Identification of CRI types and their Differences


Differences in Nozzle Seat
Piston Type Spacer

Piston Type Spacer (2) is actually located between nozzle needle and Control Valve Piston.
Piston Spacer in a Guide

Spacer is placed in a guide (2) and spacer is much smaller that piston type spacer.

Bosch CRI Repair Instructions


Differences in Nozzle End Surface
Solid Nozzle End-Machined Surface

This type of nozzle body is used on CRI 1 type Bosch injectors with piston type spacers.
Nozzle Seat with Maltese Cross Machined Surface

Usually guided spacer nozzle assembly injectors have this Maltese cross machined surface on their nozzle
seat surface.
Nozzle Seat with Butterfly Shape Machined Surface

Injectors with both piston type spacers and guided spacers of CRI 2 type may have Butterfly Shape Machined
Surface on their nozzle seat surface.

Differences in Valve Mechanism Assemblies
CRI 1 type Valve Mechanism

1
2
3

CRI 1 type of Valve Mechanism is very wide spread and first generation valve mechanism. The lock piece (1)
must be removed in order to disassemble whole valve mechanism. Connection Plate (2) can be removed
only after removing the lock piece, and Control Valve Fixing Nut (3) should be removed using a special
hexagonal tool.

CRI 1 type mechanism has a variant for Daimler Crysler Engines. One type of the Valve Mechanism is
modified to have a suspension (1) on the Control Plate Assembly to avoid uncontrolled vibrations during
operation at higher speeds.

Bosch CRI Repair Instructions


CRI 2.0 and CRI 2.2 type Valve Mechanism

CRI 2.0 and CRI 2.2 is very similar to CRI 1 type valve mechanism, with one exception that there is a
protective cover (1) on top end of the Push Rod. This cover actually covers the lock piece and avoids and
damage to push rod and lock piece. In order to disassemble the valve mechanism, the protective cover (3)
must be removed and then lock piece should be removed to remove the connection plate. After removing
Control Valve Fixing Nut (3), the push rod, ball housing and ball can be removed.
CRI 2.1 type Valve Mechanism

This different design Valve Mechanism does not have any lock piece because the connection plate and push
rod is combined into one single push piece (1) and once the solenoid is removed, it is freely taken out off the
assembly. Likewise the guide housing for push piece (2) is removed freely after push piece is taken out.

Testing the Injectors and Interpreting the Results


Below test should be done after assembling the injector as per instructions above, and making sure that the
dimensions in assembly has been adjusted according to the specifications of the injector.
Standard test consist of 6 steps:
1. Warm-up, injector is run at this stage for a certain amount of time, depending on the delivery of the
injector. Higher the delivery makes the injector warm up time shorter.
2. Leak test, injector is exposed to high pressure without the sending any signals to run the injector.
This is for testing the leakage from
a. Seal,
b. Control valve and piston surface
c. Control valve ball seat surface.
d. General assembly of the injector
Return test oil amount is measured and compared with the target values. If the result is higher than
specified target limits, the test should be stopped and there is no need to test the remaining steps.
3. High Pressure Delivery Test is for determining the condition of the nozzle. The amount being
delivered may be less. This means that the nozzle holes have been narrowed due to wear out. The
delivery may be higher, presenting a sign of wear out in ball seat, causing extensive injection time.
This should also be compared with the return value, as this case will increase the return test oil
amount too. The delivery may be acceptable but if the return is higher, there is a high possibility of
high test oil return from the nozzle (provided that the leak test was acceptable).
4. Low Pressure Delivery Test is for determining the nozzle condition at low pressure. The amount is
expected to be lower than if the nozzle holes are narrowed. If the delivery is higher than the limits,
the nozzle seat is worn out and leaking even after the injection is ended.
5. Spray test with high pressure is for determining the spray pattern and angles.
6. Spray test at low pressure is for determining the leaking at low pressure, in case the nozzle needle is
not sealing off the test oil after the injection is ended. Visual check is necessary to determine this
factor and stop the knocking sound at idling.

Fine Tuning the Delivery of Common Rail Injector


If the injector is slightly off the limits, it can be adjusted to fit into the limits. This is often needed when using
different brand spare parts and nozzles.

Which part has what affect on the deliveries?


Ball Lift
Ball lift must be adjusted when assembling the injector. Mechanical
dimension check is usually enough to make sure that the ball lift is
regulating the pre-injection correctly.
Change the thickness of the shim (1) shown in the figure to adjust
the ball lift.
As the setting of ball lift is possible with measurement only, the pre
injection test is not necessary on the test bench. However a preinjection delivery test can be generated. Please refer to section
creating your own test plans.
Higher the Ball Lift setting is higher the pre injection
delivery.
Distance between the Solenoid and the Magnet Plate
Distance between the solenoid and the magnet plate is the first
setting for all delivery levels at all pressures. The induction power
on the magnet plate affects the response behavior of the injector
to the signal. If this distance is too close it damages the solenoid, if
this distance is too far, the delivery levels are low and target levels
cannot be met. This distance should be adjusted to 0,04 0,06 mm
to able to have a most effective performance. This distance also
changes the current that the solenoid withdraws from the ECU.
Therefore if this distance is set too far, the current to pull the
magnet plate will be higher and will cause the ECU to generate fault
after a while.
Adjust the distance with changing the thickness of the washer (2) shown in the figure to adjust the distance.
Higher the distance is lower the delivery at especially middle pressure levels.
Thickness of the Solenoid Shim
Solenoid shim thickness changes the load for the solenoid to overcome at the start of the injection. The
thinner shim causes the injector to open fast and close slow, increasing the deliveries at all pressure levels.
Thicker shim is causing the solenoid to act late but close fast, and reduces the delivery at all pressure levels.
Like all other settings, thickness of this shim can be changed within some certain limits, and outside of these
limits causes the injector behave unpredictable.

49

Bosch CRI Repair Instructions


Adjust the load on the spring using the special simulator designed for testing the load on the solenoid, only
after setting the distance and the ball lift correctly. Change the thickness of the shim (3) shown in the figure
to adjust the load to the correct setting.
Thicker the solenoid shim is lower the delivery at all pressure levels.
Nozzle Lift
Nozzle lift is controlled by either the piston spacer thickness or the spacer shim in the guide. If we increase
the nozzle lift, we increase the delivery at high pressure levels only. Changing this shim has little affect on
other pressure levels.
Thicker the spacer shim lower the delivery a high pressure levels.
Thickness of the Nozzle Spring Shim
Nozzle Spring has an important affect on idle delivery. The thicker the shim lowers the idle delivery. However
the thicker shim increases the start of injection pressure. 200 bar spray test are crucial to determine if the
thickness of this shim results in stopping fuel delivery at low pressure. Amount of injection is not important
but, injection should be visible at 200 bars spray test.
Do not try to repair a leaking injector with increasing the thickness of the nozzle spring shim. This will
certainly cause the injector to change delivery behavior at different pressure levels.
