Important compatibility notes:
The OM651 engine may use different injectors depending on Euro standard (Euro 5 vs. Euro 6), power level, and injection system supplier (Bosch or Delphi).
A6510704987 is a Delphi‑compatible injector. It is a direct fit for vehicles that originally had Delphi injectors (part numbers starting with A651070...). For vehicles originally with Bosch injectors (e.g., 0445110xxx), this injector may NOT be plug‑and‑play – the ECU calibration and coding values differ. Always check your original injector part number or contact Rsolid support.
Injector coding (IQA) is mandatory for OM651 engines. Each injector has an IQA (Individual Quantity Adjustment) code printed on the body (a 6‑digit alphanumeric code). This code must be programmed into the ECU using a diagnostic tool (e.g., Xentry/DAS, Delphi diagnostic tool, Autel, Launch). Without coding, the engine will run roughly, produce smoke, and may go into limp mode.
For some Euro 6 OM651 engines (2014+), the system may require Injector ID verification – our technical support team can assist with the procedure.
3. Performance Advantages & Functional Improvements
Installing a premium aftermarket A6510704987 injector (Delphi compatible) from Rsolid Engine Parts delivers significant improvements over worn or poorly refurbished injectors:
Restored Power & Torque – OM651 engines are sensitive to injector wear. Old injectors develop internal leakage, reduced opening speed, and nozzle coking, leading to low power (especially at low RPM) and turbo lag. New injectors restore factory power (e.g., 150 kW / 204 hp for C250 CDI) and torque (up to 500 Nm). Customers report a 20% power recovery on high‑mileage vehicles.
Fuel Economy Gains – Worn injectors often cause over‑fueling or incorrect injection timing. Our precision‑calibrated injectors reduce fuel consumption by 6–12% in real‑world driving, saving hundreds of euros/dollars per year.
Smoke & Emissions Elimination – The 7‑hole asymmetrical nozzle produces extremely fine atomization (SMD < 20 μm), eliminating black smoke under hard acceleration and reducing particulate emissions. Helps clear MOT/emissions test failures.
Smoother Idle & Reduced Noise – New injectors restore precise pilot injection (pre‑injection) which dramatically reduces diesel knock and vibration. OM651 engines are known for rough idle when injectors age – our injectors make them “butter smooth”.
Excellent Cold Start Performance – Worn injectors cause long cranking times, especially below 5°C. Our injectors have fast solenoid actuation (≤0.25 ms rise time) and tight sealing, ensuring reliable starting down to -25°C.
Elimination of Common OM651 Injector Failures – This injector resolves:
High return flow (leaking needle seat) – common cause of “long crank” and fuel dilution of oil
Sticking solenoid (irregular misfire codes P0262–P0265)
Nozzle coking (uneven spray causing cylinder knock)
Copper washer leakage (combustion gases entering fuel system)
Compatibility with Biodiesel (B7, B10) – The hardened ball/seat and special needle coating resist corrosion and wear from modern biofuel blends, which are known to damage older injector designs.
Long Service Life – With proper fuel filtration (regular replacement of the OM651 fuel filter), these injectors can last 200,000 km+ in normal mixed driving.
Installation & Coding Instructions (Crucial):
Remove old injectors carefully – clean the bore thoroughly.
Always fit new copper sealing washers and new return line O‑rings.
Torque hold‑down bolt to 22–25 Nm + 90° (use an angle gauge).
After installation, prime the system (key on/off several times or use scan tool).
Start engine and check for leaks.
Injector coding is mandatory:
Write down the 6‑digit IQA code printed on each new injector.
Use a diagnostic tool (Xentry, Autel MaxiSys, Launch X431, or Delphi diagnostic).
Navigate to OM651 engine ECU (CDI4 or CDI4.1) -> adaptations -> injector coding.
Enter the 6‑digit code for each cylinder in the correct order.
Save and clear any fault codes.
Some ECUs require a “learn” drive cycle (10–15 minutes of mixed driving).
If your vehicle originally had Bosch injectors, coding may not be sufficient; the ECU software may need to be flashed – consult Rsolid support before purchase.
