One of my injectors is leaking. I figured I mind as well get a new set than replace one since it's old. Problem is, my mechanic nor I can find a set even non-oem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think I may have to get them from a junk yard and have them sent off for cleaning.
Thanks

Looks like Porsche still has them, but you wouldn't like the price of them. RockAuto also has them, but they don't appear to be Bosch, but aftermarket.

I called RockAuto and they said I need to send mine in to be done by them because they are out of them despite their online showing they have them in stock. Ya... Porsche wants $500 each I think it was? My mechanic said they were out of them though. I thought leaking injectors couldn't be fixed?

This is who I used to rebuild my Injectors, I think it was $15 a piece, they do a lot of the rebuild work for the chain stores and rockauto type places. I would give them a call and tell them what you got and if they think they can work with them.

I changed to new set of fuel injectors a couple of years ago.
First I tried a set of non-OEM. Very cheap, but the top of them were not correct so the fuel rail clips didn't fit. The supplier (i cannot remember name) claimed they should fit.
After driving for a while with "loose" fuel injectors, I replaced them with a set from Bosch. Those have the same Bosch part number as the OEM from Porsche, but to about the half price as OEM. And they fit perfectly. The original injectors are from Bosch so why pay double to just get the Porsche part number...?
I've done the same with some Bosch parts needed at my old Mercedes-Benz. Half price from Bosch compared to Mercedes.

You can buy the original Bosch fuel injectors. Bosch part number is 0 280 155 010.
The injectors are equal to the Porsche OEM with part number 944.606.130.00, but with Bosch packaging instead of Porsche.
A fraction of the Porsche OEM price which I believe is about $640 / each.
Google it, and you can find new original Bosch fuel injectors for
only $80 / each. If you need new parts, this is the best choice instead of taking the chance on unoriginal parts.
