Hi Volks, It was me who just had my injectors cleaned. If you go to www.injector.com you will see some of the special equipment used to do this. I don't think it's a do it yourself kind of job unless you can get those tools cheap which I don't think is going to happen. I was also told that most injector cleaners in a can just clean the crap out of your tank and filter and put them into your injectors. Mine were orginal with 123k on them. They were really dirty the van still ran good, but now runs much better more lower end torque. I figure I should be good for another 120K out of them as long as I keep changeing the filter. I was told the bosch injectors are very reliable. Worth just paying the $130 +/- every 17 years to me and I'm cheap :) Good Luck Kevin 87 Westy Burlington VT
