Compression check- Jack up one drive wheel , 5th gear , rotate and feel each compression.

Hi. If piston or rings bad should there not be back pressure?

[@colin8653]

it would be good to see the pressure test done on a diesel as it is different from a petrol

[@chiccoka]

m8.I love your videos and i need your advice. I have 2.2 /120hp puma engine in my boxer. When i start up there is no throttle response at all and yellow engine management light is on .It takes around 10 sec and the light is gone also the throttle responding. On a certain rpm i have some vibe like a missfire cylinder and when i removed the plastic cover the no3 cylinder has some oil mist around all others are dry.Sould i perform a leak of test to see whats going on. ??? When its cold its smokes a bit and feels like overfueld. I appriciate your time if you could point me to directions. Oil/air EGR valve replace car has 159k in the clock

[@tonyhannafan8080]

Hi thanks for taking the time to record a video very well done I’ve been watching your video I have a similar problem with my van won’t start off in the mornings unless you use a little bit of easy start in trying to find a problem and I have diagnostics done and the only cold come up with something back to the airflow but I have tried everything I try doing the injector test like you did but when I remove the socket of each injector instead of cutting out it just sounds different tractors but once I plugged it agin it sounds right again, could you give me any advice please I’d appreciate it thanks

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Hi mate, do you have a scan tool with live data? You can monitor everything from there. If you don't have one you're going to have to find a garage or someone who does as it's going to be very difficult to diagnose this without doing that.

[@georgigeorgiev1300]

[@keithrimmer3]

I would check the rockers as well

[@sharonc1068]

Do I have to blank off the return pipes before a leak off test, would they suck air in if I didnt? How long do I do the test for and is it just at idle? I have just replaced injector seals, copper washers and a new camshaft cover as breather was goosed. Now it has trouble starting especially when warm, once started runs sweet as a nut though, no engine shake ticks over lovely. Any ideas? Cheers

[@bilzalad8575]

I have a 2.2 tdci Grey blue white smoke and engine shaking like that untill it warm . What do you suggest

[@dannyplum100]

With that oil spray on top of the engine, I'm thinking injector seal has gone, lost compression on cylinder 4 blowing oil spray out of any of the injector to cam cover seals

Hi mate I have mk7 350 140.. have a engine malfunction light and just wont start. Had machine on saying injector one changed still didnt start. Machanic noticed no4 doing leak test wasn't much better and wasn't coded. I'm having all 4 replaced now and coded. Do one injector fail one after each other and could this be why hard start. ?

[@my_carp_life3424]

What about a diesel engine when its cold and it shakes slightly(half as bad as the van in the video) but doesnt when warmed up.

[@adequatedust]

Nice Test. Would it not be prudent to have checked to make sure the injector was getting an electrical signal to open? We know it was getting fuel and it was not contributing, but seems we can;t be sure it was being told to open.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

hi mate that's all coming up in part 2

[@ianmills5805]

If it was not firing you would have more in the leak off test on that cylinder

the video is 20 min long. with ford IDS and a bit of knowledge the diagnostics is done within 3 min. What fault code will you get if the washer at the bottom of the injector is blown??

[@brams77]

hi pal, i was thinking of putting a recon engine in my 02 transit 2.0 tddi, like for like engine, apart from the actual physical change of the engine, is there any reprogramming if i use the vans original electrics? the van is too good to scrap, and engines seem quite reasonable, price wise. thanks great videos👍

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

dave bram hi mate as long as you match the engine codes up you will have no problem you don't have to change anything electronic some of the injectors are coded so you might need them coded that that's not a big deal if your old injectors are good just put them in the new engine you will have no problem

[@Megalocade]

Have you ever done a leak off test on vauxhall 1.7cdti engines?? When I did a leak off test on my corsa 1.7cdti i bought the leak off kit, took the leak off pipes off an clamped the leak off pipes so no air can get in, went to start the engine took a few cranks to start the engine ran for a few seconds then conked out, wouldn't restart afterwards for love nor money if fact it was a bloody nightmare to get going again, so took the leak off kit out and reconnect the leak off pipes, only way i could get it going was undoing the fuel filter, then put it back on and after a few cranks it started again, been afraid to to a leak test to this engine again what did i do wrong, I thought maybe I didn't clamp the leak off pipes tight enough and maybe the pump sucked in a load of air as these engines operate on suction to bring the fuel in from the tank.

