This shows pics of the 5th injector setup and how to remove it. It was not a recall item, so a lot of crs still have it. It applies to 1996 passats only.

I thought that it was a recall?

If it was a recall it should have been replaced, no?

Also note that this does not cover removal of the entire system, it only involves removing the fuel line part. To remove the entire system requires removal of a solenoid and plugging the hole in the exhaust left by the 5th injector.

Any chance they will bring it back to meet emissions? I doubt it since they have adblue now, but if it worked and was easy, why not?

I highly doubt it.

It never worked and caused smoke. That's worse emissions. The EGR cooler was a much better addition for meeting emissions.

Yeah, emissions controls are much more precise than using fuel to squirt in the catalyst. This will never come back.
