What was the time period of the test?
I think in a 5 min test it should be 25-40 ml, going off your results I would personally change all 4 injectors. N

The results on 1-3 are right on the limits and 4 is well shot, 4 x new injectors required N

Delphi fuel pumps on these also wear out internally. :!:

Fit new diesel filter. Cut old one open & check for swarf. If swarf present, 4 new injectors & fuel pump will be required. :(

Yes, it is possible, but you will need special tool.

It works as holder for pomp wheel in correct position - tool is fixed in big hole in timing chain cover. Then you can unscrew wheel and removing pomp from engine.
Be sure is this work necessary - it is work for conscious mechanic... :!:

Is it possible in UK to buy on free market genuine Delphi valves for injectors (in case also sprayers)? In Poland one genuine valve costs about 50 GBP. Replacement is very simply (possible "on table in kitchen"), so repair is very cheap.
Problem is with codes, but tdci system has self adaptation - first ninutes of work are tragic (engine want jump out from chamber), but every minute is better and better.
I did myself a lot of injectors - and all works very good. If mileage is over 150.000, it is also good to change sprayers.

I didn't touch injection pomp inside...

Hi everyone. So I had my injectors back from test/repair. I fitted the injectors back In and would you believe It! Still the same. Van is still smoking and sounds like diesel knock. I will cut that filter open and check it tomorrow. Possibly not related. There is 3/4 of a tank of diesel in it. A few times I have started the van, the fuel gauge is flashing and it shows nearly empty-i turn it off and restart the van and it shows 3/4?
I hate this van now!

I can see me pulling this engine out and rebuilding the original engine. The threads in the cylinder head were dodgy in replacement engine. I fear the injectors ain't sealing right giving me blow back in the rocker cover. Wife is not happy with me or van :-(

No codes present and it is a tdci because of cam sensor. I left the van ticking over for about 20 mins earlier. Went back out and noticed the water level had dropped. I now have water in the oil
