I just wanted to know what to do should the shop suggest I replace the nozzles and what nozzles should I have in mind if it comes to that.

As I said, a Bosch shop will only use genuine Bosch nozzles which were OE for the car...if you were happy with the way it performed then why switch? After all, they do last a long, long time.

For a car using those injectors, are not the same as what came off the assembly line. Today, Bosch - Germany only builds large industrial and CDI injectors. The 'S' type replacements (that most of us here use-61X, 60X) are made in India, Brazil or China. Because of some of the labeling laws in the EU, not all of them will be so clearly labeled. If you are not brand loyal to Bosch there are some options from other German companies, Meyle, Kobenschmidt-Pierburg (now owned by Reinmetal) and Monark to name a few. That I know of, Monark is the only one of the three that design and make their diesel parts in Western Germany (Hamburg) and some of their electrical parts come out of England.
