Thank you very much! I"ll test my injectors asap this way. My issue is, the engine suddenly starts knocking out of nowhere while accelerating, but only few times, not always, actually pretty rare, but I can hear the fuel is not burning well. But when I stop the car the issue is gone. I hope this test will bring me closer to the reason.
My uncle had the same symptoms in the car and one of the injectors were bad. Idle was ok and when accelerating, knocking could be heard.

Great video. I have a car I have replaced the same injector 3 times. Before installing the injector checked as you have done, perfect reading .. injector lasts a few days to a week ..test it again, bad reading.. install another same story. totally baffled .. Any advice very welcome
You could have an over power pulse issue, the ecu should regulate the power pulse going to the injector I think you would need to take your vehicle to a diesel centre and get them to do a I depth check .
Hi again Martin Ive taken out my injectrs that are a soleniod type I guess ` They are Siemens from ford fiesta TDCI 1.4 2008 they all read 205 ohms so i guess they are all good? But tried to do a pop off test on the bench, got to 3000 psi and nothing happend, As these are the electrical type that need voltage, will they only open when voltage is applied to them,or should they still open but more psi needs to be applied. I was thinking the 12v makes the soleniod work several times a second so fuel comes out off and on, But with no voltage and just pressure would still cause it to pop to allow fuel through, So back to the question do they need voltage to open?
I've just watched a TH-cam 'short' video where a man cleans his injectors by spraying canned brake cleaner through them whilst using crocodile clips attached to 11.1 V 30C lipo battery to open the injector. He also uses a tyre valve to remove the core from the injector, wraps black electrical tape around the brake cleaner can's nozzle to provide a tight fit onto the injector. Have a look for this video.
Injector refurbishers will do this test anyway but really what you need them for is to bench the injector in other areas, like the magnet, spray pattern and flow with (usually) the parameters to be coded to the ECM. It really is a specialist trade unfortunately. When you think about the beating diesel injectors get, the tolerances have to be ridiculously tight. They get hammered by compression from one side to high pressure fluid on the other. It's a wonder they work at all.
Do you think they don't have to buy milk, put shoes on their kids' feet, pay their rent, put fuel in their cars and heat their workshops, etc? Regardless of whichever tool they use they still need to be paid for their time, or don't you agree?
I’ve managed to check the 2 on the passenger side when they are in the van and they both went straight to 180 but I can’t get at the other 2 on the drivers side as there’s a black cover I can’t remove any tips would be much appreciated thanks
If your dmm has crocodile clips you can get to the 2 left ones using a needle nose pliers, bit fiddly. Other option is remove the black part using 8mm socket, or another way is buy a plug off ebay 👍🏻
Sorry to say it, but the method used is completely wrong for solenoid-injectors. For example, a Denso solenoid injector has completely new a resistance of 1.1 Ohms. A Bosch solenoid injector not much more. If you set the Multimeter to the 200K Ohm range as done here, the meter will always show '0'. You then have to put the meter on the range up to 200 Ohms, at the very bottom. Only then will you be able to read the correct 1.1 Ohms from the multimeter. As done in the video, any solenoid injector will be falsely diagnosed as defective.
@@edwinvandeoudeweetering2162 Thanks for the response. I was getting a p2149,p2146, p2104.

I’ve done this with the two prongs and I get no reading whatsoever. If I connect the injectors up without being in the engine to see if they fire, is this a feasible test (training mechanic)
Yes you can contact it all up and not have the tip inside the engine, if you get someone to crank the engine you should see the injector spray pattern in four directions in a fan , if it just dribbles out its faulty
Hi there I just tested all four of my injectors on the 1.7cdti they measure 0.8ohms each with no ground leakage. I was worried as they are nowhere near 180. But they are all the same exactly. Engine runs. I have a misfire and difficult starting when hot.

