servicing injectors and pump

Re: servicing injectors and pump

Starting to blow some smoke, slight power loss and use a bit more fuel than before esp when towing under load in my 2001 TD Prado manual, as the injectors and fuel pump have not been serviced at all over the 220,000 km starting to think that they might need servicing, tried the injector cleaning additive, it improves it but only if i put 150-200 ml in each tank, then once it is used up it goes back
Heard some good reports about West End Diesel at Wetherill Park, does any body have any good/bad experiences with them, or alternatively can reccomend someone closer to home (Castle Hill)

Re: servicing injectors and pump

One more question, I seem to be blowing more smoke, Sitting at traffic lights the diesel fummes get quite strong in the cabin, It doesn't happen if the A/C is on recirculate with windows up. the back door is quite dirty just like my old diesel hilux got when the injectors needed doing (i sold it instead of doing them) I didn't touch any of the exhaust and have checked all the fittings and they are not leaking. When doing the injectors I also put new air filter and fuel filter in it. Does the ciomputer need to be reset? if so how is it done? or is there something else I need to do?
It appears to be over fuelling as I am now blowing some black smoke (it wasm't before)
Any feed back would be greatly appreciated

regards

Gerry

Re: servicing injectors and pump

i'd suspect that injector cracking pressure is set wrong (too low) thereby letting too much fuel in and having a lasy shut off

You didn't leave a rag in the inlet did you (seen it done before)

You said you checked all the fittings, does that include all the electical connections esp on IC and for glow plugs?
