Your car’s fuel injection system controls exactly how much fuel reaches each cylinder, and when. When it’s working properly your engine runs smoothly, starts easily and uses as little fuel as possible. When injectors become dirty, worn or faulty, you’ll notice rough running, hesitation, poor fuel economy and, eventually, a check-engine light.
At Perth Swedish and European Auto Centre we diagnose and repair fuel injection systems quickly and accurately. Our specialised test equipment lets us check injector flow, spray pattern, fuel pressure and the related sensors, so we can pinpoint where the problem is rather than guessing and replacing parts unnecessarily.
Modern European engines — particularly direct-injection petrol and common-rail diesel engines — run very high fuel pressures and very fine injector tolerances, so even small deposits can affect performance. That’s why we recommend having your fuel injection performance checked periodically and your injectors ultrasonically cleaned where suitable, to restore their spray pattern and keep fuel consumption at its best.
Whether your car is running rough, using more fuel than it should or showing a warning light, we’ll find the cause and fix it properly. Call (08) 9227 9944 to book a fuel injection check in Perth.
Fuel injection problems usually start small. Book your car in if you notice any of these:
Benefits of ultrasonic injector cleaning:
Not sure what’s wrong? Contact us or call (08) 9227 9944 and we’ll take a look.
We test injector flow, spray pattern and fuel pressure to find the real fault — so you only pay for the parts and work you actually need.
Where suitable, we ultrasonically clean injectors to restore performance and economy, often saving the cost of new injectors.
Direct-injection petrol and common-rail diesel systems on European and Swedish cars are everyday work for our technicians.
We pinpoint and resolve fuel injection problems quickly, explain what we’ve found and quote before any work begins.
Common signs include higher fuel consumption, rough idle, misfires, hesitation when accelerating, hard starting and a check-engine light. Sometimes you may also notice a fuel smell. Our test equipment can confirm which injector, if any, is at fault.
The injectors are removed and cleaned in an ultrasonic bath, which uses high-frequency sound waves to remove deposits from inside the injector. They are then flow-tested to check the spray pattern and delivery are back within specification.
Additives can help keep a healthy system clean, but they generally can’t remove heavier deposits or fix a faulty injector. If your car is already showing symptoms, testing and professional cleaning or replacement is the reliable fix.
There’s no single interval for every car. We recommend having your fuel injection performance checked periodically, or whenever you notice poor running or rising fuel use, and cleaning the injectors when testing shows they need it.
It depends on your engine and what the testing shows — cleaning is usually far cheaper than replacing injectors. We diagnose first and quote before any work begins. Call (08) 9227 9944 to book.
Yes. We diagnose fuel system faults on common-rail diesel engines and can test, service or replace diesel injectors as required, as well as petrol direct-injection systems.
Rising fuel use can come from dirty or leaking injectors, a faulty sensor, low tyre pressures, a dragging brake or an overdue service. A fuel injection check along with a general inspection will identify the cause.
