Fuel injection valve

The valve (1) has a nozzle needle (10) acting together with a valve seat and receiving closing force through pressure in a nozzle needle control area (20). A control valve (30) adjusts the pressure in the control area and has a control valve area (31) in which a control valve unit (34) is arranged, where the valve unit has a sealing body. The control valve area has a guiding section (44) for guiding the control valve unit in a longitudinally movable manner at an outer side of the control valve area, where the control valve unit is extended into the control valve area.
