thanks for the responses, that makes a lot of sense that the injectors have the same bosch part no. and then the grading after - that allows for the mechanic's insistence that the correct bosch part was used.

Mike, the test was just a bottle test so no print outs, also nothing from the vehicle diagnostics and although I was originally told a new injector was fitted after checking again today I was told that it was not new but replaced with a reconditioned unit. When I quizzed why re-conditioned I was told "but they all are...".

Assuming this is indeed the problem I am surprised a volvo specialist is not on top of these issues.

I will book in to get the injector changed for a new volvo one and update - btw any idea how much I should pay for a new volvo injector?
