99 VR6 AES fuel injectors

 

Good morning all,
?
I have a 99 with VR6 12 valve AES engine.? I had a fuel injector crap out on me over the summer.? I have pretty much quit using the van since then, but I need to get the van back on the road here soon.? So I am faced with the dilemma of just replace one injector or replace all 6?? I have replaced some in the past with used injectors.? This one that failed was replaced once already with a used one, about 7 -10 years ago.? You get into needing new o rings etc and all of that adds up if just replacing one injector.? Plus, when is the next high mileage injector going to fail?
?
I am a little bit sick over the price of a set of new injectors from FCP Euro.? A set of six, stock Magneti Marelli injectors is upwards of $700.? But to replace one on the van that has had several used ones used to replace bad ones in the past, and I am at 240K miles, I feel like maybe the best option is to replace all six with new injectors.
?
Does anyone know of a new set available for private sale?? Maybe in your stash and you have moved up to a 24 valve engine?? I know it is a long shot.
?
Let me know on any advice you have relating to this subject.? I have changed them before and I will do it again this time.? It is not a super huge job but a big enough job that I am not sure that I want to do it again after this.
?
Thanks,
?

maybe send them to someone who cleans and services them?? I sent my Vanagon injectors to Mr. Injector in Idaho and they were tested and cleaned and are still running well 10's of thousands of miles later.? One of the 4 I sent was tested bad so I just replaced that one.? His fee was very reasonable and quick turnaround.

Not sure on the VR6 though.? I haven't hit that snag yet on mine but I would probably do the same and send them for service.?

As an alternative, we have aftermarket ones for half the price ($59 each, so $354/set). If you email me directly I can give you an additional 5% off discount code, bringing it down to $336 . We've only offered them for a few years so I can only speak for our experience over that window of time, but we have not had any warranty claims or reported failures so far.

That is for sure an option.? I know for sure one is bad, and I may do this once I get it apart to see what I am working with.
 

Ron,
?
I appreciate the quick response.? I am a little bit nervous about the aftermarket injector.? But it does sound good.? I may need time time to digest that.? I do know that a lot of other parts are made at the same place and just get the OEM name removed.? I appreciate you bringing that option to my attention.? I am leaning towards the idea of all new injectors.
?
Thanks again.
