In my experience, there are a LOT of cruddy make nozzles out there, and HUGE numbers of cheap Chinese crap that wont last 10K miles...

There are even 'Counterfeit' make nozzles, which are 'reconditioned' Bosch/Delphi etc. types.

Having messed around for many years with Diesels, I will now Never use any other make other than Delphi or Bosch (France/Germany) made nozzles, which Must be in the original sealed makers carton.

Fortunately here in the UK, there are suppliers such as Merlin Diesel who will supply private individuals as well as Co's, and supply proper OEM nozzles at realistic prices...Around 15 dollars for a DNOSD240, as used in the OM-615/6/7
