Hi Steve,
Sorry about that, a little too late and I didn't notice that the numbers were identical.
Oh well,
Grant |

Grant,
Obviously the brass Bosch is what is in the 1985 Euro 308GTS QV that is my daily driver. Works fine here :-)
Enjoy the Drive,

My understanding is that you should switch from the stock steel injectors to the better brass injectors: Bosch 0 437 502 047.
I haven't confirmed this but maybe someone in this group can.

Michael,
The previous owner of the 1985 308GTS QV used:
Fuel Injection Warehouse
http://www.fuelparts.com
(310) 530-4947
Part number: 0437-502-047 $25 each
Can runs like a champ. Remember to add Techron in your gas tank every few thousand miles. Hope this helps.
Enjoy the Drive,

Hi all.
Thanks for the plug Matt - however ours are �21 each so probably better getting them locally.
Cheers |

I've heard of places that will clean AND balance your injectors. I can't remember the name right now (and may never will), I've got a carbed car. |

Considering the minimal difference in cost between cleaning and replacing, it seems prudent to always replace suspect fuel injectors... |

I found injectors at Importec.com. They were $21.15 each with free 2 day shipping. I had them in 52 hours. Just type in the bosch number. You might want to get new o-rings, also.
I don't know if your car uses the sane as mine. I have a 85 QV. I'll double check the numbers and get back with you. |

These are just Bosch injectors, same as on a M-benz, volkswagon, Porsche, etc. Take the part number off of the old injector and call a Bosch dealer,or auto parts jobber that deals in bosch parts. They should beable to get the injectors for you. My guess is about 20-25 bucks a piece. |

i have a 1983 308 gtsi and i previously had problems with the way it was running. thanks to the help that the people on this page gave me i was able to determine that it was a problem with the fuel injectors. i took them out and had them cleaned at the local ferrari dealership. they still dont work the way they should, so i was wondering if anybody had any ideas about where i would be able to purchase the necessary injectors and maybe even the part number. i have checked the ferrari dealership and they probably charge more than most places because it is the dealership. thanks for your help,again. |
