As in, you managed to snap the steel fuel line? (theres no pic) That'd take a bit of effort!

haha yes, that steel/whatever higher pressure pipe.
Damn that sucks, someone must have leant on it to break it clean off, or creased it when moving the rail off to get the injectors. I've replaced 6 of mine myself and can see how it can happen.

update
so when I got my injectors replaced, BMW dealer mechanic installed the bracket upside down
this meant that one injector was held in by one tab and caused the tab to break, which put extra pressure on the fuel line causing it to snap, luckily it doesn't appear to have ovaled the injector port moral of the story, if you want something done right do it yourself |

dealer declined having done any work on the car, despite having charged me and provided a receipt. I then provided this as evidence of work completed and they back tracked quickly and said their apprentice did the work, I asked them to cover the costs of the tow truck, parts and my time and labour (a very generous $25 per hour) and they advised they can't do that and that they will be terminating the apprentices employment. I advised if they don't terminate their apprentices employment AND reimburse me for just the parts that I would not take legal action. waiting on a response |
