Thanks Jim

Guess that's why nobody has picked up on it.

I'm after a petrol one soon as I don't do enough miles to make a diesel a good choice, I've done just 3,200 miles in the last 14 months, I just wanted a diesel, you know what it's like when you've got something in your mind.

Thanks for the fast reply and hopefully I can make use of your services in the future.
All the best for now and keep up the good work, it's obviously much appreciated.

Regards

Hi Jim,

From reading your thread I gather that you're able to offer cleaning of other types of injectors than just the ones fitted to Volvos? If so, could you give me a quote to clean a set of 4 injectors from a Peugeot 306 Gti, the injectors are Weber IW204's and have a flow rate of 265cc/min @ 3 BAR as standard.

Thank you very much for any help,

Tom

Default Injector cleaning

Hi Jim,

I have been reading parts of this thread, and would be very interested in having my injectors cleaned.
What would be the total cost for cleaning 4 injectors from a Volvo S40 T4 (2000), including P&P?
The car is also converted to LPG.

Best regards

Rob

Default injector servicing

Hi.
In a word no. Following a disagreement with a friend I can no longer offer this service.
In addition to this my wife was rushed into hospital over Christmas with a suspected heart attack, so im sure you will appreciate I have far more important things on my mind at the moment.
Jim
