Oscilloscope

With the help of an oscilloscope voltages and currents can be displayed to trace faults in systems. We have a 4 channel oscilloscope available which is able to handle speed compared to CAN-BUS systems. With the equipment wiring diagrams and previews of measurements are available. With previews the chance of faults made by investigating the signal as wrong is as good as minimal. Giving our staff and you the less time to repair your car once necessary.

Common rail return flow

Besides an oscilloscope we have 2 different ways to measure the return flow of (diesel) injectors. The general method is to catch the returned fuel into a cup and compare individual returned volumes with each other. A high amount of returned fuel is a sign of a faulty injector. This method is easy, in-expensive to apply and gives in most cases the best result.

Besides catch up cups we have a device that can measure the flow of each cylinder (up to 4) and log these during driving. The device came when return flow system were applied under pressure, the general catch up method could not be applied giving a restriction to measure return flow for diagnostic reasons. When a problem occurs this return flow device can observe the return flows of the connected cylinders during driving circumstances. Were the catch up cans can only be applied to idle situations.

Smoke tester

Engines can leak through gaskets or tears due to age or high level of vibration. When air, oil, coolant or exhaust gasses leaks through it might not always be detectable when the engine is stationary or not operated at high load conditions. A smoke tester can help finding the leaks more easily. Smoke is entered to the specified part that needs to be tested. This can be intake air systems, lubrication systems, coolant systems and exhaust system. When a tear or broken gasket is present, smoke will flow through the tear or broken gasket. This can be observed by the technician easily.
