Question Fuel injector cleaning?

What do other owners recommend? I was thinking going to shop and have their fuel injector system cleaner process since in all 7.5 years of ownership never had anything done besides the typical bottle poured into gas tank. Thanks

Something Slow
When I remove my intercooler to replace it. There was a fair amount of gunk like stuff around the injectors had to use a small pick to clean them good.

I work for an MB dealership in Canada, and we exclusively use TerraClean for injector services. Check out their website. We have a terraclean machine, and we use their chemical flush and it works very well. Have seen flow tests done before and after... also if you use it properly it injects into the intake as well and cleans that out. On the diesels it makes a huge difference!!!

They also have an application guide, where they will show you where the fuel pump disable is... and where to connect to the fuel rail with pictures and diagrams... very good company and product.

Does the occasional additive to a fuel tank of gas fuel injector cleaner work well, or is recommended?

ZAYED,,
Thanks. I am learning a lot here, and the first thing is seems to be that MB is of a different caliber of quality and owners care a great deal more about their cars than most.

Are there 'little things' like this that you do, or do you only rely upon the mechanic?

I have no mechanical ability or knowledge, but intend on learning...now.

Thank you again,

Peter

PS: I have not found 93 octane in Maine yet...91 is the highest I have found. Anyone else only able to use 91?

I'm with you: new and having a blast. The comfortable ride and sporty handling...this is something I thought was mutably exclusive.
