I followed your video on YouTube on fuel rail replacement and it was great and very helpful. I replaced intake, coils and plugs and injectors. Problem I had was the cups in the fuel rail were rusty and after I cleaned them, there are pits and bumps and now the new injectors will not seal properly and they leak. So I need a new fuel rail. My question is, where can I purchase the exact fuel rail you purchased in that video? Dealership wants over $400.00 for a new one (ouch) and will not give me a part number. I am handy with Google and no matter how hard I search, I cannot find one for sale or an accurate part number.

The fuel rail that was in the video below was most likely purchased from a dealer.

Unfortunately we are at the mercy of the same parts sourcing you are. So if you cannot locate one from an aftermarket source, I would look at salvage yards as they most likely have one that you will be able to use cheaper then at a dealer.

I also attached the process from the manual in case you need this as well. Let us know what questions you have. Thanks
