Here's a link for ya...... http://www.boschservice.com/ServiceLocations/DieselServiceCenter/Diesel+Service+Center.htm

You should be able to find someone here.....Folks, please do not be afraid of the Bosch people.....I have always found them to be very friendly and helpful....example, here in WV there is only 1 certified Bosch Injection shop.....about 125 miles from me....I phoned them, asking about popping some nozzles.....they gave me the phone numbers of 3 shops closer to me, that aren't presently Bosch certified....also told me to try a Standyne product in my fuel before pulling my nozzles.....still have not pulled the nozzles......intend to, maybe next month.....I have a bit of nailing at idle....I think I may have a dribbler in my #5 cylinder.......

Oh, yes....I forgot to mention, if you do go to an Injection Shop....ask to see the facility, and ask if you can watch.....it's really interesting, and you will learn much......
