Sorry if this has been on here before, but is there a way
To check if you injectors are working without removing them.
My td6 is taking longer to star. Its had new battery, new secondry fuel pump and
new glow plugs. I think it might be the injectors at fault
Thanks for any info

When it does start, does it tick over smoothly? Does it run smoothly when driving? Previously..

Yes it's fine when it's started. And it starts ok after that, its just when you first start
It. It doesn't mater if its warm or cold outside
Thanks mark

Have you checked the fuel lines, sounds like it could be leaking back towards the tank due to an air leak at a joint

I haven't checked for a air leak. I don't know where to
start to look for it, any ideas where to look

Start at the filter, if you can see air bubbles then you have a leak

Thanks 47p2 ill have a look in the morning and let you's know
Thanks again

Ok. I've checked for air in the clear fuel lines but there is no signe of any
Is there a way to check the injectors without removing them

Thanks mark

You can, there's the leak off test where you attach a tube to each injector and put the other end in a jar. You then start the engine and see which injector fills the jar. That's the dodgy one.

If it runs smoothly, cold or hot, when it does start, what you are saying is you think the injector is faulty but it starts working perfectly when the car starts. I have a problem with that. I think the fault is elsewhere. Previously..

2nd that not an injector problem

Oh we'll looks like its going to the Indy again
Thanks for all your help, if I get it sorted ill let
You's know what it was

Thanks again

Would definately do a leak back test on the injectors. seen this a few times before on common rail diesels including the ffrr. if an injector leaks back too much it stops the fuel pressure building up in the rail as quick which delays the start. when its running the engine speed is fast enough to give enough pressure therefore run ok. dont think the kits are expensive either. either that, you could connect a diagnostics and watch the fuel pressure in the fuel rail building when cranking it over. it should raise pretty quick. the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel pumps could also cause this. among other things no doubt but would try a leak back first then you can rule the injectors out if ok. '04 td6 se

Worth checking that the new glowplugs are working too.
