Injector replacement?

Hi Disco gurus

I have the dread white smoke after idling and loss of economy on my D3.

My injector offset balances are:

Cyl 1 1600
Cyl 2 1400
Cyl 3 1300
Cyl 4 1330
Cyl 5 890
Cyl 6 1010

I have read that you need to attack the high ones first. So Cyl 1 & 2 are top of the list.
Does that sounds right please?

Any helpful inputs gratefully welcomed. Wink Very Happy

Thanks for your support everyone!

Rob

With what and how have you checked them?
Cylinder numbers are not the same as injector numbers that a diagnostic tool normally reads.
All thing being equal you have four injectors over fuelling!
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Yes you are correct … not Cyl 1 .. 2 .. etc ….
I meant Injector 1 .. 2 .. 3 …

These were checked by a friend at a local dealer on his fancy diagnostic tool … not sure what make it is, sorry. I can find out …

So - I likely need to change the ones running high ?

Thanks

Anything between 800 and 1250 is regarded as ok, an injector that follows an injector in firing order that is excessively high or low will try to compensate to try and keep the engine running as smooth as possible.
I would be inclined to do a retest with your readings, test must be done with a warm engine at tick over, 850ish rpm.
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Injectors - update

So I've had some work done over the past few weeks .. .and I've splashed on an IID Tool.

My balances now looks like this:




I would assume injector 1 needs replacing.
Any thoughts on why injector 5 is so low please?

thanks
Rob

Not sure on v6 fring order, but guessing 5 fires after 1 so the lower value if 5 is becasue it knows theres an issue with 1?

Norway 

Had the same thing, with codes: Cylinderl 1 fuel trim at maximum limit. Cylinder 5 fuel trim at minimum limit.
After replacing injector 1, all codes gone and the injector values got right.
