Hi David,

Importec.com sells for $29 each. Good experience, rapid shipping. Note these are the "updated" brass ones, not the original metal.

Carl, the place i sugged also is for the updated version. YES, get the brass!!!!!

 

Yes, the brass ones are better!

 

I got mine from Importec for $22.15 last fall...they must have raised prices!

 

Hey guys,

As you know I'm having a major service done on my new 328 when it gets here. Does it makes sense to replace the injectors, at all of $240 in parts total? How intensive of a job is it? Preventative maintenance, or do you do this when you have a problem?

 

If the car is a "keeper", you may wish to go ahead a do this. I replaced mine in an attempt to correct a hot start issue. When the old ones were removed and tested, two were leaking, and two more were spraying in a straight pencil rather than cone pattern. I did notice the car was more responsive at over 4,000 rpm...maybe it was just my imagination, but it seemed much better responding at higher revs.

The labor to test them alone or to have refurbished is really not worth it, but if you are having a major anyway...what's another $250 to eliminate a possible problem in the future and have brand new, updated injectors (I don't think it was more than one hour to replace them. BTW, don't forget the rubber o-rings...just order the same black rubber ones used on a 78 Rabbit (about 20 cents each or so).

 

Mike...

Let me know if we can sell you the parts for the biggy service....

 

david s. -- Just do a parts search at the importec site using the Bosch PN 0437502047 that Steve R. gave -- but the part will be the exact same one as that from fuelparts (I too was surprised that the importec price had gone up somewhat significantly). Another option is HDRogers (or something like that), but time is $ . Do a search here and at the old site using that same Bosch PN -- you should get a lot of useful background and supplier information (like identifying the different injector mounting arrangements that were/are used on F posted by Ric Rainbolt IIRC).

 

Thanks to Steve Sherman who was researching injectors & came up with this site:

$19.99/injector!

 

Mike, if your car still has the original (steel) injectors, yes it really makes sense. I replaced mine last year, and did noticed the difference. Buy the new injectors from www.autohausaz.com, and also get new "O" rings (the green ones).

+1 on the GREEN "O" Rings , they are slightly harder to install but make a really tight seal that will last.
