Check driveshaft boots every service.

Yup, that is important. It was already there in the service summary.

Yes i saw it was present but in 20000 service. So i mentioned that it can be checked in every service.
I think your point might be to replace?

Just for information....
How much does it cost for cleaning injector and fuel pump? I was charged 1000 and 500 for these.

hmm.... i asked that question because, some one told me that it costs only 400 for injector cleaning.

Back to topic, does the injector cleaning and fuel pump cleaning has to go hand in hand?

GTO · 29th January 2008, 10:05

Cleaning a fuel pump? Thats a new one. AFAIK, the fuel pump is a non-serviceable item. Is it the fuel filter you are talking about?

gkrishn · 29th January 2008, 20:43

Yes, fuel pump. The job reads as cleaning fuel pump, restrainer(!?), remove refit fuel pump.... 500Rs.

Got to say that this "injector and fuel pump cleaning" job has made the engine a lot smooth. When you accelerate, there is difference in the way engine purrs.
