I had a pipe go yesterday and have ordered a set of replacements.
However, I noticed on the website that the injectors come with a (looks) small washer that is also sold separately.
Does this fit on top and would I need to replace these as well?
Thanks in advance

Re: Replacing injector fuel pipes
The pipe should seal directly onto the injector,the washer could be the heat shield between the injector and head,if it's a turbo diesel,or copper washer for tdi return pipe,unfortunately I don't know what web site your on

Thanks for the reply.
Its a TD and brought the pipes from Brickwerks but JK showed a washer that is sold with the injectors (and sold separately) called injector seal washers and I wasn't sure whether I needed them to be on top of the injector before fitting the pipe as that is where the picture looked like they fitted.
Panicking a bit as the bus is my only transport at the moment and have already had to cancel a job next Tuesday as the pipes won't be her until then and didn't want to delay any further if I didn't order washers in time if I needed them
