No need to clean the injection system, it won't touch any of the carbon on the nozzles, so unless you remove the injectors, clean and reshim them, imho you're wasting you're money...

Change the fuel filter and it'll be fine, if the injectors are to a point where they need cleaning, injector cleaner won't touch them!

If you want your car running like new - save your money up, get a new set of nozzles for £100 or so and get them installed... Will make it like new imo...

What Ruan said, any form of diesel injector cleaner is pretty pointless to be honest...only way to clean them is to strip them down, but if your doing that, may as well replace the nozzles for brand new ones, better the diesel is atomized cleaner / better it will run, so always worth getting injectors working bang on!

just a price guide I got mine refurbed with new nozzles for around £125 there abouts, for all 4, this was 3 years ago but the place isn't known for its cheap prices. so not a bad price
