Thread: bench testing td5 injectors

I don't know of anyone in Australia that does it but Feather Diesel in the UK will check them for 30 Pounds each and repair for 150 Pounds

Are they black tops or green tops??

Delphi injectors need specific bench equipment to test. Don't go wire brushing anything or trying to pull them apart or you'll have an extra few shed paperweights.
United Fuel Injection in Rivervale I think have the gear as does one other replace I refuse to mention on the basis they burnt me when I worked there and I wouldn't send my worst enemy to to them.

You will need to know if they are black or green tops by looking at the colour of the plunger seal on the top.

When did you move to WA? I've been off here for a while...
