Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Injection Nozzles
Bosch injection nozzles are used for all models. All nozzles are similar in appearance. Different part numbers and injection pressures for each application must be verified before servicing.
A pressurized mist of fuel is injected into a round swirl chamber. Fuel swirls around the chamber, mixing with hot air that is compressed to a ratio of 23:1. Heat shields protect each injector.
Combustion begins in the rich swirl chamber, continues on through a small passageway, and then into a leaner main chamber. As peak cylinder pressures build in swirl chamber, rather than main chamber, loads on connecting rods and crankshaft are reduced.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
