Wow so obviously don't buy Bosch what brand would you recommend ? Also did you take them back to Bosch ?
In the past 30 years i have had no problems with Bosch GP's. This includes 5 diesel cars.
Champion are a no no.
The Jap or Taiwanese ones are very common but appear ok.
I normally get 5 to 10 years out of original GP's.
The VM starts mid winter with 3 good ones. When 2 are out & its cold, you will have a problem. Always have a couple of spares on hand.

interesting. thanks for the info, i was thinking of changing my glow plugs when i get the injectors tested as im pretty sure they are the originals. any recommendations on where to pick them up from ?
I ran mine for about 4,000km with #1 sensor open circuit. Tried the resistor thing ~ didnt do a thing.
If it was me, I would have it on a row rope. Did it a few times when my starter was crook.
yes agree I am currently driving limp mode till i replace sensor/injector 1 and I have been approx 3000k's like this so far I have cut the cord to the no1 sensor to try the resister trick but it works till about 5mins into your drive then back into limp mode so my sensor is totally detached from the wiring and still starts and the resistor trick does not work bite the cost heaps cheaper in EU
