Which injectors could (should) I use?
« on: 11 February 2011, 07:45 »
I have seen a few people who are talking about getting different injectors installed. Was just wondering what difference it would make, and which ones I should be looking at if I wanted to.
Also, does anyone know of a good injector cleaning place round North Devon? Or a mail in service. Want to start cleaning up this engine a bit, and see if I can catch any of the lost horses :)

Little or no point unless you have done major mods.

seems to be all web-based.  Planning to get mine cleaned and tested this year - http://www.injectorcleaning.co.uk/

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

what else would you do?  They must be at least £70 each to buy new, and scrappie will be in the same condition, etc.  Didn't think it was unreasonable personally.  Suspect one or more of mine is acting up a bit.

Nothing else to do, just £70 for about 2 hours worth of work in total is quite expensive I think. I guess it's roughly what everyone charges for injector cleaning.

true, but also we don't have the gear to do this at home.  Appologies if previous post came across as blunt/rude - not mean't to be!

You could also try your local Bosch agent.
