Hello! icon_smile.gif

I hope I am in the right place with my question icon_wink.gif.
I would like to have the fuel injectors on my Allroad properly adjusted, in both stages, after 420,000 km. However, no matter which diesel service I contact, they all tell me that they no longer offer this service.
Among them were true professionals who professionally overhaul and adjust VP44 injection pumps, but they don't handle injector holders?

Or should I just replace the nozzles and that will be enough?
Please report if anyone knows anything icon_smile.gif.

Hello,

The nozzle holder combinations for engines with VP44 injectors are adjusted differently than those with VP37 injectors, and usually cannot be adjusted at all in the first stage.
Even with tricks, it's possible, but the effort involved doesn't justify the benefit.

New injector nozzles and they seem good. It's still important to check if they work properly.

Best regards, Rainer.

Thank you for the response!
Now I understand why nobody wants to do this icon_wink.gif.
I also think it's more important to install new nozzle inserts than to ensure that the DÖD (presumably a specific component) is 100% equivalent to its new value.

Ultimately, even with worn-out valve heads and reduced opening pressure, they still performed reasonably well.

Yes. However, it should generally work; I've also encountered broken or worn-out springs before. Also, things can go wrong during the conversion process if you don't do it frequently.

Therefore, a final exam is very useful.

The structure of your DHK (presumably a specific system or organization) is similar but not identical.
Okay, I'm ready. Please provide the German text you want me to translate into English. I will only give you the translation.

Check the quantity deviations in the measurement data blocks. If it doesn't fit with a calibrated instrument (DHK), it will be evident at a value of +/- >1.5mg.
