Replace ALL the seals. Injectors are virtually bulletproof; it you want to check them:have them cleaned and flow tested-these steps performed by any import shop worth a dam.
All mercedes, bmw, jaguar, saab volvo, honda, toyota use injectors like these (nothing special-supplied by bosch I believe); you want to do this since you have them out already. 'New injectors' flow @ 100 percent of spec. Obviously.
Used injectors are fine flowing 90%. I rebuilt a Jaguar several yrs ago, 102K mi. Injectors cleaned, flowed at 93 % worked fine beyond 200k, sold vehicle.. Yours at 160k are likely fine, just do that to confirm. IF some have failed the flow test, replace them ALL. Do not have to source from dlr. Any import parts place can source for you.
Your eng comp spec is great. Glad to see you used the starting fluid trick.. merry christmas dgj