1.6 tdi cayx motor injectors as close as poss to 200k Ohm and capacity about 6000 uF, their common problem is internal short to ground at piezoelectric stack - poor design.
@@southwalesinjectorremovals8932 Thanks, but main question, is syringe leak back test any good on mechanical injectorsl like ones in v70 2.5 tdi or audi 1.9? Did this test it showed double ammount in first and second cylinder
Yes leak off tests are a good diagnostic tool for faulty injectors. Depending on how quickly the injectors fill the bottles ie if it takes less than 2 mins on tickover then they are faulty and need replacing.
Try it with the meter on a scale of 0-100 Ohms or so and not K-ohms! If it's reading then between 1 and 4 Ohms depending on the exact type of COMMON RAIL INJECTORS, then they are good. The method here described is awfully wrong for common rail injectors.
This is a test mainly for piezo injectors the solenoid injectors in a BMW made by Bosch and Delphi do have different resistances this video is a guideline not an accurate test for individual vehicles as there are many variations
If your injectors only have a few Ohms resistance they are the inductive type. For some strange reason a couple inductive injectors were included in the video. These correctly read 0.00 as is expected on a 200kΩ (200,000 Ohms) range. Open circuit usually reads OL (overload). Piezo injector typical have a resistance of around 180kΩ (180,000 Ohms). However, even if they pass this test with a multimeter it does not mean the injectors are electrically okay. Piezo injectors operate at high voltages e.g. 100Volts (generated by a voltage boost circuit in the ECU). This means they can breakdown at their operational voltage. Mechanic Mac has an excellent TH-cam video “Piezo injector testing (ohms v insulation)” on this. One final comment, avoid the cheap multimeters like one in the video. Look for a slightly more expensive meter with auto ranging. This means you will always get a reliable resistance reading by just selecting Ω. If one of these was used the video it would have shown the inductive injector had a low value resistance.

@@southwalesinjectorremovals8932 ok thanks for your help and your vids
mine start at 169 170 and then goes down to zero on all 4
Title Diesel injectors but what kind?
Mainly piezo injectors ie fuel feed pipe screws on top of injectors
@@southwalesinjectorremovals8932 Thanks, but main question, is syringe leak back test any good on mechanical injectorsl like ones in v70 2.5 tdi or audi 1.9? Did this test it showed double ammount in first and second cylinder
Yes leak off tests are a good diagnostic tool for faulty injectors. Depending on how quickly the injectors fill the bottles ie if it takes less than 2 mins on tickover then they are faulty and need replacing.
I've just checked all my spare injectors from a 2008 Vauxhall Combo 13CDTI , each one gave the same readings 0.00
Try it with the meter on a scale of 0-100 Ohms or so and not K-ohms! If it's reading then between 1 and 4 Ohms depending on the exact type of COMMON RAIL INJECTORS, then they are good. The method here described is awfully wrong for common rail injectors.
This is rubbish. I've just contacted Bosch, who make the injectors on my BMW 320d. They say the resistance should be between 0.3 and 0.8 Ohms.
This is a test mainly for piezo injectors the solenoid injectors in a BMW made by Bosch and Delphi do have different resistances this video is a guideline not an accurate test for individual vehicles as there are many variations
If your injectors only have a few Ohms resistance they are the inductive type. For some strange reason a couple inductive injectors were included in the video. These correctly read 0.00 as is expected on a 200kΩ (200,000 Ohms) range. Open circuit usually reads OL (overload).
Piezo injector typical have a resistance of around 180kΩ (180,000 Ohms). However, even if they pass this test with a multimeter it does not mean the injectors are electrically okay. Piezo injectors operate at high voltages e.g. 100Volts (generated by a voltage boost circuit in the ECU). This means they can breakdown at their operational voltage. Mechanic Mac has an excellent TH-cam video “Piezo injector testing (ohms v insulation)” on this.
One final comment, avoid the cheap multimeters like one in the video. Look for a slightly more expensive meter with auto ranging. This means you will always get a reliable resistance reading by just selecting Ω. If one of these was used the video it would have shown the inductive injector had a low value resistance.
