V8 cruiser injector testing - sunshine coast / brisbane

G'day gmax
Most good diesel shops have electronic scan gear and can use it to drop cylinders during operation to get power balance/isolate noise sources and a number of other pieces of info to help pinpoint issues.
Electronically cracking injector lines I suppose you could call it. Dangerous with CRD engines to crack a pipe nut.

Toyota dealers should have the ability to test this with their stuff it is just hard to find someone at a dealers who knows how to use and interpret the data.
if you have to use a delayer/dealer then you need to be right there with them so you can ask the essential questions and not just rely on there reporting back to you. Lots can be lost in translation.

While I understand there is diagnostic software and so forth, I do not believe the equipment exists....at least not commonly...to test individual common rail injectors like it does for the traditional types.

cheers

Any Denso certified CRD workshop can and also Toyota, there are set guild lines for testing CRD injectors and it has to be done cold and hot.

Most stuff you read on the net you have to take with a pinch of salt...... two people bitch about their problem and mysteriously it festers into sounding like they all do it.

Hi gmax, No affiliation, just a happy customer of North Coast Diesel Nambour- 5441 2933.

Cheers, Graham.

You can do it yourself and having the basic knowledge you have gained from experience in the field you may be open to trying electronic stuff too.

If you give LAUNCH diagnostic, Bill Mahoney at this email address

admin@launchvic.com.au

He will tell you what is possible for your application.
Of course there is a learning curve and if you aren't a tech literate person if may be challenging. Approx cost of the gear is $3000 +

Hanatech diagnostis is another if your interest leans toward this type of gear.

PS although expensive, one tester/diagnostic machine can pay for itself on just one vehicle problem and you then have it for future use and to help repair/diagnose other makes others too.

Check it out, could be a REVelation for you.

Yes you can buy a Denso Toyota Intelligent tester. They can individually shut down any injector, test fuel pressures, scan for faults and reprogram the install of new injectors. Plus a heap of other stuff.

You will need the toyota workshop manual (CD) and a good working knowledge of mechanics.

I bought one of these from this website and it works quite well.

The newer CRD injectors are not serviceable so either they work or not. Of course they can get out of tolerable allowances and this is the severe precombustion knock that some people talk about. The Denso Intelligent tester will assess which injector is the noisy one and how far out of tolerance the injector has become. Then you can purchase these injectors online (best place) for around the $500 each.

This pricing and type of issue is the same for all new CRD vehicles and not particular to Toyota. Any new Common Rail Diesel injectors will cost the same. A good thing is they should last around 200,000 km unless you use poor quality fuel.

Sorry I can't help with a service centre in Queensland.
