New injectors vs reconditioned vs cleaned

[andy05]

Is there really much advantage in buying new injectors? What's reconditioned injectors, old ones cleaned up? Is there really any disadvantage to just cleaning the existing ones and bunging some new O rings on them?

if u shop around u can pikup new 1's for alot cheaper then a professional clean the injectors in my vp were stuffed i picked up a set of vy v6 injectors brand new for 50buks its runs great and fuel economy is great too much cheaper then 120buks to clean the old 1's

I've been toying with that idea too, putting injectors from a newer model in. Might have to look into it.

Any ideas on where I could source V6 injectors from in Melbourne without a hefty price tag?

So will ecotec injectord fit all 3.8s?

with anything secondhand u run the risk of them being worse than the ones u have, but saying that with all the v6's i have owned i have neva had an injector fail or needing cleaning, i just replace them every 80,000

woops ended post early

i just replace with new injectors as with cleaning wont fix if the injector is leaking or not flowing properly and if ur fuel system is dirty enough to block injectors, then just cleaning them wont solve ur problems, id recomend the full fuel system clean and its only $200 at most places
