Manifold tubes are plastic?!?



I -believe- the 555s are metal and NLA, while the 555As are plastic and
still available.

ETKA is a little difficult to understand here, but the part number is either

063 133 555 or 063 133 555A.
Like Julie says, 11mm allen that you'll never use anywhere else.
check out www.worldimpex.com
If you enter the part numbers they have a picture of them and the two parts 
are quite different.

Thats an injector insert. It forms the seal between the intake manifold and 
the rubber O ring on the injector. They are fairly cheap IIRC and come out 
with an 11 mm allen key (yet another one use tool :)
Check the O ring on the injector. Is it there? Is it old & hard?
