Thumbs up 850 T5 injectors

Greetings, folks.
Saw Jim a few weeks ago and left a set of injectors (Bosch orange). Picked them up the following day and finally found some time to fit them. Vehicle was transformed and doubtless will improve further, once the ECU realises what's happened. Still with 263k on the clock and no indication that the injectors had been touched you'd expect some difference! The man is fantastic and is providing a great service. Take his advice and get 'em cleaned! See you soon Jim.

Default “o” Rings Now On Stock

Well nearly
It seems to me more and more people are getting ripped off when it comes to getting “O” rings for there injectors.
The prices being charged can vary from a few pence to over £1.67 + vat each. This is not acceptable. I understand also that it is proving very inconvenient and a waste of precious time for some people because more than not the dealers have to order the “O” rings in. In an effort to save people time and inconvenience I have now been able to source a supply of GENUINE Volvo “O” rings at the rite price. I don’t know if I will be able to get a repeat order at a favourable price as they may get wise and hike the price. I am expecting a delivery of 100 “O” rings by Monday at the latest. Price is £0.50 pence per “O” ring and there are two on each injector. These are available to everyone while stocks last.
Jim

Sounds like a great service you are offering!!

Can you PM me with details on doing the injectors in my 854 T5??

Lead time, cost etc including supply of new O-rings. If we could do this next week that would be great!

Thanks

William.

I've just had my injectors cleaned by Jim, and I must say he's offering a first class service.

Once the injectors got to Jim, he cleaned them, renewed the "O" rings and posted them back to me the same day. They arrived the following morning, I fitted them this morning and I can already detect a distinct improvement, even on local stop-start driving.

Jim sent me photos of the "before" and "after", and also emailed a report of the process. He also kept in good contact via email and it almost felt like I'd taken them in person.

I won't go into details regarding the ****-up's perpetrated by the main dealer I bought the "O" rings from, or the Post Office in fouling up their "guaranteed next day delivery" of the injectors to Jim, but the contrast between these muppetts and Jim was like comparing the Bash Street 2nd fifteen with the All Blacks.

If you're thinking of having your injectors cleaned, and the logic for doing it is flawless, then Jim will do the job for you professionally, quickly and with great good grace.

Thanks, Jim.
