going on a search for German nozzles

[d.delano]

Fritz, my colleague here at the firm, is going home to Germany during the holiday. I put him up to trying to find some nozzles, Bosch designation DNO SD 240/, only made in Germany. So here's to hoping he can find some. Don't know if any new ones exist, but if they do they'd surely be in the motherland, right?

IF he finds any let me know - I need to buy AT LEAST one set....

I'd like to get a set also. Is the difference in quality between the german made
injectors and those manufactured in other countries that great??

You would have to ask TomJ about that, but from my understanding erratic spray patterns and inconsistent opening/holding pressures are the norm with Indian-made nozzles, not the exception.

Sad to say it, but you will probably find NO german-made nozzles,even in Germany...AFAIK,Bosch no longer produces them in Germany,but in Turkey, India and Brazil. The local Bosch dealer told me however that in Brazil Robert Bosch GMBH had to halt the production for a while due to the"awful quality" of inj.nozzles Turkish prod. is far better...Alernative-Pierburg/Kolbenschmidt,DieselTech... Don`t know...The online Bosch catalogue now offers only whole Injector setups

Don't forget to have him check for French made ones too. They are OK, leaps and bounds above Indian quality. They are almost on par with German, at least the ones I've tested.

yes all 5 say germany, i will have to remove them to see the part number
