Default Injector Cleaning/Balance

So I normally use Witchunter to do this but according to their website they are backed up and not accepting any injectors right now. Can anyone recommend another company?

Thanks

I just used RC Engineering in Torrance, CA for my 944.

How often do you guys do this? I've never had it done.

I had mine done recently because I had a rebuilt motor. According to their report, 2 of the 4 were way off. They cleaned and fixed them with a report putting them all about even with # of cc flowing.

look for someone that does diesel injector service locally. they should have the bench cleaning equipment.
I've used an outfit called accurate technical service up here in Western Michigan three times now (once each for the 944, 968 and my Audi), very pleased with the quick turn around and work - all of the injectors have come back looking and (according to their flow report) working like new.

Van,
I'm not sure based on engine hours that I would do it more than once every 4-5 years. My problem is the matched set I had got mixed in with all the spares and I think my rich problem might be related to the questionable rebuilt units I got from a spare parts package I bought.

I'm getting a set done just to rule out injectors.

Another vote for Tim, great guy and great service. He will clean, flow-test, and sell you replacements that match if yours aren't serviceable..