[@keithfoster5157]

Hello mate only if you can help me I've got a 430 Transit on an 06 a 2.4 litre engine diesel when the engine gets the temperature then the engine starts revving up and down I had an injector light come on all injectors have been replaced I've had a compression check done that is all fine having a new diesel pump 2 hour diagnostics at Ford's I've replace a crank sensor no mechanic can find out what is wrong with the van when vans cold it drives perfect when it gets hot start trying to hunt up and down I wonder if you've got any voice ECU is fine, I just wondered if you ever come over this problem before I watch a video on the Ford Transit I just wondered if you had any advice

Hi I have a transit connett that misfires when cold and clears it's self after 1 minute when cylinders warm up, runs perfect when it's warm. Any advice would be appreciated as it's driving me nuts. Rob

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Rob Avery hi mate could be a number of things but most probably sounds like some type of intake leak if you can get it put on a smoke machine when the engine is Stone Cold and watch for the smoke

[@AllanJames88]

So if my van cuts out when injector is removed is that a sign of bad injector. I remove 2 of remaining 3 and it shakes a little. But when I remove 4 doesn't do anything.? Any help would be great. Boss videos keep them coming

[@jeffn1384]

No. If you unplug an injector and it makes no difference then that one was doing nothing.... That means it was the faulty one.

[@brams77]

hi mate great videos. what would you say are the most reliable, transits, vitos, vervaros?

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

I like the RS500 you have back there. Nice one. I used to have Escort Cosworth back in the day. I really loved that car, but today they are stupid expensive. I have a question for you. I have a Mondeo 2.2 tdci 155 and when I turn it on cold it smokes for couple of seconds and then it's normal after that. It starts normally and all btw. Power seems fine and the car doesn't smoke after that. What could that be? Injector seals or something like that? Thanks for your answer in advance. I know you can't say "this is it", but I'd just like to know the direction I should look into. Great vids btw. :)

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Atrax R hi mate it's a possibility injector seal or injector maybe sticking get some cleaner and put it in the tank make sure it's for the Delphi injectors and see how you go then

bodgit and leggit garage Thanks bud, I'll give that a go. I appreciate it.

[@duggy788]

if its black smoke i would say its normal .

[@Mistawongchong]

In newer transits mine's an 05 , you can fuck up the injector by unplugging it and starting the engine , because it throws it out Of sync with its rise and fall movement , and srews up the inside. Be careful!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Yes and no mate what it will do on the newer vehicles on the pieszo injectors it will shut down the ECU because it doesn't want to blow the controls for the injectors but if you reset the ignition they will come back if there is a hard fault on the injector it will never come back until that is fixed but you can reset it there is a failsafe within the ECU to stop damage on the newer vehicles not on this one that I was working on otherwise I would have said what the pitfalls are on the vehicles

[@MrSilky35]

After watching this iv got a mk7 20011 2.2 transit that struggles to start and turbo doesn't seem to kick in.it's had new injector seals new glow plugs new genuine filter and housing New cranksensor.Any ideas what it could be.can runs fine no smoke or rocking engine just lack in power and hard to start.starts straight away and runs all day with a squirt.love the vids wish I lived closer to book my van in with ya.cheers Steve

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Hi mate, the problem is I would really need to diagnose it properly. I don't like guessing. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing and then you go down a rabbit hole and spend money. I hope you understand. But it can still be things like timing. You could have injector problems. Or even high pressure pump problems. Blocked exhaust unfortunately the list goes on and on

[@MrSilky35]

Appreciate it thanks .keep up the good vids il be watching out for a transit with same issues as mine lol cheers

[@johnkate18]

hi asking for little help lol. i have leak off kit, and was going to test transit 2.4 rear wheel drive 90psi, but when i come to hooking things up the return pipe along the top where injectors are there hold in with banjo bolts' have not got clue how to hook it up, so is it scrap yard rip old one off and cut it up to fit?? or am i missing something, i was tempted to pull pipes off to push leak off pipe on them, but thay all look compressed on there tight'

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

hi mate i wil be doing a vid on this soon

[@allanleonnard6891]

I tried disconnecting the leads to my injectors on my 2.2 diesel Mondeo Mark 3 but didnt cut out so will have to do leak off test i suppose

[@themlotproductions]

I bought the same kit. Connectors weren't long enough to get an adequate depth into the injectors. They subsequently leaked and now engine won't start! Do I now have to bleed the system?

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

there's a few ways of doing it but one of the easiest ways is to open each injector pipe injector feed pipe for one at a time crank the engine over until diesel comes out

[@simonking559]

Forgot...no runni g issues. No lights on .no codes? 05 2.0 tdci. Smooth but leaking on spill pipes on injectors

Hi Bodgit&leggit I have just changed head gasket on transit connect 1.8 tdci running fine before other than head gasket fault, built it back up now it wont start? injectors were out and stood up while head was skimmed and new appropiate gasket fitted, any ideas please?? Many thanks!!!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Hi mate they can be an absolute nightmare to bleed you need to make sure you have fuel in the fuel filter then opens each injector up and make sure fuel is coming out there's loads of different ways to bleed them but then 1.8 engines are nightmare to bleed

