What kind of maintenence do these inectors need? BTW '98 E300 Turbo Diesel.

If you have 200,000 miles on the origional Injectors and they have never been checked within the last 100,000 I would say they should be pulled and checked as the Nozzles should be close to the end of their life.

However, I do not know if they are the cause of the White smoke as described in the first post of the Thread.

Some Member have done a chemical "Purge" that cleans the Injectors on the Engine but this is not a cure for worn out Nozzles on your Injectors.
