Precision Injector Cleaning & Testing
Fuel injector issues aren’t always obvious, but they can seriously impact performance over time. That’s why we start with a pressure and flow test to check for spray pattern problems, leakage or imbalance between cylinders.
From there, we use specialised ultrasonic equipment to break down stubborn carbon buildup inside the injector nozzles and remove deposits that affect performance under load. This process restores factory spray quality and helps prevent rough idling, hesitation and poor fuel economy. Once cleaned, we re-test and reinstall with fresh seals to ensure lasting results, reliable combustion and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do petrol injectors do in a car engine?
Petrol injectors are responsible for delivering the right amount of fuel into the engine’s combustion chamber at precisely the right time. They spray atomised fuel into the intake manifold or directly into the cylinders, allowing it to mix with air for efficient combustion. Modern engines use electronic fuel injection systems that rely on data from various sensors to control injector timing and fuel volume, optimising performance, fuel economy and emissions.
What are the symptoms of dirty or failing petrol injectors?
Common signs of faulty or clogged injectors include rough idling, poor acceleration, reduced fuel efficiency, engine misfires, or a noticeable drop in performance. You might also notice hard starting, increased exhaust smoke or a strong fuel smell. These symptoms occur when fuel isn’t being delivered properly, leading to an imbalanced air-fuel mixture. If left untreated, injector problems can cause long-term engine damage or catalytic converter failure.
How often should petrol injectors be cleaned?
Petrol injectors should typically be cleaned every 40,000 to 60,000 km, although this can vary based on fuel quality and driving habits. Vehicles used mostly for short trips or in stop-start traffic may be more prone to buildup and require more frequent cleaning. Regular injector cleaning helps prevent carbon deposits, ensures smooth engine performance, and improves fuel economy. Some mechanics offer on-car cleaning services, while heavily clogged injectors may need to be removed for ultrasonic cleaning.
