Re: Bosch common rail injector overhaul (excess leakoff)
Roy Ritchie
Hi Martin spoke to my mate who has the Bosch Diesel Center and told him to look at your response. To say he was not happy was an understatement. As a Bosch master tech he finds it insulting to say he was cutting corners to do them at that price. He tells me he runs 6 light vehicle injectors at time for most makes and has a second bench running commercial injectors which are alot more expensive as he can only do one at a time and is in the process of ordering an eps 200 to do the none coded injectors so he can free up the second 815 for doing 6 at a time.At £540 every 6 he does and over £20,000 a week for the bench he says he's more than happy with his £120,000 original investment. As for cost of parts he says due to the volume he produces he gets a huge saving on parts from bosch. He also tells me Bosch have released full parts including body's and control valves which was the only down side with repairing crin 2.1 and 2.2 as this was a common failure and in the past was a bin job but unfortunately the new measuring equipment to do the job correctly is another £30,000 invetment but will still be doing them for under £100 each remember the price is + vat hope this calms him down Roy....
