Hagar,

Can you give us a bit more detail? I'm thinking of replacing the nozzles in my 1.6NA - 
I don't like the amount of smoke when cold, and I've checked timing & dialled the 
pump for economy (very little smoke at full pedal).
Also, has anyone located a good source of nozzles in Canada? I can find them for 
$8-9 US, but shipping brings the price almost to CDN levels of $18-20 each. Any 
good Bosch shops on Vancouver Island?
