Experience with rebuilt injectors?

Post by Pete K »

Anyone have experience using rebuilt injectors? Our M535i needs "new" injectors and they are about $350 in Australia. I can get a set of rebuilt ones from the US for $300 for the six. The ones I found are from BWD.

Anything good or bad?

Thanks

Maybe do a Google search of the archives, and your location may effect costs, availability for shopping.

I'd not heard of rebuilt injectors, unless they're the same as cleaned and tested. I've heard of services that do that. I've heard of submitting a bunch to be cleaned, tested and flow matched, the best six, etc.

A family shop has an injector cleaning machine that supposedly works great with the engine in the car. Heavier duty than the bottle of sauce in the gas tank.
