Ive ordered a number of different types over the years, They supplied whatever number I've needed--You Have to give them the actual Nozzle-Number...

I believe they will also supply out a complete re-built injector set if needed,--costs though...

All the Bosch Ive ordered from Merlin Diesel have been made in France...

The Delphi nozzles (Lucas/CAV et-al) have also been made in France. Delphi make all the usual suspects and are in equal quality to a Bosch France/Germany nozzle...

(Lucas/CAV/Rotodiesel/Delphi are OEM for a lot of European vehicles....)

Only set of Bosch India nozzles I had came from a different Co, (Help-Today) and needed a clean as I had issues when fitting one--Production dirt maybe....?

Been perfect ever since though in my 190D 2.5....

On reflection however, even though there are no issues Now with the Bosch India, I would still go for Delphi or Bosch France, from Merlin-Diesel

BTW, and very often forgotten when removing/replacing an injector....

You MUST replace the 'heat-shield' washer Every Time, Even if you had the injector in there only an hour and need to remove it for whatever reason, the washer Must Be Replaced--Failing to do this can cause nozzle damage, as the washer de-forms during installation to make the seal--A poor seal can easily overheat and 'blue' a nozzle.....
