OM601 injector socket
I want to send out the injectors on a 1984 190D 2.2 (260,000km) for rebuild. What size deep socket is required for these OM601 injectors?
I did a search but could not find info on the OM601 injectors. Is it the same 27mm used for the OM617's? Thanks in advance. 1984 190D 2.2 (260,000km) 1992 300E (242,000km) |

Most likely it is. The 27 mm deep socket has worked for me on my 603 as well as the 617 & 616.

I use a Powerbuilt 1 1/16" deep socket that I picked up from Kragen. It's designed to remove a GM oil pressure sensor unit, but works perfectly for MB diesel injectors.

I am surprised at how rarely this engine is mentioned in this forum. There must not be very many of them around.

Thanks to all for your replies.
I will now be able to send out my injectors for rebuild and balancing. $65 CAD each at an authorized Bosch facility. |

Knowing the injectors on the 601 fit 27mm socket, what would be the main advantage to getting an actual injector socket versus the plain deep socket? I noticed that Snap-On sells a 27mm exclusively for MB & VW for $43.00 CAD. Of course a deep socket is only 10 bucks. In your experiences, is the injector socket worth the extra 30 bucks?
Thx, ARVY |

Plain deep sockets might not have enough clearance at the internal walls for the injector return line fittings. As I mentioned earlier, the Powerbuilt socket from Kragen/Autozone/other typical autoparts chain stores will work perfectly, and is inexpensive.

What speedy said. The more expensive deep sockets have beefier internal structure. Forget an impact socket. I used the cheapest deep socket I found at Home Depot. IIRC it was $5-6.
