    Hi,
    Hoping someone here might be able to help shed some light on a problem iv got with my 1.8t swapped corrado. Engine swap went perfect and has been trouble free for nearly a year.
    But about a month ago I started the car on my drive and noticed a missfire on further investigation I noticed fuel leaking out from between the exhaust manifold and turbo.
    Plugged in vcds and got a single code:-

    01251 - Fuel Injector for Cylinder 3 (N32)
    29-00 - Short to Ground Intermittent

    Iv checked the wiring through doesn't seem to be a problem there.
    Iv swapped injectors around to see if the fault moves but doesn't seem to which would point to loom!? As it's an intermittent fault it's proving difficult to track down.
    Any help with this would be most appreciated.

    Sounds like injector stuck open, maybe faulty ecu.

    Well given Iv swapped injectors around so it can't be that otherwise the fault code would have moved to a different cylinder.
    I ll check the out put from the ECU with the car running and compare it between cylinders.
