going. One problem that I've managed to diagnose is that the injectors are full of **** and the seals are knackered. So, I went on eBay and got some replacements, all sounds good so far. As I went to install the new injectors I noticed that the threads are different
![:(](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/sad.png)
is there a conversion piece or a washer that can bridge the gap and thread into each different thread on both the injector and the fuel line?
've got a brand new set of injectors that are useless to me if not…

Welcome. Two different threads were used.
You can either get the correct ones or get a set of the fuel lines that match your replacement injectors.
Thanks for the welcome, I thought this might be the case

I would think you are better off returning them and getting a set to match the originals.

the flow rates etc are the same either way no problem using them with new lines if thats what you want to do.
if you do decide to return them look for the mecedes/ferarri brass ones on ebay often can be a little cheaper than original steel type and are non-shrouded coarse thread type so a direct fit to your car

the irony of a Ferrari part being cheaper than a Classic VW part is not lost on me!
