diesel injector tester?

[Alfasi156]

Hi all could do with a diesel injector tester kit for my 2.4 jtd as the old girl is still struggling to start in the mornings.

Has recently had full service, diagnoised as 2 x faulty glow plugs, all 5 plugs replaced, crank sensor replaced, brand new battery aswell.

After reading lots of posts everything is pointing towards either CPS or leaking injector. I replaced the CPS my self and made sure the old O-ring came out with old sensor.

Mechanic said he done a leak down test on injectors and were all ok????

Can i make a test kit using cheap bottles and pipe from £land or is there alot of pressure coming out of the injectors?

Could the £26 ebay crank sensor be at fault?

Any help would be great as ive got me car booked in for a tow bar to be fitted, but pointless if she is struggling to start

May i add once she fires up after 15-20 seconds of cranking she runs great all day long.

i think you can find a couple of guides to make diy leak back test kits, heres a vid in progress so gives an ide of whats required and size of bottles etc.

basically you would need the fittings/clips for injector tops
pipe
bottles
something to block return pipe to pump(screwdriver in my vid)

do you have access to fes or similar to read injector correction values.

thanks for the advice matey, i dont have acess to FES or anything to check values of the injectors.

I was just simply going to see if one injector was leaking back anymore than the other, if so replace it????

Does the ECU require any programming of a new injector? or is it just a case of find the bad injector and replace, problem solved? I hope.
