Signs You Need a Replacement

If your equipment is showing any of these symptoms, the injectors & nozzle may be the cause:

• Rough idle or misfire — Uneven fuel delivery from a worn injector causes the engine to shake at idle. On engines, this is often accompanied by a knocking sound under load.
• Black or white exhaust smoke — Black smoke means excess fuel; white smoke indicates incomplete combustion. Both point to injector spray pattern degradation.
• Loss of engine power — A single failing injector reduces cylinder output. Multi-cylinder engines lose noticeable power when one injector flows less than the rest.
• Increased fuel consumption — Poor atomization means the engine burns more fuel to produce the same power. Monitor your fuel burn rate as an early warning sign.
• Hard starting or no start — If the injector doesn’t deliver fuel on cranking, the cylinder won’t fire. This is especially common in cold weather with worn nozzles.
• Fuel in engine oil (dilution) — Fuel leaking past the injector seat seal contaminates the crankcase oil. If the oil level rises or smells of diesel, inspect the injectors immediately.

Replace as a Set

Replace all injectors as a set whenever possible. On engines, mixing old and new injectors creates uneven fuel delivery — the new injectors compensate for the worn ones, shortening their life. When installing, use new copper sealing washers and torque to the specification in the service manual. After installation, run the engine at idle for 5 minutes to bleed air from the fuel system, then check for leaks at each injector connection before putting the machine under load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my Mercedes S500?
Yes. This part is designed to fit the Mercedes S500, S420, E420, E500 among other models listed in the compatibility table above. Verify your specific model and engine code before ordering to ensure the correct fit.

Can I cross-reference 0280155217 with 0280155218?
Yes. Both 0280155217 and 0280155218 are interchangeable OEM numbers for this part. They refer to the same component with the same specifications, just different part number revisions.

My engine code is SL500 with a 4.2L displacement – is this the right part?
Yes. Engine code SL500 with 4.2L displacement is within the supported range for this part. The full list of compatible engine codes includes: SL500. Confirm your engine code on the data plate attached to the engine block.

This listing is for 8 pieces – do I need to buy a full set?
This listing includes 8 units. For best results, replace all injectors at the same time rather than one at a time. Mixing old and new units causes uneven fuel delivery and shortens the life of the new parts.
