Asked by Jim Smith
WHEN I last had my 70,000km 2000 Toyota Corolla serviced the dealer urged me to have a fuel-injector service. He told me it would be 10 treatments of Wynn's Injector Clean at about $80 each. I can't find anything in the service manual about this. Is it really necessary?
Answered by CarsGuide
10 Mar 2006DEPOSITS do build up on injectors in time, making the engine run rough and causing loss of power. Some dealers recommend cleaning them as a precaution, but I would be reluctant unless the engine is running poorly. The cost you have been quoted is far too high. An injector-cleaning specialist would typically charge about $100.
