Fake bosch injectors, careful

[ptscon]

If you're shopping for the popular bosch injectors on eBay be careful. I'm seeing more and more fakes sold as authentic even by sellers with 17,000+ feedback. Not the Doo kits but as stand alone injectors being sold. Unless you've handled these a lot you probably wouldn't be able to tell from pictures since they look pretty good. Stick to complete Doo kits, I bet those fakes have a garden hose flow pattern and who knows about flow volume.

Dangerous.

They are even cheaper off aliexpress im sure.

so how would you even know the difference between fake and real ones? is there any markings or anything that person could see on the injector?

Best way to avoid fakes is to buy complete kits from reputable sellers. If you're trying to buy individual injectors you're taking a risk, fakes can improve and what looks fake today may not look fake tomorrow.

They've gotten pretty clever with fakes recently.
