Thanks for replies, Do not have VCDS, will purchase, Since it is a fuel pressure problem occuring right after the Injector change its most likely something messed up during the reassembly/disassembly. Any ideas of things I can check before I have access to VCDS?

As above........using something like VCDS will help.  You can also see which cylinder(s) are playing up, the low or high fuel pump, stuck air flap runner on the intake manifold, ..........could be a number of things to be honest.

Seals should be changed every time the injectors are messed with due to being one time use supposedly.  I usually use the elring ones as they are a lot cheaper than the VW genuine ones and most probably the OEM suppliers

Yep as said above Facebook auto trader eBay your best bet to.   what's the spec on your car may be interested

Fuel pressure problem. https://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/18725/P2293/008851

Do you have VCDS or anything that can monitor the fuel pressures?

Checking Fuel Pressure

Prerequisites:

    Ignition ON
    Engine ON (Idle)
    System voltage at least 11.0 V.
    Coolant Temperature at least 80 °C

[Select]
[01 - Engine]
[Meas. Blocks - 08]
Group 103
[Go!]
Field 1: Fuel Pressure (Low), Specification: 2800...7200 mbar
Field 2: Fuel Pump Adaptation, Specification: -1000...+1000 %
Note:

    Timing chain driven engines such as the CCTA, CBFA and CCTA were phased in during model year 2008. Those engines do not use a G410 (Low) Fuel Pressure Sensor so Measuring Blocks group 103 is not applicable.


Group 106
[Go!]
Field 2: Fuel Rail,Pressure (actual): (A value ≈ 35 to 55% is considered normal at idle)

    A value ≈ 55% to 60% could be considered as an indication of a low fuel pressure concern
    A value above ≈ 60% to 70% usually indicates there is a failure or restriction
    A value fluctuating ≈ 35% to 95% may indicate an intake fuel pump failing
        Causes of low pressure can include:
            Damaged/restricted fuel lines
            Fuel filter issues including restricted/clogged or incorrect part number (wrong pressure relief value)
            Faulty in-tank fuel pump and/or in-tank fuel pump controller. (With critical parts, we encourage customers to use Genuine Factory parts from the dealer's parts department.).


Group 140
[Go!]
Field 3: Fuel Rail Pressure (High), Specification: 25.0...110.0 bar
Increase the Engine Speed while checking this value, the Pressure has to rise with the Engine Speed.

Group 230
[Go!]
Field 1: Specified Fuel Rail Pressure (High)
Field 2: Actual Fuel Rail Pressure (High), Specification: 25.0...110.0 bar
Field 3: Deviation between specified and actual fuel pressure, Specification: max. 5.0 bar

In my honest opinion, it's almost never worth doing a swap, if the car came with that engine at any given point from the manufacturer. The only reason I'd do a CDL swap is if I blew my BWA because a cdl base is only twice as much as a bwa base.

For the amount it'd cost you to swap a CDL, you'd be able to forge your bwa, and then you have a fresh engine basically. A stock, good condition K04 can push 350-360hp on a BWA as long as you keep the torque under 500nm. It wont blow up right away if you go over, but it's a pretty good safety net tbh. If you're going to stick to a K04, it's not worth forging nor CDL swapping for that extra 30-40hp and 50nm. If you wanna go big turbo, it's better to forge than swap imo.


If you have a k03, it's a different story. A k04 swap with used parts will cost you about 1k so in that case it's much better to CDL swap than upgrade your BWA. If you're going with some fresh oem K04 injectors, they are about 250 each so just the 4 injectors will cost you 1k, then there's the turbo, the hoses, the intercooler, because a K03 intercooler is basically useless for a K04. Outside temps were 12c, 50-200kph rolling sprint, intake temps over 54c at 180kph...


I had a 1.4 tsi, the 122hp version and kept wanting to do a 2.0 swap. Everyone told me it would be a huge waste of money, and it's true. For the amount of money it would have cost me to buy the engine and swap it in, I bought this Jetta with engine problems from some dealer in Germany for just under 2800 euros with 128k km on it. It had a few split vacuum hoses and a bad pcv, but they dint really know that. Had to tow it home which cost me another 600 but after selling the 1.4 I actually ended up turning a profit.

Hi all,
Title sums it up really, Changed injector, so had manifold off etc. cannot find anything put together incorrectly, completely out of ideas.
Thanks for any replies.

I live in the UK, just trying to plan out if it is worth doing the swap or buying a Edition 30 or even a Sirocco R and tuning those isntead

Prices will depend very much on where you are from or where you are getting the job done. Here I've seen stock CDL's go as low as 1800 euros or as high as 2400. Complete swaps are about 1500 to 2000 with today's prices. It's also a fun DIY project but I highly recommend a complete donor car for that lol

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I am still trying to find a CDL engine for a good price. just curious how much roughly do you think it will cost me to get the swap done? Also would there be other things i need to change such as fuel system ac and rad
