Echlin injectors

I'm in the market for a new injector to just replace one original one that is going out. Napa has an echlin with a three yr warranty. Anybody ever use these and are they worth buying?

I'd be kind of wary of buying common rail injectors from NAPA. I would try to get a Bosch

I'm pretty sure Bosch is the only manufacturer of CR injectors...its probably a rebranded remanufactured Bosch injector. There is a shortage of "true" new injectors from what I've read...

I would stay away from those injectors or any type of remand common rail injectors. They seem to have a high failure rate when compared to new.

But you can't get new. All you can get is remanufactured. These are the same price as reman bosch, but these have 36month or 36k mile warranty. Vs Bosch one year.
