In addition to the amount of fuel injected and the injection time, the
shape and alignment of the fuel jet is also important.
Retainers For Fuel Injectors
The four retainers -NH- for the two injectors ensure the following:
• Installation as a pre-assembled unit with injectors installed.
• Twist-lock protection for screwing on fuel lines.
• Exact installation position for aligning the fuel jet in the combustion
chamber.
• Correct pretensioning of the fuel injectors in the cylinder head.
• Vibration damper for reducing the transmission of vibrations from the
cylinder head to the injectors.
S - Spray angle (taper angle of the fuel jet,
approx. 69° on the naturally aspirated engine,
68° on the turbo engine).
B - Bend angle (distance between the injection jet
and the axis of the fuel injector; approx. 8.5°
on the naturally aspirated engine, approx.
7.5° on the turbo engine).
