    Tried gars maf tonight and the rough idle problem is still there. Gar disconnected the disa and it improved it a lot but still not perfect. I will just have to keep digging, has anyone any idea if I could have done something to cause this when removing the fuel rail? I cleaned the injectors and am wondering if I did anything wrong in that area.

    get some spray , start the engine and spray around inlet manifold , around injectors and so on ,and see if it will make any changes on engine work .if it will does ,check for leaks in that area

    I noticed the tips of the injectors were dirty when I removed the fuel rail so I cleaned them with some brake cleaner, I probably lost an o ring in the process I will look for any leaks around the area and report back

    So I checked around the top of the manifold and the injectors and could only find one small leak on the top ccv pipe so replaced the o ring on that and fixed the leak but rough idle still exists, I sprayed under the manifold and can hear a leak from the oil return pipe on the ccv I think so will examine that properly during the week when I'm replacing the throttle body gasket and lower rubber boot. Fingers crossed I find the culprit then

    Don't know if I have a new problem or if this is the cause but I have found a leak in the fuel line right behind the manifold, i must have damaged it when moving the manifold, could this be the cause of the rough idling and is that hose easily replaced?

    Think I need to leave this to the professionals replaced the fuel hose and rubber boots and throttle body gasket and checked every where for leaks and still no improvement unfortunately, doesn't throw up any errors when the maf is disconnected and runs nearly perfect
