What he said. You can do it yourself with a laptop and Techstream cable off ebay. Actually give me the $1k and I'll fly over to Perth from Sydney and do the test....Originally posted by amts View Post[SIZE=2]120 GXL D4D Auto, with a 'List of Wants' greater than the 'List of Needs' greater than the 'List of Haves'

sure, however it wont tell me what the spray pattern is like though.
compared to testing them on the bench...
if a USB tool could tell me that, sure... i'd do it myself.

Ozzietj - PM inbound. I think you will be able to do this yourself, but I don't mind showing you one weekend. I am guessing you are not a pilot or you would have mentioned it by now, but maybe we can work out a swap deal. I check the Prado sump you get a me ride in an F18 type deal..

What the flark is going on out there?
Perth rip off week?
Ok check oil pickup, with torch, while/after draining oil. It should be clear.
Crew, don't panic about this unless you have a 2006-2007 which has not has the copper seats removed.
02/2008 onwards its just a quick check, as its worth the 10 seconds.
IF, for some odd reason it's blocked, I charge 1hr to remove the sump & clean the pickup, that's all it takes.
You do not have to replace the oil pickup.
Injector diagnostic test anything from free, $50,$80,$100, anything more & tell them their dreaming.
New injectors, pipes, seals & gaskets, egr clean, plate up, etc, professional job if you can find one there, should its no more than about $3k
If you are unsure, you can call me for some free expert advise.Comment

Just found the pictures I took of the first job I did on my 120 after getting it, thanks to advice from PP's, I dropped the sump and found this,
before and after a good clean.

When I did the injectors 4 months later number 1 was passing, 2, 3 and 4 where good.
Inspections and oil change ever 6 months show no further build up.
