ASNU Petrol Injector Testing
At Ecotune, we test, service, clean and provide a report on your Petrol Injectors, using our Asnu GDI Testing Machine.
ASNU is a well-known name in the field of fuel injector diagnostics and servicing. They offea comprehensive system for testing and servicing petrol injectors, which includes:
Injector Diagnostics: ASNU’s system allows for detailed examination of injectors’ performance. This includes checking fuel distribution, droplet formation, atomisation, and delivery.
Testing Equipment: The ASNU Classic GDI system operates injectors at a lower, safer fuel pressure (up to 10 bar) to safely examine spray patterns and identify any discrepancies.
Servicing: ASNU machines can service various types of injectors, including GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) and Piezo injectors. This servicing can address issues like poor fuel economy, misfiring, and knocking.
Here are some key points:
Visual Inspection: Check for any visible damage or wear on the injectors.
Flow Testing: Measure the amount of fuel each injector delivers to ensure they are all providing the correct amount.
Spray Pattern Testing: Examine the spray pattern to ensure it is even and consistent, which is vital for proper combustion.
Electrical Testing: Check the electrical resistance of the injectors to ensure they are within the manufacturer’s specifications.
Ultrasonic Cleaning: Use ultrasonic cleaning to remove any deposits or blockages within the injectors, which can improve performance and fuel efficiency.
An example of a successful before and after can be seen below, please note - not all injectors will be successful during testing and cleaning.
Benefits of Regular Injector Testing:
Improved Fuel Efficiency: Ensures that the engine is getting the right amount of fuel.
Enhanced Performance: Helps maintain optimal engine performance.
Reduced Emissions: Properly functioning injectors help reduce harmful emissions.
Cost Savings: Regular testing and servicing can prevent costly repairs and replacements.
Failing injectors can cause a variety of issues in your vehicle, such as:
- Engine Misfires: If an injector is clogged or not functioning properly, it can cause the engine to misfire. This can lead to rough idling, poor acceleration, and reduced power.
- Check Engine Light: A malfunctioning injector can trigger the check engine light on your dashboard. This is often due to the engine control unit detecting an imbalance in the fuel mixture.
- Poor Fuel Economy: If an injector is leaking or not delivering the correct amount of fuel, it can lead to increased fuel consumption.
- Engine Vibrations: A failing injector can cause the engine to vibrate, especially at idle. This is because the engine is not receiving the proper amount of fuel to run smoothly.
- Fuel Odour: If an injector is leaking, you might notice a strong smell of fuel. This can be dangerous as it indicates that fuel is not being properly contained.
- Starting Issues: Difficulty starting the engine can also be a sign of a failing injector. This is because the engine is not getting the right amount of fuel to start properly.
- Increased Emissions: A faulty injector can lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in higher emissions and potentially failing emissions tests.
- Loss of Power: If the injectors are not delivering fuel efficiently, you may notice a significant loss of power, especially during acceleration

Regular maintenance and testing of your injectors can help prevent these issues and keep your engine running smoothly. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to have your injectors checked by a professional.
