Default Don't buy Deatschwerk injectors.

My deatschwerk injectors just failed a little over 2 years causing misfiring. After checking the code it came out to be cyclinder 1 misfiring, changed the coil pack and the spark plug to another cyclinder, same misfire in cyclinder 1.

I called the tuning shop I frequent Hill's Garage in Baltimore, MD(which is an awesome shop and one of the best around the area) and told them I think my fuel injector just went. They told me to bring it in and told me that lately a lot of the Deatschwerk injectors have been failing. They ordered a set of new injectors from them for another car and the injectors came in a Deatschwerk box but they were Bosch injectors.

Long story short try to go with Bosch or RC injectors, I'm out 1k because of new injectors and needing a retune.

I've never used them but it seems like these guys have got some work to do. It takes a shorter amount of time for bad news to travel about a product than good news.
