    Seized Injectors

    When I tell you that all 8 of my injectors are seized inside of my engine I’m not lying. I’ve gotten 3 out but they’ve taken about 30-45 mins each of careful prying and penetration fluid. I stopped at 3 because the next one I tried working on really did not want to budge and I thought I’d come...

    Difficulty removing Fuel Injectors (Images)

    What's up guys, it's been a while since I've posted. I recently had to replace my alternator and since I was under the hood and I had a vacuum leak in my upper intake manifold I decided to change it out for a new one. Needless to say one thing lead to another and since I had the upper intake...

    My Ex is at the dealer right now getting some warranty work done and the SA calls me to let me know the 15k mile fuel injector cleaning is recommended. Seriously? Is this normal? I've never heard of that frequent interval on my German cars. What do you think?
