Customer Reviews

Very clearly written

I used this book (with bentley factory manuals) to replace the KE motronic (continuous injection) FI system which came stock on an audi engine with a LH jetronic (pulsed injection) FI system. This book is excellent--easy to read, well illustrated, detailed, and methodical. I'd recommend it to people interested in knowing how FI systems work--they're really fascinating--as well as to people who just can't resist opening Pandora's box. It does not cover reprogramming ECU's, but that's a subject of it's own anyway.

Very good book

I bought this book as a companion to my VW Vanagon book. Since I was new to fuel injection, and the Vanagon book had little/no troubleshooting information, I was completely stumped with fuel injection/ignition problems after a major overhaul of my '85 waterboxer engine. The Bosch book was a life saver. Not only did I (quickly) get my engine running, but I now understand how the whole thing works. Even for people who don't have Bosch systems and want to learn how fuel injection works, this is a good book.

A Must Have for All Mechanics

I have been trying to fine tune my VW's and Audi's for the past 2 years to factory specs. I wasnt very succesfull. I then read a few reviews for this book and decided to get it. It is the second best book I have (first being the Bentley Manual) for my cars. I took my cars to several mechanics to try and get them back to factory specs but they never could do it and charged outrageous amounts. After reading this book I was able to get everything set back to specs and things are running great. Any Do-it-yourself and all foreign car garages should have this book available to them. BUY IT AND YOU WONT BE SORRY!!!!

F.I. Bible

Whether your car be Japanese. German, American or what ever, chances are its injection system is licensed from Bosch. This book covers electronic, mechanical and everything in between; as far as cars go. I've used it on my BMW, Mercedes< and Chevrolet, and I'm a beginner as far as fuel injection goes. Clear, concise, and written for the laymen as well as for the technician. This is the bible on fuel injection.

The big picture with fine detail.

This book is geared not to the performance enthusiast, but to the veteran trouble-shooter and D.I.Y. home mechanic. Wonderfully clear briefs and specific testing procedures. In-depth theory and operation. Does not pretend nor try to cover specific data of all cars. This is the big picture, and then disected component by component. I found using the book with the factory manual worked best.
