I have an 01 C240 and wanted to clean out the fuel injectors - what do you recommend as a fuel injector cleaner?

Thanks

I believe Merecedes only recommends Techron. (search the forums for "Techron" i remember reading that someone had great results with it)
Although I use Redex, Techron isn't available to me here in England.

I rely on Chevron Techron, seems to work well for me on my fuel injected cars and motorcycle. I get 4 packs at Costco and dump a bottle in a car every 6 months or so.

Saw this thread and decided to try some. Only driven for less then 1 mile so couldn't tell if there is any difference yet.

injector cleaner.Once a year added to a near empty tank of fuel,fill half way and drive till almost empty,then fill as usual with premium fuel.
If you have the 5speed automatic it is time to change the filter and trans fluid mb spec mb fluid only 722.6.
I have the special dipstick pm me for tips.
you also need to change your fuel filter.

I love that stuff- the pour cans as well as the spray bottles. I personally watched a demo of all of the things that stuff can do at an automotive and small engine repair shop I worked at when I was in college. I'm the one that picked out the equipment/engines that the vendor used for his demo- it wasn't some pre-planned trickery.

Techron works well in most cases.

If you still need better cleaning, use Redline Fuel System Cleaner. It is more expensive, and harder to find, but really does the job.
