Technical Characteristics of the Injector
The presented injector belongs to the Injector Nozzles category and is designed for Diesel engines. It has been engineered for precise high-pressure fuel delivery, which is crucial for stable engine operation, smooth idling, and proper combustion across the entire load range.
A properly selected injector nozzle in the Mercedes W164 influences:
- uniform fuel atomization in the combustion chamber,
- maintaining the engine's proper power and torque,
- reducing smoke and performance loss during acceleration,
- stable cold starts and a lower risk of misfires.
Purpose and Compatibility
The Fuel Injector for Mercedes W164 has been developed as a component of the fuel system for this series' diesel engines. By using the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers (visible in the technical specifications), precise verification of compatibility with a specific engine version and vehicle year is possible.
Selecting the correct injector nozzle is particularly important in modern diesel engines, where:
- injection parameters are strictly linked to the engine control unit software,
- an incorrect part can cause diagnostic errors and trigger limp mode,
- design differences between variants can affect sealing and mounting.
Benefits of Using an Original Injector Nozzle
Choosing a used, original injector from a dismantled vehicle for your Mercedes W164 allows you to maintain the original performance parameters of the injection system. Compared to low-quality aftermarket parts, this component ensures:
- preservation of the original fuel delivery characteristic across the entire RPM range,
- better compatibility with the factory engine control unit and emission control systems,
- reduced risk of improper atomization, which can lead to excessive wear of pistons and valves,
- more predictable engine behavior after fuel system repair.
Diagnostics and Preventive Maintenance of the Injection System
When replacing an injector in a diesel engine, it's worth paying attention to symptoms typical of wear: uneven idling, increased fuel consumption, smoke, or characteristic knocking under load.