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Liam French hi mate I hope you can appreciate it's going to be impossible for me to say what is wrong if you've been to garages and they've seen it and they cannot even tell you what's wrong very difficult for me to all I can say is you will have to go to someone who knows what they are doing and get it tested properly to see what the problem is I'm sorry I cannot help you I don't want to say one thing to you you replace it and cost you a fortune for no reason I hope you understand

[@kasapis6]

great work . but be very careful what you tell people ? some of the new piezo injectors when you disconnect the injector plug you can bent a con rod !!! because piezo injectors (well most off them ) control the open and closed they don't close the fuel when you discontent them . they will fill you cylinder with full and say goodbye to you Motor !!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Stephen Kasapis hi mate thanks for that I will keep that in mind for my future videos

[@user-jy5ym8pi3i]

it's solenoid injector not a piezo injector

[@duggy788]

maybe the diesel is is a strange colour because it has been aerated from being under high pressure. ?.

[@MrAnthonyfrench]

duggy788 seems like a good point, but I’m sure if he’s done the test before it would have had the same results.

Hi mate I'm not sure of that name exactly I'm guessing it's the return pipe from the injectors but again that's just a guess from what you are saying just take it to a mechanic he'll tell you exactly what parts you need and you just pay him for him to look at it you get the parts and you fix it

[@miclewis55]

You haven’t checked the signal to injector no.4 or how many amps that injector is drawing . You could end up replacing the engine when the fault was simply a problem in the injector wiring harness.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Didn't need to be getting different fault codes and different symptoms if that was the case no point doing more work if you don't have to

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

And this video is just to show how to do a leak off test

[@jeffreypugh5191]

I would check the electrical plug to that injector just in case..

[@akumabkk6137]

I have a transit connect 2009 which showed all the same problems, mate pulled the plugs on the injectors and 1 showed no difference. So I jump ahead and got a reconditioned one. Still the same problem. Also there seems to be a lot of back pressure form the oil filler cap which I never noticed before am I right thinking theres a problem with the piston rings on the failed cylinder ?

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Hi mate you're going to have to check your fuel pressure check your injectors are leaking inside your cylinders and also check your EGR valve you're going to need some specialist tools to do this if you haven't got them I would suggest you take it to somebody who does this way you can save you a fortune in the long run

[@cumbrianrider8903]

leak off testing only works with solenoid injectors properly not piezio one like you have there as they work differently, do a relative compression test with a current clamp on starter motor cable with an oscilloscope, would take about 10 mins and identify faulty cylinder, or look at injector balance on live data on scan tool to identify bad cylinder, probably got a hole in piston

lol. never mind checking the valve distance. just conclude 'it's broken' (gee, maybe the manual actually mentions you have to re-adjust those things every 20k km or so) :P also never mind just swapping injector #4 with injector #3 to see if the problem moves to #3 :P also, you're not actually trying to imply you don't even have a compression meter right? lol. you don't need to get one that does all cylinders at the same time, it's just a bar pressure meter. one at a time is fine. they are not 'expensive' at all. should the scrapers be gone you can easily find them back in the oil filter, that and other problems (leaking valves) are quite visible in the exhaust connections on the cylinder head.. diesel injectors actually are parts that need replacement every 200k km or so or it's no longer a 'shower' but more like a pissing down effect. just like brake pads, tyres, batteries and all the rest of the temprary crap. if they don't want their cars to 'let them down' they should start doing some regular maintenance.

Just serviced my daughters TD4 Freelander yesterday. Feel your pain regards those Allan key bolts on the air filter but my worst problem was that someone had already 'serviced'(thats term is used in the loosest possible terms) the PCV. They had fitted the oil separator upgrade that I was going to fit but had 'mashed' all the screws on the top....could't tell whether they were Torx or Allan keys. 2 1/2 hours to get the last one off!! Anyway, fitted my separator and only replaced those screws that I could. Main event was removing the EGR valve and inlet manifold to de carbon/gunk. That went okay but the actual inlet into the engine was very badly funked up too. Any advice to help get rid/remove that too or is it a head removal/clean up?? Not sure if Terraclean would do much as the TD4 is direct injection (IIRC) but any thing would be better than not I guess? Was going to delete the EGR but unfortunately it was quite the right fit so it's still on the normal EGR(which is 'fecked' but much cleaner now)..

Diesels are known for running lean - so I'm betting on a burnt exhaust valve. No idea what's up with that fuel, but I can't see how contamination would get into it (other than at the pump, of course.) On the other hand, I've seen diesels do the strangest things (on two occasions, I had them running on engine oil when an injector seal went bad. They went through around 7 gallons of engine oil in about 15 minutes (some burnt, the rest went into the fuel tank via the return line)...so it's anybody's guess at this point. :-P
