Default Injector cleaning

Hi Jim,

I've been watching the thread for a while now. I have a 150k mile 1994 850 T5 with a slightly unsteady idle, and I know the injectors have never been cleaned.

Could you PM me the price / contact info?

Many Thanks

Simon

Hi Jim,

Injectors are back in and running nicely now.. Thank you very much for the professional service and amazing turn around speed!

Battery was disconnected for a few days whilst the injectors were away so it was complaining of being too lean and rev's were hunting to begin with (presumably) whilst it re-learned the required fueling - Worrying few mins for me!

But after a quick run it settled down.. Acceleration is now smooth and idle is steady!

Thanks again
Chris

Around 3 MPG improvement on my 100 mile commute following Jim cleaning my T5 injectors. Should pay for itself over a few thoussand miles.

Very happy.

Hi Jim, Not sure if my injectors would be my problem but my V70 is suffering from what i can only discribe as pinking, and high fuel consumption, No fault codes in the car, could this be down to a dirty injector. I think it would be a good thing to have mine cleaned and checked to eliminate the injectors. Can you PM me with all the relivant details,price and turnaround please. Also i have 5 spare injectors from a 2.3 T5 but are a different colour than mine, will it damage my engine if i temp fit them until i get mine back from you. My car is a 1999 V70 2.4, B5244S2.
Many thanks and hope to hear from you soon,
Chris.
