How-to reset the DPF additive level

Premature D-ring failure of Ford diesel injectors is usually caused by either a leaking ball tube O-ring or leakage between the ball tube and injector D-ring...

Quality! Everyone says they have it. Some do. Some don’t. Others have to varying degrees. So how, as an aftermarket professional, are you supposed to cut through all the talk and determine what’s genuine quality, versus just words…?

Premature fuel pump issues can be avoided with a quick visual check-up. Save future time and trouble using this guide.

Automotive technicians need to stay up to date with the latest technologies and techniques to provide the best service for customers. But sometimes the vehicle repairs you’re currently working on can’t afford to wait months for your next official course.

Performing any maintenance on a high-voltage system can be extremely hazardous, so it’s important to have the right training and follow the proper safety procedures.

Discover how to calibrate an EGR valve in this How-to video, as our Delphi expert goes through the process using a DS480 BlueTech Diagnostic Tester Car Kit.

Replacing a fuel pump can become a costly mistake if it is not the true cause of a fuel related problem.

Delphi Calibration Fluid is smooth and includes anticorrosion properties. It is the choice of techs who require safety and accuracy when using their diesel injection testing equipment. Our fluid is also designed for all types of power-driven and hand-operated pump test stands.

Despite the growth of electric vehicles, diesel will still command a significant share of the European passenger car and light-duty market for many years. Our portfolio of innovative OE Common Rail and engine management systems is helping the world’s vehicle manufacturers deliver cleaner, more efficient and more reliable cars. And we’re doing the same in the aftermarket too, with a full line-up of new, remanufactured and repaired OE components, diagnostic tools, test equipment and training.

With today’s Common Rail injector technology, it’s no longer sufficient to just measure resistance to check a coil’s health – you also need to measure inductance for an immediate and accurate assessment. Previously separate tools would have been needed for this. Not with our Electronic Injector Test kit. Otherwise known as the ‘buzz tool,’ or part number YDT720, you’ll be able to quickly test the electrical integrity of all makes of solenoid Common Rail injectors on vehicle. The simple,hand-held tool measures the injectors core criteria, allowing you to quickly compare values and identify if any are not within a comparable performance range, or confirm specific electronic failures which may indicate an unrepairable injector. You can also use it in conjunction with our solvent cleaning kit to resolve early-stage lacquering. All with just one tool, saving significant time and cost for the garage.

Designed for specialist workshops, our patented HD3000, part number YDT840, simplifies the diagnosis of faults with current and future-generation diesel and gasoline high pressure fuel systems, on all vehicle types. With one tool users will be able to safely set and electronically control any pressure testpoint , up to 3000 bar, in order to investigate the full range of pressures and analyse the performance of the fuel injection system – previously this level of flexibility, accuracy and pressure capability could only be achieved with a system-dedicated test bench. Containing an electronic control device, hydraulic block and electrical device, it incorporates multiple dedicated test routines, as well as an IMV cleaning procedure. All this can be achieved without changing any ECU parameter, dismantling the fuel injection system, or taking the vehicle out on a road test – helping workshops save valuable time and deliver faster service turnarounds.

Designed to work in conjunction with the Sealed Rail diagnostic kit, the False Actuator kit, part number YDT410, enables interrogation of the pump when a reduction in Common Rail system pressure has been identified. Simply fit the false actuator when maximum pressure cannot be generated using the sealed rail and vehicle actuator, to allow the pump to generate full system pressure. If the pump generates the correct pressure, then the vehicle actuator is considered faulty and should be replaced. On the other hand, if the pressure is still below the required level then there is a mechanical failure within the pump. It’s as easy as that!

Since the introduction of legislation in the early 1990s, the industry has seen a significant reduction in emissions levels. In fact, it would take 15 heavy duty vehicles today to produce the same level of particulate emissions as just one vehicle did 20 years ago. At Delphi, we’ve been at the forefront of these improvements, delivering cleaner, greener and more fuel efficient commercial vehicles. We also provide the parts, tools and know-how to service these vehicles, right the first time, every time. Keeping them driving as good as new for life.

Designed for the garage technician, LP35, part number YDT810, is a highly precise, ultra-fast, affordable hand-held tester for the low-pressure side of light, medium and heavy duty vehicles. With a single tool, you can perform quick and accurate pressure analysis across a wide range of positive and negative pressures, from minus one through to positive 35 bar -that’s why we called it the LP35. Unlike other entry level equivalents, it’s also compatible with most low-pressure circuits, as well as different fluids, so you’ll no longer need separate negative and positive pressure tools, saving both time and money. Add to this its static and dynamic functionality, and you’ve got a highly versatile, highly capable low-pressure tool.

Because Common Rail systems operate at extremely high pressures, any loss in pressure will have a knock-on effect on the vehicle – causing a progressive reduction in power and even a complete engine shut down. It is therefore imperative that any such issues are identified and resolved as early as possible. We have just the answer. Our Sealed Rail diagnostic kit, part number YDT850, provides simple, low-cost on-vehicle capability for all makes of Common Rail pumps and injectors. Consisting of a sealed rail pressure tester and injector back leakage measurement equipment, users can check the pressure being generated by a Common Rail pump and identify individual injectors that fail, meaning only faulty components will need to be replaced.

A special formula + the latest fuel technology + long lasting effectiveness = Delphi’s Diesel+. So if you’re looking for the ultimate in engine protection for diesel cars, Delphi has the great fuel treatment you're looking for.

Achieving future emissions targets will require even more meaningful innovation as vehicle manufacturers look to improve engine management, electrical power consumption, vehicle weight and integration of alternative powertrains, without compromising on vehicle performance. The good news - as a leading OE manufacturer, we already offer a range of proven, green technologies that deliver significant improvements in fuel economy, emissions and engine performance. Whether it’s a diesel, gasoline or electrified vehicle. Or a car, light commercial, heavy duty or off highway application. Better still, we keep these vehicles running the same way throughout their lifetime with a comprehensive range of aftermarket solutions including OE parts, tools and know-how.

Our wide range of break-out cables and boxes lets you quickly find the cause of electrical faults with common rail injectors, and many other vehicle electronic components.
