Why is the first question, I am replacing mine in a few weeks time because I have one that fails intermitantly so I will replace all 4 with standard ones. While I have the intake manifold off I will also de-carbon the inlet valves and ports and clean the throttle body.
Are you doing this yourself? If so you will need a few special tools like a long M10 triple square and various torx bit T25, T30 and T45 plus the usual spanners and sockets. You can buy the standard injectors with the seals already installed so you will not require the "Special" injector tools, the ceramic seal is the hard one to replace without the Tool and removing the old injectors can be a problem if carbon has built up again the special tool includes the slide hammer attachment that fits around the injector.
If you are upgrading to S3 injectors make sure they come with the seals on, again the bitch is the ceramic seal you can jimmy up a tool to do it using a socket but it is hit and miss, going S3 is a waste unless moving to KO4 or larger only then would you think about an uprated FPRV.

The tool kit comes with calibration sleeves to 'shrink' the new ceramic seals down to the correct size. If you don't do this before installing the new injectors, you will damage the seals.

Probably I will buy all the parts and my mechanic will install them for me
Any good place to purchased ?

Still have not said why the change, are you staying standard injector, will your mechanic do a de-carbon?

It will get expensive done properly by a mechanic as de-carbon takes hours, I hope your mechanic has been intimate with VWs and the BWA motor. Make sure your mechanic is happy to install your parts as many will not because they can't warranty the work.

My car is 120k I feel that can't get good response when I accelaret even all my coils and spark plugs are new and I am on apr stage 2 + so I am looking for bosch standard injectors
I didn't think that about decarbon

Wouldn't it be better to get the car properly diagnosed, rather than through at it new parts after the new parts?
What will you do next when the problem still exists?

[gazzmo]

Agreed, the place to start as a minimum is with some VagCom logs you may have a boost leak that is sapping power, plenty of good VW places in Melbourne to do the diagnostic. As a guide on price injectors are around $212 each from the dealer add in inlet manifold gasket and labour you could be hitting $1,500 with no de-carbon.

What about your APR dealer as a first point of call?
