Black_raven Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Whom did you employ? What is the cost? Is it worth the effort or investment? I am contemplating undergoing the procedure within the next months. I have seen a considerable number of individuals lately engaging in transactions on Facebook groups, whereby the typical mileage range of the vehicles being sold falls between 50,000 and 75,000 miles. At now, the individual's salary is at 50,000 units. Thank you for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinallcars Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I had my vehicle serviced at 42,000 miles. The overall appearance was not very unfavorable, to be honest. I have used the services of MRC for my automotive needs; but, in the future, I would likely go for a local garage that is more often frequented, since the aforementioned establishment does not possess a specialized focus in this domain. It is imperative to possess a proficient understanding of the subject matter, nevertheless, if one has adept skills in using the necessary instruments, it is feasible to do the task alone.

Black_raven Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Thank you for providing the photographs. Did you see any noticeable improvements or was there no significant change? Could you recall an approximate cost for the task? May I inquire about your preferred destination, if you are willing to share? I am also located in the county of Kent.

colinallcars Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 In terms of the vehicle's condition, it is subjective and contingent upon the driving habits of both the current and prior owners. The total cost of £1200 included the replacement of seals, adjustment of the map, and the allocation of time for dyno testing. The total cost for the work, including components, is £700. Kent Automotive, located in Maidstone, is a prominent establishment in the automotive industry. I have developed a strong rapport with them, resulting in a deep understanding of my character and personality. Impressive group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_raven Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Indeed, I am familiar with the subject matter you mentioned and have been actively monitoring their activities on the social media platform Facebook for a considerable period of time. This may seem recognizable as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinallcars Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 That will be the chosen option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torque2me Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I had my vehicle serviced for injector replacement. I have not seen significant disparities. The negative impact of forced induction is mostly seen in non-applicable (N/A) automobiles, whereas its effects are relatively less significant in the context of forced induction.

MDMH757 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I have just performed a carbon cleaning procedure on my vehicle. The disparity is rather significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_raven Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Pleasant What was the mileage on your vehicle, my friend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torque2me Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Mileage as of 2016: 8V 31,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_raven Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 To ensure your safety, did you choose for the updated injectors? What was the price tag, buddy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychil Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 After taking the 8v pfl's swirl flap screws out and rethreading them, I installed the obsolete injectors. Top and bottom intake manifold gaskets are an additional £25 (+VAT) apiece, in addition to the injectors (at £160 + VAT each). The injector repair kit is included with the new injectors, so there's no need to buy one separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenkeyte Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Is it possible to thread lock the swirl flap screws without too much trouble? According to what I've heard, a kit is needed since you have to change the core plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychil Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Once the lower manifold is removed, the core plugs can be pried out with an appropriate punch and the swirl flap screws may be undone one at a time and reLoctited. I purchased brand new core plugs from eBay, but the originals can be reused with care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
