0986435248 Bosch Exchange Common Rail Injector (Remanufactured) 504389548 for Iveco Daily Fiat Ducato 2.3

Genuine Bosch Exchange 0986435248 common rail injector, remanufactured by Bosch (Iveco and Fiat OE 504389548, Iveco 5801594342, Citroen 1609097280), for the 2.3-litre and 3.0-litre FPT F1A, F1C and F1AGL diesel engines fitted to the Iveco Daily, Fiat Ducato, Citroen Jumper and Peugeot Boxer. This is the current Bosch Exchange number: 0986435212 has been discontinued and replaced by 0986435248, and the two are interchangeable. Supplied in the sealed Bosch box, remanufactured in Turkiye, with the nozzle sealing washer included and a 1-year manufacturer global warranty. A refundable core charge applies and is added in the cart - see the core return conditions.

This is a solenoid-actuated Bosch BX CRI 2-16M2 injector. It meters and atomises diesel directly into the combustion chamber at common rail pressure, on timing and quantity commanded by the engine ECU, which is what restores smooth idle, clean combustion and correct fuel consumption on a worn engine. The part number is supplied without an individual injector accuracy (IMA) correction code, so there is no code laser-marked on the body to write into the ECU after fitting.

The brand-new equivalent of this injector is Bosch 0445110520, which carries no core charge.

Also known internationally as: Bosch Exchange Common Rail Injector (EN), Bosch Exchange Common-Rail-Injektor (DE), Injecteur Common Rail Bosch Exchange (FR), Iniettore Common Rail Bosch Exchange (IT), Inyector Common Rail Bosch Exchange (ES), Injector Common Rail Bosch Exchange (RO) - Bosch 0986435248 for Iveco Daily and Fiat Ducato 2.3.

Key features

Product details

OEM cross-reference numbers

Compare your original part number before ordering. Vehicle model alone is not enough to confirm compatibility. On this injector the Iveco number 5801594342 is laser-marked on the top face, next to the electrical connector.

Vehicle compatibility

Compatibility must always be verified by the original part number, OEM number, VIN or engine serial number. Model alone is not sufficient, because the same vehicle was built with different injector variants depending on emissions stage, power rating and production date.

Technical information

Related diesel fuel system components

These are the components that work alongside this injector on the same fuel system. Manufacturers used different variants depending on engine build, power rating, emissions stage and production date, so another code may be the correct one for your engine. Identify each part by the number on the fitted component, not by the vehicle model.

Shipping and warranty

Frequently asked questions

What does Bosch Exchange mean? Bosch Exchange units are remanufactured in Bosch factories from returned cores. The injector is fully dismantled, all wear parts are replaced, and the finished unit is calibrated and tested on the same equipment and to the same tolerances as a new Bosch injector, which is why it carries the same warranty. You can read how the programme works on the official Bosch Exchange page.

Is 0986435248 the same injector as 0986435212? Yes. Bosch has discontinued the Exchange number 0986435212 and replaced it with 0986435248. Both carry the same OE numbers and the same applications, so 0986435248 is the part to order now.

How does the core charge work? A refundable core deposit is added to your order in the cart. It exists because Bosch remanufactures these injectors from returned units, so your old injector has to come back into the loop. The amount is shown in the cart, not here, because VAT and currency differ by country.

How do I get the core charge back? Send your old injector back within 15 calendar days of the invoice date. We check it within two working days, and if it meets the acceptance conditions you receive a credit note for the deposit. The full conditions, including what makes a core unacceptable, are on the core charge page.

Should I buy the remanufactured or the new injector? Both are Bosch-built and carry the same one-year warranty. The remanufactured 0986435248 costs less but requires you to send back your old injector; the new Bosch 0445110520 costs more and has no core to return. If your old injector is seized in the head, damaged or already gone, the new part is the practical choice.

Is my OE number 504389548 or 5801594342 the same part? Yes, both are original-equipment numbers for this injector: 504389548 is the Fiat and Iveco number, 5801594342 is the Iveco, Case New Holland and Lancia number. On the injector itself, 5801594342 is laser-marked on the top face next to the electrical connector. The older Iveco references 500060538, 500061268 and 500061564 also resolve to this injector.

Does this injector have to be coded after installation? No individual injector accuracy (IMA) code is supplied with this part number, and there is no correction code laser-marked on the body, so nothing has to be typed into the ECU. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's normal procedure for resetting injector adaptation and learned values after replacement.

Is the nozzle sealing washer included? Yes, one nozzle sealing washer is supplied with each injector. Always fit the new washer rather than reusing the old one, and torque the injector clamp to the manufacturer's specification.

How many injectors do I need? The 2.3-litre F1A and the 3.0-litre F1C are four-cylinder engines, so a complete set is four injectors. This listing is for one injector, and a core charge applies per injector.

Does it fit the Citroen Jumper and Peugeot Boxer 2.3? Yes. The Bosch catalogue lists this Exchange number for the Jumper and Boxer 2.3 HDi in both the 81 kW F1AE0481C version built from 02/2002 to 05/2006 and the 93 kW F1C version built from 03/2012 onwards. The matching Citroen number is 1609097280.

Do you ship worldwide? Yes, we ship worldwide.

Common symptoms of a failing injector on the F1A and F1C engines

A worn injector on these engines usually shows itself as a lumpy or rattling idle when cold, a distinct knock from one cylinder, hard starting, white or black smoke, and higher fuel consumption. On the Iveco Daily and Fiat Ducato the ECU typically logs cylinder-specific fuel quantity correction or rail pressure regulation faults rather than a plain injector code, so a fuel return (leak-off) test across all four injectors is the fastest way to find the faulty unit before ordering. Contaminated or watered diesel is the most common cause of nozzle and control-valve wear on this family, so replace the fuel filter and check rail pressure at the same time. Keep the old injector intact and free of hammer or extractor damage to the body, because a damaged core can be refused when you return it.

Before installation

Before the new injector is fitted, the fuel supply system must be checked for contamination. Rust, water, sludge or varnish-like deposits, metallic debris or any other contaminant left in the tank, supply and return lines, filter housing or rail will damage the new injector within a short service period, and that damage is not covered by the warranty. Inspect and decontaminate the system, renew the filters and confirm that the fuel is clean before installation.
