Injectors for 1.7- advised replacements. Options

[914nb]

Hi all

After finding i have 4 seriously leaking injectors on a new purchase i need to think about replacements- i have had the original 4 looked at this morning at the local bosch authorised service centre and been advised they are scrap and cannot be rebuilt, he also noticed 2 have been previously sealed with superglue.

I appreciate after market replacements may give mixed reviews and opinions but for me if I have any chance of enjoying the car next spring will be my only option due to cost.

Can anyone recommend a cost friendly replacement injector?


From past searches iv seen talk of fj114s and fj6s but id like to know if anyone is using anything successfully they can recommend to me?

Please ignore my ignorance, while im capable of fitting parts im no mechanic and my skills are in body repair or were until fibromyalgia got in my path.

Many thanks,

Nathan

Just to add reman units are limited to no more than the injector clean/test guys do,if and injector has a poor spray pattern for example the pintel is rusted or leaking or the body is leaking....in the bin.
I have personally seen this process ,it starts off with ultrasonic clean after the first flow and leakage check,results are checked and if they don't reach Bosch service limits as said ...in the bin, have had great results with this process on my early BMW's,944's and lots of EFI Golfs.

I agree. I’ve sent a couple hundred to mr injector for this.

Thanks Mark ,what would your failure rate be over that many ?

A lot of them were 3.2 or 3.6 injectors. They are crazy expensive to buy new but I would say every 30 injectors would see 2 bad ones. Mr Injector sends a before and after flow test report, makes them look like new, includes new seals and hose and has very fast turn around. $17.50 each but doesn't charge for ones that don't work correctly. I have no affiliation other than a satisfied customer. I'm pretty sure it's just a one man show.

The car I sold Nathan had the injectors done a couple years earlier and I'm surprised that all 4 are toast but I let the car sit for too long and that is bad for Porsche.
