This will run around ~$200

What do you think? (52K KM)

 

Should have titled "dealer wants to take my money"

In a previous life i was an ase master tech and we did these all the time but i am not convinced it makes a lot of difference. However, you can get carbon build up in throttle body at the throttle plate and it can stick closed. You can open TB and spray carb cleaner in and use a small brush and clean yourself.

as far as injectors, if it is missing real bad at idle or failing emissions test (if you have) then might help.

Best thing you can do for carbon build up on valves is to run engine to redline every so often. This keeps the build up off by shaking loose. I have seen the same car with extreme build up which looked like a cone from base to top and the other car had zero build up. The difference - one was a little old lady car and the other was a pizza delivery dude.

 

I had a dealer tell me I HAD to do this before they would look into my warranty issue with buring all 5L of oil in about 200km.
I took my jeep back and went to a different dealer.

 

10 dollar can of throttle body cleaner from crappy tire
10 dollar bottle of fuel injector cleaner from crappy tire(was on sale for half price the other day)

i just saved you 180 bucks. hahahaha

 

My dealer just tried to rape me over $2300 for new ball joints, ujoints and pads and rotors. They denied the ball joints and u-joint under warranty because i have mods.


I spoke with another dealer that I have dealt with and they are doing it under warranty for me on Monday. Brakes of course are coming out of my pocket.


Gotta love it when you find a "mod friendly dealer"

 

Which dealer?

 

Downsview told me I had to do it, Woodbine replaced my motor under warranty at no cost to me.

 

Buy a can or two of Seafoam .. next best thing in the world for cleaning your own injectors will run about 9 per can ... the dealer makes easy money from something so simple .... there will always be another problem popping up after you vistit the dealer for some unknown reason .....

Seafoam works like a charm!!!! My wife got talked into and hosed on that TB cleaning for $180.00... Did not do a damn thing!!!! I was pissed and called the service manager that if he decides to con my wife into this type of crap. They even tried getting her to drain the diff's for $300.00... Well, we have moved on to another dealership after that!

 

Sea foam is some good shit, it burns everything off the inside of the engine. Hell, first time I put it in the mpg counter told me I was getting 28mpg, that made me chuckle.
