Just a quick question. My husband just dropped off my 2004 Discovery at the dealership for service. The service manager told him he needed to have the fuel injectors cleaned/flushed and that it would cost $160. Is this standard procedure for a car with 42K miles?

Thanks in advance.

 

What kind of gas are you running?

 

I alternate between mid-grade and premium.

 

First stop switching octanes, it dives your ECU crazy and robs you of mileage and power.
Don't have the dealer clean the injectors. When he has a chance, have him contact me and I will walk him thru a very simple process that will work better then the dealers process and cost you about$20.

Stick with premium gas all the time? (Isn't that the obvious answer? )

 

mike...can you let me know how to clean them too i have an 03 with 52k thanks

 

Honestly, I am just kind of wondering if anyone else has even had this done. It wasn't something we were expecting and it seems kind of expensive to me. I don't know if this is standard procedure and they encourage everyone tohave their fuel injectors flushed/cleanedor if we were made to believe it was something that needed to be done since our Discovery is almost out of it's warranty period. I have a sneaking suspicion it might be one of those add-on, money-making, must-do's.

 

All the dealers arew doing this now, it is an easy sell and good profit.

Send me your tele number and I'll be glad to call you and walk you thru it.
