Thanks for all of your comments regarding my last post on my oil going black in no time at all and excessive fuel usage etc.
Well I had the car diagnosed today at the mechanics and was told my injectors are stuffed and thats what was sending my oil black and cause of all my problems,is it worth just having them cleaned or to go a full replacement? Is it a hard job to do and would anyone have a ballpark figure on what the parts are worth and is there a writeup on doing the job as I have N.F.I on where to start. Thanks heaps guys! |

if you want more power, now is a good time to upgrade your injectors. but if you are happy with the power you have, then a clean is fine, as long as they test fine during the clean.
