Inspect / replace your air filter element before considering injector repairs as your engine may just be starved of air. This might cure your black smoke and power lag problems.

Good luck.

Thanks. I just did that yesterday. I'll take note of its performance first. I had the usual change oil changed and had the air filter replaced. It does seem quicker now. I have to have someone else check the smoke

See copy-attached picture of blown nozzles. Injectors were pulled off a Starex CRDI.

Sir, parang massacred. Bakit naman lumaki ng ganyan yung butas ng nozzle tip?

Grabe talaga, and this is condition is quite rare. I have an idea on what situations can cause this failure. We are presently conducting a thorough failure analysis with the dealer.
