I think for general cleaning, u are just going to have a choice of additives to put in your tank, such as redex etc. Couldn't say if one brand works better than another though

If that doesn't cure the problem, you may need to take them to a bosch agent who will have a machine they put them on and it does the job, but probably looking at Ãƒ”šÃ‚£30- Ãƒ”šÃ‚£50 for the bosch agent to do that, assuming they then don't also recommend you replace half of them!

Someone may have a different view however, but that's my opinion.

geezer - i'm only new myself, only had car since easter weekend, but as you can see by my number of posts, i've been a pretty frequent visitor since joining up.

The zone is an excellent place to chat about your car and if you have a problem or need advice, there's usually someone in the know.
good luck!

PS - if you're gonna get your injectors cleaned, it is worth getting the fuel filter changed beforehand, othewise you risk clogging them up with crap if you don't. Particularly if the fuel filter has been on a while and if you are frequently running on vapours like me!

Redex worked great for me old escort. Ive been suggested using thinners for cleaning the e30 injectors if you take them out but im not an expert on that. Maybe others on the zone may have done!
