Where are we at with fuel injectors and availability these days for a DJ engine.

I suspect I have one that is not happy.

0 280 150 206 is the original part no.

People talk of alternatives but they seem to be drying up also.

www.injectorcleaning.co.uk in Hull seem to have a defective website at present.

Not used them myself for cleaning. But these might be worth trying. https://www.unitedperformance.co.uk/

They seem to be available??

Thanks for the links. I had spotted these

The green one is made by DF or Defus. A Chinese manufacturer, carries the Bosch part no but is not an original.

The yellow Bosch units are 0 280 150 711. Originally intended for SAAB I think. I believe the flow rate is higher which would lead to a richer mix.

The DJ doesn't have a lambda sensor so couldn't adjust the injection time for the richer air/fuel mix.

Many used HGL in Hull for cleaning but I can't contact them via their website.

Email them. I sent a few sets to them on a clean only basis (fitted FKM hose myself) a while ago, they returned everything dead or alive.

On the wbx6 I have fitted EV14 (?) modern type fogger nozzle injectors by Injector Rehab, but that ecu has a lambda sensor. Bought theough BW.

Do you have an email or contact no. I haven't found anything yet? Matt

I last used them in 2019

but the website being down suggests he no longer in business

Now if someone wants to be enterprising they could get a little ultrasonic cleaner and spray testing machine set up in their shed...

You have got me thinking there Ian. This should do the job methinks. AUTOOL CT160 Petrol Fuel Injector Tester Machine Ultrasonic Cleaner 4 Cylinders | eBay

Saw that myself the other day! I've located a couple of places here in Northern Ireland so may give them a try.

Chinglish text and if you scroll far enough they say shipped direct from PRC
I'm not surprised at that price.

I didn't notice that. It seems everything comes from there nowadays.

I have a spray tester and an ultrasonic cleaner at work. Might give it a try on my spare set of MV injectors if I can work out what potions and lotions to use.

If you're still stuck, might be worth sending a message to Marco at Mansispeed:
