Yeah, i'd be interested to know exactly what they did for that, did they give you an itemised list by any chance?

Also, could someone suggest the best way to relieve the fuel pressure without getting fuel everywhere? I bought a fuel filter at 75k, and my Euro has now done 85k and I still haven't fitted it...

Oh, one other thing (and trying not to take this thread too far off topic), does anyone recommend using injector cleaner (and if so, which one?) in the Euro? I don't think there is anything wrong with my injectors, just more interested in a preventative maintenance POV. Someone once told me in can improve fuel efficiency. Does a high sulfur content fuel (like we have in Aus) effect injector performance (long term)?

The dealer used an injector cleaner at my 20,000km service. I don't know which brand they used but I don't see any difference.

i just did my 80k service for $450 (no valve clearance done or air filter change).....think thats a little exp.
I've tried the valvoline fuel injector....i could see a little improvement after the next fuel refill but not much...after my 80k, my acceleration improved a lot..suspect its the fuel filter.

I pulled out the fuel pump relay (blue coloured relay behind the driver's side foot well trim (above the fuse area), then started the engine and let it run until it died on its own. Then get lots of rags, cover the fuel tubing and unclip it. There will still be some fuel that will spray out.

i'd got my 50000 service done @ automaster for under 198, didnt think valve clearance was done, anyway how often should we do valve clearance like i meant eg. every 20000km or every 40000kms service?

can i just buy the valve clearance, get this done myself? is it hard? can anyone here please guide me DIY for this

thankz
