I used the nulon product, probably a lot less stuffing around but whatever works for you i guess.

If you run a tank of injector cleaner every few months you should find the injector buckets stay nice and shiny

how do you know when to clean or replace them? ive run that product before a few times, didnt notice a difference what so ever. My 5 litre has done 220,000km

remove and replace them with change over units or new ones by 220 000 km the pintle will be very pitted

I'm curious as to why, do you feel the job is beyond you, or do you just not have the time? If this was necessary with mine i would jump at the chance, then again any opportunity to pull things apart appeals to me.

Lol I do everything else myself, just cant be bothered with doing this one.

So does anyone have any idea how it would cost to get them cleaned? Do they replace the seals etc when they clean them.

same here, and can injectors tick really loud? kinda like lifters loud??

[anothervn]

[Vlad01]

yeah I love that sound. Being an electronics enthusiast, gives me an appreciation for that perfect harmony at work

It's about a two minute job removing a couple of bolts and pulling off the fuel rail and the little horseshoe metal bit, or however much a mechanic will charge you for an hours labour
