    Green top injectors.... CHINESE or what?

    Hey mates,

    I'm about to buy a set of 5 used 42lbs green injectors with (Bosch?) code: 0280150558 for just under €150.

    Writing it on google I get only chinese cheap ones. Any suggestions before I make the payment??

    Thank you!!

        Engine runs fine, so i cannot complain so far ... I got them from a big auto parts importer. They are dealing directly with Bosch.

                I remember there was a picture showing the chinese knock-offs and OEM bosch ones. If i recall correctly, bosch injectors only have one groove on the top, unlike chinese which have two.

                          These have two grooves. Looks like they are Chinese knock-offs.
