Why Direct Injection Engines Develop Carbon Deposits
Direct injection in its current form has been around since 1997. During the next 10 years, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes Benz and many others introduced engines with direct injection. Today, almost all new engines have direct injection. When the early direct-injection engines hit the three-year or 30,000-mile mark, some developed driveablity problems due to carbon build-up
SP Tools’ BMW Injector Puller Allows Easy Removal Of Injectors On All BMW Vehicles With Direct Injection
SP Tools’ BMW Injector Puller’s compact size allows easy installation to the injector and easily pulls injectors out. This easy removal greatly reduces the amount of time to replace injectors, which makes more profit for technicians in the end.
Toyota SMART Key & VW Gas Direct Injection Seminar By John Thornton
AESwave announces that John Thornton will be in Fresno, CA, on Saturday, July 27, 2013 to present his seminar, “Toyota SMART Key & VW Gas Direct Injection.”
Bosch Expands Training Offerings; Adds Course In Advance Gasoline Direct Injection
Bosch has announced that it is expanding its repertoire of training courses to include an advanced course on Gasoline Direct Injection Technology (GDI) for automotive technicians. This one-day class will be offered in various locations throughout the United States and will launch in 2013.
7 Reasons Direct-Injection High-Pressure Fuel Pumps Fail
High-pressure fuel pumps can malfunction and/or fail due to a number of factors.
VIDEO: Dual Direct And Port Fuel Injection Systems
These systems optimize fuel delivery under a variety of temperatures and loads. This video is sponsored by Carter.
Direct Fuel Injection Diagnostics
Direct injection is becoming standard on more and more late-model vehicles. These systems can be a diagnostic challenge but, with the right foundation, problems can be solved profitably.
Volkswagen, Audi Direct Fuel Injection System
For the past decade, almost every vehicle that Volkswagen and Audi has sold in the U.S. has been equipped with direct fuel injection. These FSI, TSI and GDI systems allow for better fuel economy and power. The switch to direct injection has also allowed Volkswagen to downsize its engines from 2.0L to 1.4L on base models without losing any power, while still improving fuel efficiency.
Oil And Direct Fuel Injection
The oil in the crankcase of a direct fuel injected engine can make a huge difference in the health of the engine. The right oil can reduce carbon deposits on the intake valves and keep the engine healthy.
Solving Carbon Deposits In Direct Fuel Injection Engines
There are several fixes available to solve carbon buildup problems. The first is preventive maintenance. Scheduled oil changes can keep the camshaft actuators working in optimal condition to control the exposure of the intake valves.
