Surely you must be kidding?   I have had VW's with fuel injection since 1978
and have never replaced a fuel injector.  All the engines ran without
problems for lots of miles. Just because your motor runs rough doesn't mean
it's your fuel injectors. More than likely it's probably your ignition wires
or coil.  I would certainly check those items first before getting into
anything on the engine.  Also change your fuel filter and use decent fuel.
