Injector reconditioning with a test report

We test and recondition common rail injectors from Bosch, Denso, Delphi and Siemens — solenoid as well as piezo — on our KOMTEST CRI 1400. We measure at several test points across the whole operating range, and you get measured data for every single injector, so you know what you are fitting.

How it works

Four injectors in — but which ones are faulty?

Types we work with

What they look like

If you are unsure what is fitted, compare with the photos — or call with the engine code.

Bosch common rail-dyse med magnetventil

Bosch solenoid

CRI for cars and vans. The most common type.

Bosch common rail-dyse med piezoaktuator

Bosch piezo

Faster and more precise. Fitted to most newer engines.

Siemens common rail-dyse til VAG-motorer

Siemens / Continental

Used in VW, Audi, Škoda and Seat among others.

Delphi common rail-dyse

Delphi

Recognised by the round valve section at the top of the body.

Bosch pumpedyse, unit injector

Unit injector (PDE)

Unit injector with spring. Older VAG engines without common rail.

Why does an injector wear out over time?

A common rail injector is the most heavily loaded component in the entire engine. It opens and closes up to 2,000 times a minute at a pressure of 1,800–2,500 bar — the equivalent of a car’s weight resting on an area the size of a fingernail. And it does so in fuel that has to lubricate it at the same time.

The deterioration is gradual and invisible. The vehicle does not lose power overnight — it just runs a little harsher, smokes a little more and drinks a little extra, over tens of thousands of kilometres.

That is why it is almost always wear, not failure. An injector that has covered 250,000 km is not destroyed — it is worn, and that can be put right.

Is the injector tested, or are you just being told?

Four injectors that "look fine" can easily be the cause of a rough idle and heavy smoke. Conversely, many perfectly usable injectors get replaced because nobody measured them.

On our KOMTEST CRI 1400 we measure every injector at several test points:

The result is a sheet of numbers, not an opinion. If the injector is good, we say so and send it back.

Coding and adaptation are part of the job

When an injector is reconditioned or replaced, its individual code (IMA at Bosch, classification code at Delphi and Denso) must be programmed into the engine management so that injection timing, quantity and pressure are matched to each cylinder. Skip it and you get rough running, increased smoke, higher consumption — and engine damage over time.

On newer vehicles an adaptation run is also required after fitting, so the ECU learns the new values. We carry out both when the vehicle is with us.

What we recondition

TypeMakes
Common rail solenoid (CRI/CRIN)Bosch, Delphi, Denso
Common rail piezoBosch, Siemens/Continental, Denso
Unit injectors (PDE/UI)VW/Audi group and others

Cars, vans, trucks, construction and agricultural machinery, and marine.

We cannot test the oldest mechanical injectors — our equipment is built for modern common rail systems. If you are unsure what you have, call with the engine code before driving out here.

Test before you buy new

DKK 250Per injector tested, incl. VAT (DKK 200 excl. VAT). You get a written report with measured data for each one — including those that are fine. A set of four costs DKK 1,000.
About half priceReconditioning typically costs about half the price of a new original injector. Call with the part number or engine code and we will tell you straight away.
Same dayIf we have the injectors in stock. Reconditioning your own injectors normally takes 2–4 working days.

Prices are indicative and depend on the model. You always get a fixed quote before we start.

Frequently asked questions

A workshop says all my injectors need replacing. Can that be right?

Possibly — but have them measured first. We test your own injectors and tell you what is actually wrong. It happens regularly that only one of four is faulty, or that the problem was never in the injectors at all. A test costs DKK 250 per injector and can save you many thousands.

What does it cost to have the injectors tested?

DKK 250 per injector incl. VAT, equal to DKK 200 excl. VAT. You get a written report with measured data for each one — including those that turn out to be fine. A set of four therefore costs DKK 1,000, and then you know exactly where you stand.

What does reconditioning cost?

Typically about half the price of a new original injector. The exact price depends on the model — call with the part number or engine code and we will tell you straight away.

How long does it take?

If we have reconditioned injectors for your engine in stock, you can collect them the same day. Reconditioning your own injectors normally takes 2–4 working days.

Can I send my injectors to you?

Yes. We receive injectors from all over Denmark and, by arrangement, from abroad. Call or write first and we will agree the practicalities.

Do injectors need coding once fitted?

Yes, on virtually every modern diesel engine. Each injector has its own code — IMA at Bosch, classification code at Delphi and Denso — that must be written into the engine management. Skip it and you get rough running, more smoke, higher consumption and damage over time. On newer vehicles an adaptation run is also needed afterwards. We do both if the vehicle is with us.

Which makes do you work with?

Bosch, Delphi, Denso and Siemens/Continental — both solenoid and piezo injectors, common rail and unit injectors (PDE). We take cars, vans, trucks, construction and agricultural machinery, and marine.

Can you test really old injectors too?

Our test equipment is built for modern common rail systems, so we cannot measure the oldest mechanical injectors. If you are unsure what you have, call with the engine code or part number — we will tell you straight away rather than have you make a wasted trip.

Do you give a warranty on reconditioned injectors?

Yes, 6 months warranty. The test report with the measured data always comes with it.
