New Injectors

Are the Bosch rebuilt injectors for the Mercedes the same everywhere - i.e. rebuilt by Bosch and the only difference is the price or are there some places more reliable than others?
Also, I know on my F250 IDI they recommend going with new vs. rebuilt injectors - but then there isn't a huge difference in price...

no, apparently there are a lot of new injectors that are out there from Bosch that are of poop quality. Don't let go of your existing injectors. Do a search here on injectors. You'll likely be surprised.

typo on that last post regarding quality. I meant to say "poor", but I suppose either way will work

I just replace the tips, its a no breiner and they were under $30.00 ea. You can have them tested but chances are they will be fine right outa the box. Make sure you keep things really clean when assembling tho.

stevo,
where do you get your tips from?
is the job to replace them pretty straight-forward?
