Well, I'm not completely positive that I need to replace my injectors - and I would be happy to have mine tested if I could. However, my experience with the 2 major diesel shops here in Las Vegas has been far less than positive. I actually left the car with one shop for 2 full days when I first got it - they told me they pulled ONE injector and tested it and it was perfect, so they didn't bother to pull the other 5 since they thought they would probably be the same - even though they kept the car for two full days. Their diagnosis of my rough idle was a leaking injection pump - and repair would be in the neighborhood of $2000. My interperetation of that was, "We have no desire whatsoever to work on your car." The other diesel shop here in Las Vegas told me, "Yeah, we don't like to work on those Mercedes diesels - they're pretty much just a nuisance."

So, I'm left to fend for myself. I DO have a mechanic who could remove my old injectors and install new ones if I get them, I just don't have anyone who can balance, pop-test, etc. to be sure they're set up properly. That's why I'm looking to buy a set that are already set up so I can just drop them into my car - then maybe I'll sell the old ones on eBay or something.

I have read good things about the Bosio nozzles and I would be happy to have a set, but like I said, I don't have anyone who could do the work of putting them together for me. If DieselGiant sells Bosch injectors with Bosio nozzles installed, tested, etc. then I would be happy to buy a set.
