    Injector cleaner?

    Hi all,

    My vr4 has around 96k on the clock (1600 miles under my ownership!). I'm considering running some injector cleaner.

    I run him exclusively on Tesco momentum 99 octane, he's running amsoil 0w-40

    Any recommendations on which one? Or are you going to tell me to swerve it entirely?

    I get around 110 miles per tank driving to work and back, 7 mile runs each way, stop start traffic throughout, 30 zones apart from about a mile on the motorway but this is actually the slowest part, stop start all the way!

    I know 110 is ok for a tank for this type of route but I'm keen to see if that will improve with injector cleaner...plus it sounds like a good idea for longevity as I'm intent on fully restoring the car to concourse condition!

    Thanks,
    Alex

    As I posted that, it showed me a thread that I couldn't find through the search bar for exactly the same question, sorry mods you can delete this!

    You can send injectors away to https://injectorcleaning.co.uk/post.htm where they flow test them, clean them, replace filters/o-rings, and send them back, for just over £100 for all six.

    @Davezj can also provide just the replacement seals/filters for a fraction of that if preferred.

    Thanks mate, I think this is an over winter job as my vr4 will be sat comfy under a protective sheet avoiding the salty roads!
