Hello All,
I need to replace a couple of leaky injectors on my '74 1.8 and wondered if anyone has used an aftermarket injector with success/failure or heard of anyone who has. A knowledgeable friend recommended that I stick with NOS Bosch. Stoddard sells injectors and the salesperson told me that their part number supercedes the Bosch number, but I am unsure about that and they were unable to tell me who manufacturers them or the country of origin. Any thoughts? Thanks, James |

Thanks to all of you for your input. I am not sure about the missing ceramic anti-fouling tip if that will be a possible problem. I also wondered if a new injector is upgraded technology as opposed to an NOS injector that is older and also been sitting around for who knows how long. The fact that the Stoddard VW p/n cross references to the Bosch was helpful. The Stoddard FIs have a year warranty. I am going to give them a try and see how it goes.
