Hi members Can i get some idea about where I can find reasonably good quality super diesel that is ok for a Toyota common rail engine (1kd ftv) Hoping some advice here can save the life of injectors and DPF filter. Regards Nana

I’m planing to clean my Petrol injectors tomorrow and think of doing it as below on Youtube. Has anyone here done this before? What is the recommended voltage to be given as pulse? I guess connecting 12V 45A car battery will not be recommended! What would be the Syringe size that could fix in to the injector neck? Does reverse cleaning required to take out any dirt clogged on inside injector filter? Thanks

Hi guys. The last time I came here was when I had the instrument cluster issue with my Bluebird SU14. That issue however, got resolved after I took it to CN Electronics in Hendala, Wattla as I stated in my previous thread. Today, I've got another minor issue with my SU14 again. I was planning to sell my SU14, so I thought I'd give it a proper sellable value since it had a some black smoke coming out. Thus, I took it to Kaduwela to service the diesel pump and injectors, which went quite well. However, thats where the issue starts. After the service was done, which took 4hrs and 9000 bucks (replaced diesel filter as well), the engine noise increased. Like as if an increased tappet noise. The more gas you give, the faster the noise sounds. So I took it to a guy who is close to my place (trustworthy fella) and he said that it wasn't a tappet noise, thus, clearing the cost of adjusting/replacing the shims (which I hear is quite expensive for a DOHC engine). This happened only after the service of the diesel pump. On an additional note, the black smoke wasn't there right after the service but, now it has come back again. The pulling power also has a vague difference (negatively of course). They did some adjustment on the injection system (not sure if im saying it right). If I'm right, they adjusted the advance/retard of the diesel injection. Now, I hope I have explained sufficiently and if anyone understood the entirety of the issue, could you please be kind enough to let me know how I should resolve this. Thank You
