Good evening.

What is the limit on a leak off test to determine if the injector(s) needs replacing.

Corsa D 1.7 CDTi (A17DTS)
I've done a test with engine at operating temp, sat on idle for 3 mins and the results were:-

Cylinder 1 - 30ml
Cylinder 2 - 35ml
Cylinder 3 - 40ml
Cylinder 4 - 42ml

I did see online that a diesel specialist has said that anything over 30ml doing the same as I did is a dud injector, but as the amounts are quite close is it just normal for my injectors or are they all shagged?
Thanks

Just had one of my return pipes snap on astra 2.0 cdti, lost around 3 gallons over 30 miles, still I wasn’t paying double time for a Sunday night recovery on the principle of it, yes the car stinks of diesel, it was vx only part but sorted for £90. There was plenty of diesel in engine bay so 30 ml x 4 injectors x 20 mins, doesn’t seem excessive but have a chat to a diesel specialist and see what they have to say and if the injectors are 💩 I wonder if the 2.0 astra j ones are any bigger flow? Bigger flow, more fuel, remap. Just saying 😆

Had the all plastic plugs on the return pipe snap so I've had to order a new one, was only £13.50 plus an extra few quid on clamps etc. Need to find a Vauxhall specialist as each car has a different return flow amount.
