While you can attempt removal with improvised tools, the risk of damaging the injectors or cylinder head is substantial. The official tool or a quality aftermarket equivalent (such as the Laser 8274 kit, which is equivalent to T10133C) is highly recommended.
If your 1.2 TSI is the EA211 variant (found in later models), note that there are some differences in tool requirements. The is specifically designed for these engines and is required to remove the petrol injectors and install the Teflon injector chamber seals on 1.0L, 1.2L, 1.4L, and 1.5L engines.
Replace both the Teflon combustion chamber sealing ring and the elastic O-rings. to ease installation. However, do not lubricate the Teflon sealing ring with oil or grease —it must remain dry to seat properly.

Removing fuel injectors from a VW 1.2 TSI engine requires depressurizing the system, removing the rail, and potentially using specialized pullers if injectors are seized in the cylinder head due to carbon. It is essential to replace all Teflon seals and O-rings, clean the injector seats, and apply correct torque specifications during reassembly. For more details, visit TLF Performance Parts .

While this reads like a workshop manual, you should treat it as a . Direct injection petrol systems operate at extreme pressures (up to 150 bar).
Unbolt the intake manifold support brackets from underneath using your triple-square bits.
The high-pressure line from the pump to the rail is a single-use item. Mark it for disposal.
Remove the bolts holding the fuel rail to the cylinder head.

The 1.2 TSI engine uses direct injection, meaning the tip of the injector sits inside the combustion chamber of the cylinder head. Over time, heat and combustion by-products cause carbon to build up around the injector nozzle. This "coking" effectively glues the injector into its bore, making it extremely difficult to remove with standard hand tools. Because the injector body is relatively delicate, prying or twisting aggressively can easily break the injector, leaving the tip seized in the head—a serious problem to resolve.
