wcrado 0 Posted September 16, 2005 I recently bought merc e190 injectors on the advise of this forum, i needed new ones and the merc ones are cheaper, better spray pattern etc. what i was wondering was, on the standard KR bosch injectors you have a little metal cap on the bottom with just a little hole for the fuel to jet out of. What is this for, and do i need to swap them over on to the merc injectors? obviously the merc ones didn't come with them, but that doesn't really make me certain about whether or not i need them. also, if i do need them, can i just swap them around from my standard injectors, or do i have to buy them new? No advice from any guessers please!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h100vw 0 Posted September 16, 2005 MK1 s never had them but most 16Vs I have seen did. I think they are supposed to help with atomisation. I'd try them without first though. Don't chuck the old injectors just in case. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcrado 0 Posted September 17, 2005 cheers. just thought that if they are anything to do with the spray patten then surely they won't be needed on the merc injs, as they are supposed to have a better spray pattern. if i fitted them then they would have the same spray pattern as the standard ones. the ends of the merc injs are cone-shaped, whereas i don't think the 16v ones are. anyone else know for sure?

keithmac 0 Posted September 18, 2005 When my mk2 golf was on k-jet I fitted a set of merc injectors to it, the top hats had an `o`ring groove in them, I pressed them on to the new injectors to retain this `o`ring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 19, 2005 I always used Porsche 944 injectors in my modded valvers, similar price to the OE K jet ones but better flow rate and superior fogging. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
