I still have a supply of French Bosch injector nozzles that will work in the 616 and 617 engines. You are not going to find these anywhere for sale in a retail outlet as they are out of European production and outsourced to India now. So these are the real deal as far as quality goes per the original German design. They are still factory sealed in their original manufacturer's container. Mercedes dealer retail on the inferior Indian nozzles is $60 each, and my price is $50 each per French nozzle. I have sold several 5-piece sets and am slowly getting down to the minimum supply I need to maintain my fleet.

You can PM me for purchase details - I prefer PayPal and have an established history on the account that can be reviewed.

Other than these nozzles, if I were given the choice between Indian Bosch and the Italian Bozios, I'd go with the Bozios for the better chance of success. However, the long-term running capability of Bozios is still undetermined in my mind, so you may want to consider using a higher quality part to do the job right the first time and for the long term running of the car. It's no fun to pull injectors multiple times and still not get a good running car.
