The Monark nozzles #120 are all gone, never to be remade. We do have a few hundred #128 nozzles still available. Kent and Kaia got together and started questioning why they would not work in the OM616 and OM617 engines. So in May of 2024 Kent decided to put them to the test. Watch the video below so you can decide whether or not these nozzle are for you.
Product Details
FREE full replacement and testing manual included in PDF fromat. Fits the following: All 4-cylinder diesel engines from 1968 to 1985, including 201 Chassis 190D 2.2. This is the critical inside wear part of the injector that delivers the fuel spray into the cylinder.
These are direct replacement nozzles for your factory Bosch Fuel Injectors. You can replace just the nozzle for better fuel economy, more power, easier starts, and less exhaust smoke. 12-month warranty provided by Mercedessource when all assembly precautions are followed (as detailed in included instructions).
We want to help you get your diesel performing better. If your injector tips are worn out here are my recommended replacements. These injector tips are made in Germany by the highest machining standards and they are designed with a finer mist pattern than that produced by the Bosch tips. My experience has shown that these tips work better (fuel burn) especially on higher mileage diesels with less than perfect compression numbers. On my own diesels I have also noticed less injector nailing (pinging noise) with these tips installed. Always replace the crushable heat shield washers when replacing your fuel injectors.
PLEASE NOTE: Our written and video instuctions as well as our older YouTube videos will refer to these nozzles as Monark. They are no longer being sold under the Monark name, but are the exact same nozzle as we have sold over the years.
Partial instructions are included - covers installing new nozzles in injection holders - but does not cover removal from engine or injector pressure balance testing.

Ideally you should pressure test and set the correct release pressure when installing new tips. If there is a Bosch repair facility near by you can have them do this testing/adjusting for you. You can install these tips without checking adjustment and in many cases they will fall into an acceptable pressure/spray pattern range. This might be preferable to badly worn out fuel injectors - but best to test pressures and balance injectors if you can.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS NEEDED: Anytime you remove and replace your injectors you must replace the heat shield washers under the tips. You will also more than likely need to replace the rubber fuel return hoses connected to the injectors. Trying to reuse the old hardened hoses almost always result in leaks. We sell the injector return line in the factory braided style,, as well as in viton for biodiesel.
I recommend you have a torque wrench handy when rebuilding your injectors. If not we offer one at a great price. look below in related products to order.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: You will need some fine sandpaper to lap in your injector parts during rebuild. We have a kit available separately that will assure your injector halves don't leak when you put them back together. Instructions and tips are included. (listed below in realted products)
Note: This kit can also be used to fix a pesky leak on your existing injectors
WARNING:
The health and longevity of your new injector nozzles with be directly affected by the cleanliness of your diesel fuel and its lubricity. Any gunk or crude in your filters or injection pump could travel to the new nozzles and cause scoring leading to premature failure (our warranty does not cover nozzle tip scoring). The following procedures are a MUST with installing new nozzles:
1. Diesel Purge
Run at least one can (two if you have never done it) of diesel purge through your fuel injection system before removing your old injectors.
2. Change Filters
Change both your pre and main fuel filter. (use the search box and enter fuel filter)
3. Use Fuel Additive
The new ultra low-sulfur (ULSD) diesel fuel available at the pumps is not kind to mechanical fuel injectors. The sulfur was the key ingredient used to keep your fuel pump and fuel injectors lubricated. To protect your new nozzles we recommend you add a high grade fuel additive to your fuel (such as Lubro-Moly Diesel Hi-Test)
