aparently this guy has been selling nozzles labeled as genuine bosch , but are fake knock offs .
i bought some from him a few weeks ago , filed a dispute yesterday , and he was good enough to refund all my money .....
the bad part is how many people did he decieve ?
BUT i thought i'd start a thread to warn others .
i've been talking to another guy who bought stuff from him on ebay , who tipped me off about the stuff being fake .
this is what he wrote to me ;
"If you call Bosch and give them the part number they will verify that these
are fake. I found out after purchasing these and reading threads on
tdiclub.com that these are indeed fake. Someone on there took some highly
magnified shots of the metallurgy between these "original" Bosch injectors
and some Fratelli Bosios and found that the "original" Bosch are definitely
inferior in quality.
* edit*
and he hasn't been on TDICLUB.com for a
long time either. I think he knows he messed up. I feel bad for the guy
though. I know that deep down he just wanted to start a legit business.
It's not always easy though. I really have nothing against the guy. He
refunded my money and all I can say to him now is thanks. Other than that,
he's a good ebayer, I think. It's a shame he just didn't come out and talk
to the people he sold these to."

i purchased what i thought where real bosch gtd nozzles , they are even marked bosch and " made in france " on the nozzles .
funny thing is , the non bosch , stock replacement , nozzles i got from prothe had a much better spray pattern , and i used them in my brothers 1.6 td samuria conversion .
