Hey I'm wondering if anybody could give a little help!

I have a '01 A4 2.5 V6 TDI that for the past year has been running with much reduced power. I've replaced all the basic filters, even the MAF cos I heard that could also be the problem - all without success. Last week I ran the shareware version of VAG-COM and it turned up the following code:

00542 - Needle lift Sensor (G80)
30-10 - Open or Short to B+ - Intermittent

I've had a look around and it seems this sensor is in one of the 6 injectors. What I'm wondering is if anyone else has repaired a similar problem? Is it possible to replace just one of the injectors and is there a specific type of injector that I can buy that contains the sensor?

Many thanks, I have little hair left after two years pulling it out watching small cars burn me at traffic lights!

Cheers
