I used injectortune about 18 months ago and the service was great.

Are you sure any email hasn't gone to your junk folder? It's happened to me recently with my insurance renewal notices (car and home!) despite me making no setting changes I'm aware of in the last 12 months.

Checked my emails/spam nothing just fired off another via the send message on the injectortune website

Mr Injector UK is another have used them and already suggested many times before

Got a reply back from website form on injectortune, guess other emails never made it

I serviced the injectors on my S3 with a service kit from www.mrinjectoruk.co.uk. It's very straightforward with good YouTube backup if needed. If you're up to removing the injectors yourself, you'll have no problems servicing them.

All well and good, but merely 'servicing' them by changing a couple of bits doesn't actually test them, nor clean them e.g. ultrasonically, nor enable you to compare flow rates, spray patterns etc etc. Half a job.

Got sorted in the end. Been posted off hopefully have them back in a few days.

My biggest disappointment with this site is that it seems to be policed by rude pedants who get some sort of kick out of posting off-hand slights like this.

I was offering comment on something I'd done in the past and a supplier I'd used when I had a handful of injectors which (as far as I knew) worked perfectly OK - when you're in that situation and have an opportunity to do some preventitive maintenance and improve what you've got by changing filters and o-rings, why not just do it? Of course the perfect solution is ultrasonic cleaning etc, but dismissing anything alas as 'half a job' is a little naive, not to mention unnecessary.

But the OP'er asked for a cleaning service and TwinKam gave an opinion on doing what you advised whats the prob?
