3.3TT Fuel System Cleaner

[MerlintheMad]

At 58K since I was about to hit 60K milestone I got the fuel injectors serviced/flushed. Seems a proper time at that mileage yes? Any insight on this?
Thanks guys!

My "insight" is to let Kia do the maintenance on their schedule. If cleaning injectors is recommended I will do it then.

I had my plugs replaced at the last service, (42K to 45K), because it is recommended. Ironically, shortly after that, I had my first issue with the car: a stutter for a second or two under hard acceleration, which I will mention in c. 500 miles when I go back for the next oil change: they won't find anything, because the single time in nearly four years that I have seen a CEL was related to that stutter, as I boosted onto the freeway. I've found a way around the stutter, and have not seen the CEL again, but I'm still going to mention it.

Thanks for the reply my friend! Sorry to hear you had that issue.

That's about when I'm thinking of having my done. Likely going to do the walnut blasting though, unless being done at more frequent intervals I doubt chemicals will remove all the buildup with that many miles. There are chemical methods that will work on higher mileage vehicles (I've posted a video in another thread) where the car is ran at 2000 RPM with a slow chemical drip into the intake, but this requires just as much (or more) time and costs as much as just walnut blasting.

Thanks for the comment my friend!
