Plenty of posts and pictures in this section. Some good pictures and instructions..

The basics....

Need to remove the leak off pipes and fit a pipe to each injector into a container. Run the engine at idle for 5 minutes check the levels
then run the engine at 2000 and 3000 rpm for a short while.

All 4 at the same time to compare levels.

 

1. Get the engine up to normal running temperature then switch off.
2. Remove the leak back tubes from the injectors.
3. Fit the tubes from the bottles to the injectors.
4. Start the engine and let it idle for 2 minutes.
5. Give it three short bursts of acceleration up to ~3000 rpm for 30 secs.
6. Switch off the engine.
7. Check the levels in the bottles. More than 25ml in any bottle is a fail.

You need to chop the top 1/4" off the bottles and you should make a pin hole in the lid portion just to ensure no back pressure.

 

I preferred the picture with 4 pop bottles. Proper DIY .

 

You're a true Brit. Purple. I kind of like doing things on the cheap too. The pop bottles are good but not as good as the roadside "Oh, it's pouring out!" test from Romania.

thanks everyone will try this out soon.

 

will 6mm (ish) pipe fit on the injectors?

I heard he still has Whitworth spanners!, and keep a ball of string and chewing gum for the tough jobs

Not very tightly! 3.2mm i.d is what worked for me. See Injector Leak-Off Test below.

Peter

 

I said 6mm but i meant the plastic pipe id used for the Mr Muscle, it is not quite a tight fit on the Mr Muscle

 

BTW, the test is accumulative (i.e. run all the different RPM tests without emptying the bottles each time)?

 

need 4 of these to?

i think he has a problem?

Yes i have whitworth spanners, Doesnt everyone?

I have to be careful with spanners also, I had a habit of filing smaller ones to make them fit, So its not unknown

for my 10mm spanners to be actually 13mm

String and gum? How old are you? Have you not heard of duck tape? Fixes everything

FOOL....its "Duct" not "Duck".....

BTW, nothing says poor workmanship like wrinkles in duct tape.

Duct tape is like The Force, it has a light side, and a dark side.....and holds the universe together

If duct tape and cable ties wont fix it.......its fooked

 

FOOL....its "Duct" not "Duck".....

:stir:

:whistling:

 

it was invented for sealing duct, not ducks, that would be cruel...

also known as gaffer tape and racer tape (emergency repairs to race cars...)

 

i went to buy a hole cutter.....HOW MUCH? FFS...

DING!..............plastic flat strip, 1" metal tube, hot air gun......simples!

all items in stock in the man cupboard/shed

 

Proper test!

 

Mine says DUCK TAPE

Its waterproof so should work well on ducks, Cruel or not.

Not much room for ducks under the bonnet of a Mondeo though.
