So, I bought some new nozzles from AutohausAZ for my 1.5. They're 1.6 nozzles, but what the hey, they still work.
However, I'm a bit leery of putting them in. The tube they each come in rather prominently says "Made in India," along with the Bosch logo, information, and what I'm assuming is a Bosch part number: 0 434 250 063-3B3.
Right below that is: DN 0 SD 193.
I opened one tube, the DN number, Bosch logo, "INDIA," and the number 690 over "902" inside an oval are all on the injector itself.
Good nozzles, or did I get screwed with some knockoffs? I'm reassured by the presence of part numbers on the injector itself, but I've seen enough Chinese and Indian precision components to be more than a little wary of them...
Bosch has thier stuff built all over the place.
If it has "BOSCH" on the tip you should be good.

Tip? As in, the injection end?
The injectors themselves only have the Bosch logo...
I don't think you need to worry.
I bought new nozzles from AutohausAZ
and from a supplier here in Canada.
They all say "Made in India".
I suspect they're just made under license,
for Bosch, in India (cheap labour).
Bosch has a manufacturing plant in india.... they are a soriginal as the german ones..
