Any way to tell bosch copies from originals?

[Jonas_R]

I bought a set of 440CC bosch injectors the old light green ones.

But is there anyway to see if they are original bosch items or copies?

Well it would help if you posted photos of the ones you have, preferably showing the Bosch PN (0 280....etc) on them.

Ofcourse they have the bosch pn

But I will take some pictures later today.

So better late then never

Here are some pictures of the new injectors I bought:








Here are some of my old injectors.



First thing that come to mind is that the new injectors dont have the same color hat and o-ring.

Also the hat seem to be deeper on the old injector compared to the new one.

Do you think they're fakes? My gut feeling is that they are, based on:-

-Ragged edges on the green moulding
-Green colour looks wrong
-Look like they've been brush painted
-Finally, all the genuine Bosch parts I've bought have come in a box like this, the new ones have a hologram sticker on too.



I've stopped buying Bosch parts from anybody but an authorised Bosch dealer, there are so many fakes around, especially Ebay

not authentic, don't even say bosch on them, bad copies.

The items you received there are genuine GM injectors (General motor items). If they have a Bosch type plug they may infact be genuine.

0280150558 = bosch part number, 105eur a piece. GM steal part numbers?

Compare prices.
