I recently replaced the last three injectors in my 1984 300cd with Bosch injectors that were remanufactured in India. I bought them from ******** AZ where I had purchased the other two injectors. The prvious two were made in France and ran very smoothly. I had read on here that the Indian injectors were crap, but assumed that some of the reports were biased. Well, the reports were quite accurate and I shouldn't have second guessed them!!! Soon after installing them my car became more noisy and skipped on startup.
This weekend I drove my car around 200 miles at 75mph. After arriving at my destination the car now runs smooth and only skips slightly on startup. The driving must have cleaned out the nozzles somewhat! However, I still plan on replacing the nozzles with "good ones". By the way ******** AZ said they will replace the injectors with no questions asked, and that they have not heard of my problem before!! I can't complain about their customer service by any means.
On Monday I ordered injectors from Performance products and when I unwrapped the injectors they were from India too!! I plan on returning them tomorrow.
Where can I purchase injectors made in France or Germany? Has anyone been able to find these? If I can't find them can I just rebuild the Indian made injectors with Bosio Nozzles or will they still be crap? Is there a reputable rebuilder online or on this board?

What should I do?????
Please help
Thanks in advance

do a pop test and spray pattern test and rebuild if needed

Search user Kerma. Good press so far, haven't used him myself.

Consider keeping your present injectors and replacing the nozzles with Bosio nozzles. We just started getting some feedback on these and, so far, the info has been positive.

Diesel Giant can supply them.

So is the problem with the Indian made injectors on the nozzle or is the rest of injector crap as well?
Thanks

I was wondering that as well, then again the injectors don't usually seem to be replaced right? Just the nozzles?
