How To Find Your Injector Part Number
If you are unsure what part number injector you have, you came to the right place. There are a few ways to determine which injector you have. Although online research will probably help you out, we encourage you to physically check the part number on your injector by removing it from the engine. Injectors can be swapped out by previous owners, and you may actually have an injector that did not originally come with the engine. This guide will show you how to check through online resources and then show you what to look for on the actual injector.
Please keep in mind that there is a BMW part number, and a manufacturer part number given by Bosch, Siemens, Deka, VDO etc. The part number that will be stamped on the actual injector will be the manufacturer's part number.
Online Research
If you have not removed the injector from your engine and want to know which injector originally came in your BMW, follow these steps.
1. Navigate to an online illustrated parts catalog. We prefer www.realoem.com
2. Choose the appropriate details of your car, including, series, body type, model, production month, engine, and transmission. When finished, hit browse parts.
3. Choose “Fuel Preparation System”
4. Choose “Fuel Injection System”
5. Search for the injector in the picture. In this case, it is #3 in the diagram. Scroll down to #3 and copy the part number.
6. Head to www.euroinjectors.com and paste the part number in the search box on top. You can see this part number is used for multiple engines. Click the appropriate injector rebuild kit for your engine.
Done, it's that simple.
How to Verify the Part Number On Your Actual Injector
1. Remove the injector from your engine by following the recommended manufacturer or Bentley manual instructions.
2. After you carefully removed the BMW injector, you will need to look on the top of the injector for the part number stamped into the plastic.
3. In this example, you can read “0280150440" This is the manufacturer part number, not the BMW part number.
4. Head to www.euroinjectors.com and paste the part number in the search box on top. You can see this part number is used for multiple engines. Click the appropriate injector rebuild kit for your engine.
This is best method to verify you are purchasing the correct rebuild kit as injectors could be possibly switched in your engine. If you have any questions or are still confused on which BMW injector kit to purchase, please contact us today for help!
