Hi guys I've had my T25 now for nearly 6 years, it had a 1Y engine fitted when purchased and I've kept it because its pretty solid (slow but solid) my issue is that I've now had 3 injector pipes burst, presumably from corrosion, which I've had to weld back up on the road (finding someone with a tig set who is willing to let you use it is the hardest part believe it or not) having become sick of this and potentially watching the best part of me burn on the A303 Cornwall bound, I've been trying to source a new set to completely replace and have spares of, should the worst happen (no more taking my welding shield just in case)
I'm seriously struggling, every scrap yard doesn't have an old mk3 non turbo golf in, VW directly no longer stock parts the list continues as to why I cant purchase them
Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated, a company that manufactures them/stocks such apparently mythical wares or maybe a set someone has and wants rid
Southampton based but need is must so any suggestions shoot them
Thanks for getting this far

A complete engine at £350? That's a pretty good deal.

Re: 1Y fuel injectors
If you have the originals (albeit welded up) Take them to an engine place and get a new set made up.
Try a few engine places (that remanufacture engines) to get some leads for places.

Re: 1Y fuel injectors
have you got the connectors/straps between the fuel lines installed?? They reduce the vibrations which wreck the pipes
