Ebay Injectors

[Bill312D]

I am having the common injector leaking issues on my Vito 110CDI. My local indy has quoted me £500-£600 but says he has a tool that will remove the injectors but also break them at the same time and if he has to use this i'll need to replace the injectors. This got me thinking, if he use this tool it must cut down on labour massivley. and i can get a pair of injectors off ebay for under £200. From what i can gather there isn't a problem with not replacing ll theinjectors at once.
But is finding the corect ones as easy as I think? Is it a case of buying anything that looks about right and is labelled for my vehicle? or have subtle changes been made over time which mean i am looking for a very specific part? I have the merc part numbe for the injecotrs for my van but all the ones on ebay are listed with a bosch part number, and i don't know how to find out the bosch part number for my van as the bosch website didn't seem too useful for it and i'm not to keen on ringing merc again as they only just gave me the mercedes part number. really, I'm looking for advice on how to work out what the bosch part number for my injectors is, or just a simple "yes, they havn't changed just buy some 110cdi injectors" sortof thing would be nice

Thanks, Bill

these numbers have changed so many times over the years, i change injectors every week but still cant keep on top of the numbers!! some have to be coded into the ecu for timings some dont, not sure how you can find out about the bosch numbers, never once had to use a slide hammer to remove one so you might be lucky, Shouldnt have said that!!!

whats a slide hammer? What can i leave to soak in around the injector to get it loosened up?
