Injectors for '72CSi needed

[Cyrich]

I am looking for a little help...

My CSi has been holed up in the shop for awhile due to 2 bad injectors. As part of my "lets get the car in good shape" plan they were sent off for cleaning/testing and two out of the six came back as non-salvageable.

If you have a set, or know of which direction I should head in, I would appreciate a PM.

Thanks,
Chuck

036 or 043.
Used, cleaned, rebuilt or new?
With or without hose or rubber bits?

 

[Cyrich]

Hmm, I don't know which number (036 or 043). From what I have learned so far it is the former. Let me double check on that and get back to you.

New would be great, but used/rebuilt would work. Is there much difference (other than price) between those choices? I could send them off to be cleaned if needed.

Are the rubber bits/hose intrinsic to the injector, or are they attached?

I profess to having a healthy amount of ignorance about these injectors. However, I am learning a lot and I appreciate your advice

Call Robert Jr. at 925-371-6551
Have the injector in your hand or the number off the injector written down.
Injectors w/o fuel lines and rubber bits are worthless. You need the whole package.

 

[Cyrich]

The injectors on my CSi are 043s.

What is the difference between the two? Is one harder to obtain or find a match?

Thanks,
Chuck

What did Robert say?
He is making me a set right now.

Alas, work got in the way today. I will reach out to Robert tomorrow and give you an update.

I appreciate all of the leads that have come my way. I am optimistic that I will find a some replacements

 

[Cyrich]

Don,

Thanks for the lead. I spoke with Robert and learned that they rebuild injectors at a reasonable cost. I have their address to mail off the two non-working ones.

In case one of them is not repairable, I am going to keep my eyes and ear open for additional ones.

Best,
Chuck

Thanks for the good advice. We had all 6 sent off for cleaning and testing and 4 came out in good shape.

That is good to know. My CSi is using the 0 280 150 043 injectors...however, I wonder if I had a set of six of the 036s if they would work with my fuel pump/ECU.


Also, in case people research this topic in the future and this thread pops up, here is the link to the company that Don is using/recommended for rebuilding a fuel injector.

I am going to send my two bad ones off to them to see what they can do.

Best,

Injectors

About ...036 and ...043:

-the flow spec is the same, only the rubber is another blend. I use to cut off the old rubber hose and fit a modern with a small clamp - works fine every time. BUT: the ...036 was originally made for MB with another edge on the hose side - but works fine for BMW as well.

BTW: the first Si/CSi had ...003 injectors - again, same flow spec, just another hose/hose fitting. Later in 1973 the ...015 injetor followed. The ...024 Volvo injector was the predecessor of the...036 injector and hence also fit.

Sum up: The BMW factory fitted injectors are:
...003 from start
...015 from June 73
...043 from May 75

The following fit as well:
...024
...036

Cheers

I am a bit confused with the coding/numbering of the injectors.
This is a picture of a spare I have. I get the 0 280 150 151. What does the 632 signify?
This doesnt seem to compute with the injectors mentioned.

Look one more time - directly after the 0 280 150 we all can see three more numbers in your picture you posted here.

This is L-jetronic injector for sure.

I replaced my injectors last year on my CSL because two were leaking intermittently. I don't know which ones were leaking, but two were 280 150 003 and four were 280 150 043.

I was getting ready to order six new ones from W&N for around $200 each (plus outrageous shipping ) after deciding the two leaking ones could not be rebuilt. Fortunately a forum member
offered me as set of six he had purchased from W&N and then decided to go a different route. He sold them to me at a discount from what he paid plus free shipping : $962 total or about $160 each.
They were in the box unused. . I didn't notice what the # on them is but, I have been happy with that choice.

If anyone wants my old set, make me a fair offer and ; you can have them . RB
