159 TBi fuel injector

159 TBi fuel injector

Hey guys, for a few months now, have a 159 TBi SW and the check engine light started showing.

It's running on 3 cilinders, so I can't use it anymore. Got it towed to a garage and there they found that the it gives error codes 0304 and 1670 and 1671. After inspecting cylinder 4 and checking compression ratio, that gave a good result. But they found that the fuel injector is broken.
The injector on 2 is showing severe degradation so it's advised to change that one too.

Now he told me that the new price he could find is about €520 excl tax, so about €640 a piece.

He advised me to look around and find a better deal, maybe even cleaned and fixed used ones.
Just not a set from AliExpress, which he won't put in there, it could be good, or it could be terrible ones, which will destroy the engine.

I've found several online, but I'm not sure which is the best pick. I'm located in the Netherlands, maybe someone has some tips what I should look out for?

Whenever I go somewhere if I see an Alfa I have to park next to it, if possible.
Here I found a pretty white 2.2jts, I drive a TBI myself.
I'm in the process of making it look clean again, it has a few bits and marks from the last owner who appears to be not so careful when parking at places.

It's becoming easier to find other Alfas, I see way more Alfas in my area. Especially many mitos and Giulietta. They always stand out between the many Audis, Volkswagens and Hyundai's.
