ps - how can you adjust the pop pressure on an injector and would the timing of the engine need to be advanced or retarded to componsate? |
No, those are for Mercedes. The guy that operates that site is a known bad actor named Pete Rothenbacher who runs many sites under many different names (dieselvw.com, volkswaparts.com, hansautoparts.com, emiata.com, and a few others as well as an ebay store under the name "prothe"), all of them selling cheapo Chinese knock-off parts for VW diesels -- AKA, complete junk. His stuff has resulted in many VW diesels and TDI's biting the dust in both minor and major ways. You want to stay away from his stuff, no matter how good of a deal he seems to be offering.
Besides that, even if you are getting good quality parts, you do not want to put a Mercedes nozzle in your VW/D24T engine... they are designed for a different prechamber setup and will do serious damage if you match the wrong injector type with a VW prechamber. There is a reason there are different parts. If you want Monark nozzles, you should get the correct ones for the VW/Volvo application, meeting the Bosch DN 0 SD 293 equivalent spec.
All the info on the site you listed is wrong but somehow it gets repeated enough that people are starting to think it is right... Let me be completely clear so that nobody makes a mistake and damages their engine.
The DN 0 SD 265 spec is for MERCEDES and must not be used in a VW engine for any reason!
