Had John (talktheroo) test my injectors this morning at 320000kms (2010 2x4 dual cab owned from new). Thanks heaps John.

Seems to be going ok so far. Cylinder 3 was out a bit with the worst reading coming from it at -1.8. Not sure at what temp that was.

Suction valve (I think) was 1050kpa

EGR was closed at 50 degrees which John said was good.

I'm fully prepared to replace the injectors but not until they are out or close to out of spec. Been using Caltex diesel for around 80% of its life with BP the other 20%. Have also been using Flash Lube Diesel conditioner for the last 70000kms.

What was the total volume?

No idea, would have to ask John.

I did, we had a chat.
As I said long/high Klm's is good.
He also tells me your egr is closed, Some do this, lucky you.
I have mentioned before, It's a theory of mine the egr is part of stuffing injectors along with other stuff.

Total volume at 50 degrees C = 6.87mm3.
In really good condition, at the moment.

I supervised some mates putting a reverse camera in his 2005 single cab sr on the weekend, it's done 400k kms on original everything except for the rear diff! Services it every 10k kms and does nothing special, I couldn't believe it after reading all the horror stories on here but I guess some people just get lucky

Some are very lucky, again high Klm's is the go! also euro 3 have less egr & soot flow, keep that in mind.

Love your avatar

My 05 did 312,000km on the original injectors.

Another great run there Rocket. What do you reckon contributed to the longevity ?

Being a country vehicle as opposed to a city vehicle. ie: longer runs at temp instead of start stop short runs. Thats's what I put it down to with mine.

My mates would be the same, mostly 600km highway trips to work and back (Dido miner)

My 05 got to 295,000 on original injectors was still going well when I sold it. My 09 has now done 306,000 and is on original injectors actually original everything.

The 2006 work ute has 340,000 and is on originals still. Goes fine too

You do have to managed high km injectors, with diagnostics.
Matter of fact, you should be doing this for all these vehicles.
Over fuelling leads to piston damage.
All I am saying is, don't stick your head in the sandpit and don't run blind.
Diagnostics let's you know where you are and when to change the injectors out for new or exchange injectors.

Well I suppose this thread does have "fairy tale" in the heading

And, nice hand models, as well.

Are you inferring that I'm lying?

Because some fool in a PM said that I was full of shit on the last test on this vehicle, I thought I would photograph this diagnostic test.
We are just trying to give the members here a good news thread and one of interest.
There is no lying and this is a true story thread.
The vehicle has now done 330,000 kms.
Cold start at 28 degrees C.



At 50 degrees C.





The old see if we can close the EGR valve test at 2,500 rpms.







No, the bugger didn't close this time (0.00%).
Now at 70 degrees C.



For the EGR valve test at 2,500 rpms.





The EGR valve now closes and stays closed (0.00%). As high as 90% of vehicles (1KD-FTVs) don't close at all. So, this is still a very good result for a vehicle that has done these kms in stock standard condition.



At 80 degrees C you can now see that the EGR valve is totally closed by the MAF readings.
I have a number of high km vehicles now, that I service in one way or another.
Yes, that includes changing out the engine oil too, Mr. Wood.

Thanks John.
See you in 10k for a catch can and more testing.
