The ed ghia has only done 85k km but since ive flushed every single fluid and changed all the filters, i wanna take out the injectors and get them ultrasonicly cleaned.
I dont want to use that injector cleaner crap in the tank because I assume it will loosen up all the crap in the fuel system and it wont clean the injectors.
It reccomended that injectors be ultrasonically cleaned every 80,000kms. Bottles of injector dont work, they're just an additive which helps gum them up even more.
Cost is about $20-$30 per injector from memory. If you're in melbourne i can recommend a good place for you.
While on the topic of injectors - I use LPG more than ULP - for obvious reasons, and I'm guessing my injectors get a little bit dried out because of this ? My car has done nearly 160K so cleaning the injectors would probably be a good idea - where was the place in Melbourne that you can recommend ?

hehe - I hear ya mate ! Still, at least you have the opportunity to start with your 8 and work it if you wanted to, unlike me I have a 6, which I want to work pretty full on (all in due time) however, I just feel starting with a 6 is already a compromise . OK, I'm finished rambling - just had to say, that I love your ride !!

Its a fairly straight forward job doing it yourself(Inj removal) but is rather fiddly & time comsuming. the worst part would be removing the upper manifold.
Easy enuff to take it to a Bosch Repairer & pay them the money to do it all.....
I prefer to remove all the gear myself knowing once its done everything was the way I found it
Yeah understandable - I would *like* to do it myself, but just unsure what to do exactly. Aw well, I'll probably take it to the place that Jase recommends and see how that goes - Will keep y'all posted ;-) Thanks for the input !

Yeah, done it recently on my XR6. Get the guys who do it to give you before and after flow rates. Some injectors may not come back up 100%.
When I took my car in, turns out one injector was cracked, and flowed something like 40%, another didn't flow much better, ended up buying a complete new set for around $180, which was around the same price as an ultrasonic clean.
Repco do changeover injectors, and at the time they were buliding up stock, so I ended up with 6 new ones rather than recoed, this was about 3 months ago. Might be worth checking out if you have some dud ones.
Bah! $hite hit the fan last week and weekend was flatout, so I am still yet to get off my a$$ and get them done! Good that u reminded me though - will try my best to get the ball rolling this week, despite my dilapadated finances :-(
Cheers,
Steve
