Bosch No Longer Makes 1.6TD Injectors?
« on: September 22, 2008, 02:28:27 pm »
I've talked to a few vendors and they've all stated the Bosch is out of the business of making TD injectors new or re-manufactured. All you can get is the NA ones.

Hope someone can shed some light on this.

Looks like this is true. I talked to a bunch of vendors today and they all said the same thing, Bosch doesn't make them anymore.

I was informed of a place in Massachusetts that will rebuild them though.

If anyone else has any suggestions on who rebuilds them I would appreciate it.

That's not true. I sell Bosch rebuilt injectors. They aren't cheap, but I can get them.

They're 42 each with a 12 dollar core plus shipping.

Interesting, who does the rebuilding.

Also I'm pretty sure you can't get NEW one from Bosch, at least that's what all the vendors told me.

Sounds like they are no longer making new housings,.. just rebuilding with used housings.
 Can you get rebuilt ones,.. with new housings? :lol:

I appreciate the offer and I might consider it.

Although the place I found in mass is a bosch dealer and they will rebuild my cores for 50-70 bucks for all four injectors, so you could see why I probably would want to pay $50 for rebuilt ones from bosch.

But it's great to know that you can get them from rebuilt from Bosch. Seems like you're the only one that has stated this and I've talked with about 5 different well known vendors.

Frankly if you can have them rebuilt I'd go that route because it's much cheaper.

Just be sure to use the proper nozzles and have them set at 155 bar for TD

When I talked to the guy he basically said they replace with the same nozzles that came out of the injector.

Since I'm pretty sure mine have never been pulled I'm sure they are the orginals. And I will probably indicate 155bar and request a report from them on what they set the pop pressure at.

Any chance you can get GTD nozzles and if so how much?
