Re: [MBZ] D-Jet Injectors
They are not really “rebuilt” as the things are pretty solid state and do not come apart. The process to renovate is to remove rust, put a fresh hose on top, and make sure the thing will squirt close to spec. Then they spray paint the lower part. Failures in my car have been to the plastic body where the power attached. After 40+ years it cracks and begins to spew fuel. With new units, the plastic should be new and each unit fully bench tested at the factory, not just hooked to a fuel hose on some table in China clay 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1986 SDL - Polei 1982 300 SD - Allen retired models- 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored crap 1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers > On Mar 17, 2018, at 1:36 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > You have 5 chances on a rebuilt before equaling the cost of a new one.

[MBZ] D-Jet Injectors
The stench of petrol is coming from under the hood of the SL. I looked and there are two very leaky injectors. I am not going to be driving, should the car decide to make itself on fire. Anybody know where to find 000 078 34 23? I need at least a pair.

Re: [MBZ] D-Jet injectors
I may have missed your answer the last time I asked you this, but out of curiosity: why are you replacing the D-Jet injectors? They generally don't fail. At most they should need a shot of injector cleaner or something to clean the pintle. It's the mechanical injectors that actually wear out. There are new (non-Bosch) drop-in alternatives available. I can dredge up the info if you're curious. There are other things on D-Jet systems that fail (the foil diaphragm in the MAP sensor, the TPS wiper assembly), but the injectors are no more likely to die than L-Jet injectors. D.
