I wouldn't leave my email address exposed like that, if I were you.

No, do them one at a time, remove and discard an old bolt then fit and correctly tighten a new one, this way the gasket should remain stuck in place.

So you take out ALL the old bolts in a sequence, so that there are none left

 

A recipie for disaster 😲

 This. 

 

For god's sake don't get hung up on doing them in a particular order, or take them all out at once! 

ok. Got it. Now before doing a remap....my engine has a slight wobble on tick over every 5 seconds or so, not a misfire, but noticable on the steering wheel, a slight shudder. Is this normal? The other thing I noticed is low fuel consumption at idle, about 0.4L/hour and hot fuel temperature on vcds... (My Golf mk4 ASZ never got below 0.6l) Do you think it would be a good idea to change the injector seals with these sympthoms? And if so, since I have a set of AL injectors laying around... should I use them or keep the BLT injectors for 190hp. If swap them for AL injectors, I would need to drive the car some 250km to my tuner on them on a stock map

 

Will you PLEASE stop yakking on about changing the injectors, if you could be arsed to trawl these pages for every post about a PD150 on a BLT you'd quickly see it's  complete unnecessary, believe me, I've been here twelve years and if I had a fiver for every time I've read such a thread I'd have enough to buy a nice shiny new car.

 

Your problem sounds more likely related to the fact that you STILL haven't had the damned remap done yet, get it done then see if the problem persists.

 

Finish the work then post back.
