My v reg 310d Sprinter has a fault code b27 its the front injector with the sensor .They cost an arm and a leg !!Does anyone know of an affordable source for one? Bosch part 0432193637 thanks

Get yours refurbed ?

Try dieseljones or dieselbob

Both around 100 quid.

Be careful though – other things can make injectors throw that code- not mercedes versed but pug dw8s throw injector codes when the crank sensors dying

Oh and for mercedes – any black death round the injectors be very very careful getting them out….you may find ey are stuck fast/siezed- thats one thing mercedes are notorious for..

Must be loads around these days, ssangyongs even use the same engine, does it have to be programmed though?

There was a common fault on merc injectors a few years ago, a customer had a new merc fridge van, injector went, he lost the engine power for fridge compressor lost a load of food, merc replaced it, but refused to replace the other 3 until they packed up, one by one, and he had to claim for loss of food from his insurance.

Result he bought a different brand of van

New on eBay £140.

It is a lot of money, but better than the £400 each for my Delphi injectors in my car.

Not seen mine for £140 more like £300 + have you a link there are so many different ones .Mine is the old 5 cylinder 2.9 engine .Apparently these injectors are in w210 diesel estates as well

It doesnt need programming on this model so ive been told

Mine is this one though !! nearly 500 quid

Edric, my apologies it seems they are different part numbers, would be worth contacting them though.

The injector on the old 310D is different to the cdi injectors and they don’t suffer with the carbon and seizing like the cdi ones do.
Your best bet would be one of the injector specialists that recondition them, they’re never cheap though.
