Premature Injector D-Ring Failure

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…?

A step-by-step guide to resetting the DPF additive level

With shorter intervals between injection and ignition, coupled with leaner air fuel mixtures, today’s advanced gasoline direct injection (GDi) engines place greater demands on the ignition system. Making it the perfect time to launch our new OE multi-charge ignition coil technology.

It can happen. Oil can fall victim to premature aging. Typically, this occurs with poor quality or counterfeit oils, but it may also happen when using good oil too. If the piston rings let in combustion products from the cylinder to the interior chamber of the engine, the chemical components of the...

If the vehicle fails to start up, you can hear the engine misfiring or the car accelerates noticeably worse than normal, the ignition coil may be defective. The same applies if the engine warning light illuminates, the engine control unit switches to emergency operating mode or an error code is displayed...

As the world’s leading automotive companies continue to develop safer, future-ready vehicles, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS for short) will become increasingly...

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!

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.

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.
