0986435204 Bosch Exchange Common Rail Injector (Remanufactured) 55219886 for Fiat Alfa Romeo Opel Ford Suzuki 1.3 MultiJet CDTI

Bosch Exchange 0986435204 remanufactured common rail injector (OE 55219886 for Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Opel and Vauxhall, 1980 EQ for Citroen and Peugeot) for the 1.3-litre MultiJet, JTD, CDTI, HDi, DDiS and TDCi diesel engine. Remanufactured by Bosch, supplied in the original Bosch Exchange packaging, made in Turkiye, and covered by a 1-year manufacturer warranty. This is an exchange part, so a refundable core charge applies and your old injector must be returned - see the core charge conditions.

A solenoid common rail injector meters and atomises the diesel delivered from the high-pressure rail, restoring the correct spray pattern, smooth idle, clean starting and proper fuel economy on the small 1.3 diesel engine. The Bosch internal type formula is BX CRI 2-16M2. This injector is not IMA coded, so no individual calibration code has to be written to the engine ECU after fitting.

Also known internationally as: Bosch Exchange Common Rail Injector (EN), Bosch Austausch Common-Rail-Injektor (DE), Injecteur Common Rail Echange Bosch (FR), Iniettore Common Rail Bosch Exchange (IT), Inyector Common Rail Bosch Exchange (ES), Injector Common Rail Bosch Exchange (RO) - Bosch 0986435204 for 1.3 MultiJet / CDTI / HDi diesel engines.

Key features

Product details

OEM cross-reference numbers

Compare your original injector number before ordering. The vehicle model alone is not enough to confirm fitment. These are the numbers that correspond to the Bosch Exchange injector 0986435204.

If you prefer a new unit rather than a remanufactured one, the new Bosch 0445110351 is the same injector supplied new in the sealed Bosch box, with no core to return. Identify the correct part by the number printed on your original injector rather than by the vehicle model.

Vehicle compatibility

Compatibility must always be verified by the original part number, OEM number, VIN or engine code. Model alone is not sufficient. The code in brackets after the model is the manufacturer's model type designation.

Alternative injector on some versions (not interchangeable): several versions of this 1.3 engine family were fitted with the Bosch 0445110183 instead, whose Bosch Exchange equivalent is 0986435102. On the Fiat Doblo and Doblo Cargo 1.3 MultiJet 66 kW (199 A3.000) this injector covers the versions with a start/stop system, while versions without start/stop use the other one. On the Ford Ka 1.3 TDCi this injector covers 11/2010 onwards, while earlier cars use the other one. Always confirm the correct injector by the number printed on your original unit, not by the vehicle model.

Compatibility note

The tables above are a fitment guide, not a guarantee. Vehicle manufacturers changed injector specification within the same model and engine according to production date, emissions stage and equipment level, including start/stop. Before ordering, read the Bosch number printed on the injector body of the unit you are replacing, or send us your VIN and we will confirm the correct part.

Shipping and warranty

Frequently asked questions

What does Bosch Exchange mean? Bosch Exchange is Bosch's own remanufacturing programme. The injector is returned to a Bosch plant, dismantled, cleaned, rebuilt with new wearing parts and then tested on the same equipment and to the same release specification as a new unit. It is not a third-party repair and it is not a used part sold as-is. Bosch sets out the process, the product families covered and the warranty position on its own site: Bosch eXchange programme.

How does the core charge work? A refundable core charge is added to your order in the cart, because the price of an exchange injector assumes your old unit comes back to Bosch to be remanufactured. Once we receive and accept your old injector, the core amount is credited back to you. The exact amount is shown in the cart, since VAT and currency differ by country. Full conditions are on the core charge page.

How do I get the core charge back? Send us your old injector within 15 calendar days of the invoice date. We check it against the Bosch return criteria, normally within 2 working days, and issue a credit note if it is accepted. The old unit must be complete, undamaged, drained and correctly packed; the acceptance conditions and the Bosch return-criteria documents are on the core charge page.

How do I know the Bosch 0986435204 fits my vehicle? Match the number on your original injector to one of the cross-references above (for example Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Opel or Vauxhall 55219886, Citroen, Peugeot or Opel 1980 EQ, GMC 95517513, Suzuki 15710-63P00, Ford 1723813 or BS51 9F593 AA), or check the compatibility table by engine code (199 A9.000, 199 B1.000, 199 B4.000, 199 B8.000, 169 A5.000, 263 A2.000, 312 B1.000, A 13 FD, FHZ, D13AA). If unsure, send us your VIN and we will confirm.

What is the difference between 0986435204 and 0445110351? They are the same injector in two conditions. 0445110351 is the new-part number, supplied new in the sealed Bosch box with no core to return; 0986435204 is the Bosch Exchange remanufactured version, supplied at a lower price against the return of your old unit. Both are listed under the GMC number 95517513. The new version is here.

Does this injector need to be coded after fitting? No individual injector calibration code has to be written to the ECU, because this injector is not IMA coded. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's procedure for any injector-related reset or adaptation the ECU requires after replacement, and have the work carried out by a qualified diesel specialist.

Is the sealing washer included? Yes. This Bosch Exchange injector is supplied with the nozzle sealing washer.

How many injectors does my engine need? The 1.3 MultiJet, CDTI and HDi is a 4-cylinder engine, so a full set is 4 injectors. Many workshops replace them as a set; contact us for set pricing.

Which common rail is fitted with this injector? Depending on the vehicle it is either the Bosch 0445214364 or the 0445214239, as listed in the related components section above. Identify the rail by the number stamped on the fitted part, not by the vehicle model.

Do you ship worldwide and how fast? Yes, we ship worldwide. Stock items benefit from same-day handling with tracked delivery.

Common symptoms of a failing common rail injector

On the 1.3 MultiJet, CDTI and HDi engine a worn or leaking injector typically shows as extended cranking or a no-start condition when cold, an unstable idle with a distinct diesel knock from one cylinder, loss of power, black or white smoke, higher fuel consumption, and stored injector-balancing or rail-pressure diagnostic trouble codes. A high back-leak on one injector can bleed rail pressure away and prevent the engine from starting at all, so the symptom often looks like a fuel supply fault rather than an injector fault.

A professional fuel-system test must be carried out before replacing any parts, to confirm the injector is the actual cause of the fault. Back-leak (leak-off) measurement on all four injectors, live rail-pressure data and injector correction values read with diagnostic equipment are what identify the faulty unit; replacing an injector on symptoms alone frequently leaves the original fault in place. This also matters for the core: an injector removed for the wrong reason is still consumed as a core once it is fitted.

Installation and system check

Before any injector is fitted, the fuel system must be checked for contamination. This applies unconditionally, whatever caused the original fault, because a remanufactured injector installed into a contaminated system fails again in a short time.

Check the fuel filter and its housing, and the inlet screens of the solenoid valves on the high-pressure pump and on the rail (fuel metering unit and pressure regulating valve). This is where debris collects and where sticky deposits show first. Affected components are cleaned or replaced as required, including the tank, feed and return lines, filter housing and filters, rail and high-pressure pump; high-pressure lines and connector tubes are replaced, not cleaned. Finish with a flush, new filters and bleeding according to the manufacturer's procedure.

Metallic debris from a failing high-pressure pump is only one cause. Poor-quality or contaminated diesel is just as common, typically from improper fuel storage, tanks that are not cleaned periodically, or contaminated containers used for refuelling.

Carry out all testing required to establish that the injectors are the actual cause of the fault before replacing any part. Fitting an injector into a system that has not been decontaminated produces repeat failure within a short period and is not covered by warranty.
