Hey all - brought my '05 sedan into the dealer this morning for the 45K service. The service rep wasn't pushing a hard sell on it, but he mentioned the fuel injector cleaning service that the dealership offers.

I am the 2nd owner on the car, so I don't know what kind of fuel the prior owner had been using, but the service rep said he thought it was generally a worthwhile procedure to have done - apparently involves both a fuel tank additive and some liquids they run through the intake for 50 minutes. I was thinking I'd probably be better off saving the $150+ the service costs and putting a bottle of Techron in the tank next time I fill 'er up. Thoughts?

 

its definatly worth it, if the intake is clogged up or has lots of junk in it, you will notice a difference, i do this as part of rutine matienence on my vehicles.

 

Do it! But don't do it at the dealer, you have to take out a second mortgage to get anything done there. I would go into your regional or club forum and ask about trusted shops in the area. They may even have a sponser that offers discounts to club members. Try this

I see you are in the A! Check out fastlanes in Marrietta, they will be doing all my work from hear on, i think the owner was a nissan/infiniti mechanic or something like that and a lot of guys on frenzy mess with him! he is almost more than half the price of the stealership!

 

Does ATL have a G group down there? I'm down there a few times a year, would be cool see the ATL cars.

 

yeah, gp to mygfrenzy.com for more details

 

great plan ! ... may be clean your TB as well
I used some quality cleaner right after I bought the car, nothing since though ...
modern FI engine+premium gas from reputable seller=clean FI system (IMHO at least)
