Do You Need an Injector Flush? Injector Flush: Are They Taking You to Cleaners? Is the fuel-injection cleaning sold by many independent garages and dealerships a sound investment in your vehicle, or a marginally beneficial service pushed on consumers to fatten profits? Fuel-injection service is part of a bigger trend in automotive maintenance that includes such procedures as flushes for crankcases, power-steering pumps and cooling systems, as well as for differentials and other lubricated parts. How are you supposed to react when a service advisor tells you that your throttle body needs to be cleaned at a cost of $80? Or that your intake manifold is so dirty that it is causing performance loss and poor fuel economy? Before you shell out a dollar on any of this stuff, it would be useful to know something about fluid changes and the cost of these exotic flushes. If you read your owner's manual carefully-something most motorists never do-you will probably find no recommendation or even a mention of a power-steering flush or fuel-injection service or any of those other expensive cleanings.

Generally, auto makers are trying to design mechanical systems that require far less maintenance, not more. Tire Stores Warsaw IndianaThat has given rise to 100,000-mile tune-up intervals on many new models, elimination of transmission fluid changes and far less frequent oil changes. Puppies For Sale Clare MiSo auto makers are telling owners they don't need to spend as much to take care of their cars and trucks. Homes For Sale By Owner Wapakoneta OhioBut some dealerships are saying almost the opposite: that you need more than ever to flush out dirty fluids frequently or run the risk of major repair bills. It would be nice if auto makers said in huge letters in their owner's manuals: "Don't flush out the fluid in your power-steering pump because, if it were important, we would tell you ourselves."

Nobody wants to be a chump who pays for something unneeded, but sometimes a flush is a good idea. Power-steering pumps, for example, are incredibly expensive to replace, and clean fluid can help prevent a breakdown. On the other hand, lots of vehicles have power-steering pumps that can go 200,000 or 300,000 miles without any hassle. Fuel-injection cleaning actually makes less sense than it did about 12 years ago, when the injection systems started to replace carburetors. At that time, poorly formulated gasoline and badly designed injector nozzles caused a lot of fouled and plugged injector tips. But that's far less the case today. Unless you have a specific performance problem, your car or truck almost certainly does not need any of these services before 60,000 miles, if ever. If you want to aggressively maintain your vehicle, you should change the oil every 3,000 miles and the transmission fluid perhaps every 35,000 miles. It also makes sense to change the antifreeze every year and the brake fluid every 60,000 miles.

Keeping accurate records of your vehicle's fuel economy, measured over three or four tankfuls of gasoline, can be helpful. Then if you suspect a problem, you can recheck it and see if your car's performance is actually degrading. Back To Advice ArticlesNot a day goes by without an email or tweet about DPFs. These troublesome filters are quickly becoming renowned for their wallet emptying powers and are attracting a lot of media coverage in the process. The last poor soul to contact me asked about using a DPF cleaning fuel additive. This type of product is very new to the market, targeting those suffering with DPF issues. DPF cleaning additives are a chemical solution added to the fuel tank which claims to aid the cleaning of a DPF filter. The additive contains a “Fuel Borne Catalyst” which in most cases is cerium oxide. This catalyst does not help increase the temperature of the DPF during a cleaning cycle however it does work to decrease the temperature at which the soot blocking the DPF will “burn off”.

(2016) We’ve been speaking to some industry experts on this matter and we’d like to offer an updated view. DPF cleaning fluids may assist with the DPF cleaning process especially if the process is struggling to reach high enough temperatures to burn off the soot blockage. This is often the case with early (2011 to early 2014) Euro 5 diesel vehicles which commonly experience DPF issues. In many cases these early cars have the DPF filters located too far away from the engine and therefore the heat required for a DPF “burn” can be difficult to reach during normal driving conditions. Therefore an additive may be a cheap and viable solution to a blocked DPF but this by not means guaranteed, especially if the DPF is clogged with Ash rather than soot. DPF Cleaners At Amazon



Our Googling of DPF cleaners has unearthed some companies offering a DPF cleaning services. This type of filter off service is used widely in commercial application such as HGVs and construction vehicles.

This process requires the DPF filter to be removed from the vehicle, it is subjected to a process which removes the soot and ash particles which are blocking the filter. This process utilises large amounts of heat, pressure and specific chemicals to remove the blockage from the filter. This can only be performed with specialist equipment. Costs for this serve seem to vary but in most cases it is much cheaper than a replacement filter and not illegal like DPF removal (more on that below). If all else fails then do be very careful how you proceed. Removing the DPF from your exhaust system has become rather a hot topic with transport regulators across the globe, if you have the DPF filter removed you encounter issues passing your MOT or vehicle inspection. For those in the UK please be aware that your car will fail it’s MOT without a DPF and with more stringent MOT testing for DPF particulates you might be caught out by opting for one of other DPF “gutting and remap” services now being offered.

Please see the following page to see how DPF removal will effect your MOT. Our advice still stands that in the first instance of seeing the DPF light you should ring a main dealer or consult your handbook. The process to kick off a DPF regeneration should be simple enough but simply taking your car out for a “thrash” but often is’t the way to resolve this issue. However, If you’re presented with the harsh reality of a either a forced DPF regeneration or costly filter replacement we do suggest that it’s worth running some DPF cleaning additive through your fuel system. This combined with the conditions to perform a DPF clean may be enough to clean the soot from a blocked filter and extinguish your warning light.
