Default Injector cleaner ?

Does anyone recommend a type of injector cleaner for our Jaguar's? I'm driving a 2014 XKR.


Thanks

Is there a reason why you think your injectors are dirty? This engine is GDI and the carbon buildup occurs on the valves. CRC GDI valve cleaner is the best for this application and has a higher PEA concentration compared to others. BG44K is great to put in the tank as well, but because of GDI, only cleans the fuel system.

I also have a 2014 XKR and it really is a snake oil debate, with everyone having their preference

I have used this stuff and have seen better economy figures recently following a full tank

https://www.amazon.co.uk/LINE-SI-1-Fuel-System-Cleaner/dp/B01LOJQESM/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=LINE-SI-1-Fuel-System-Cleaner&qid=1592051101&s=outdoors&sr=8-1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/LINE-SI-1-Fuel-System-Cleaner/dp/B01LOJQESM/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=LINE-SI-1-Fuel-System-Cleaner&qid=1592051101&s=outdoors&sr=8-1

If you are worried about your injectors the best thing is to take them out and send them away for cleaning/servicing/recalibration.

Even injectors in a brand new car can be 5% off, after 50k miles as much as 15% off, cost of cleaning service in the UK is around £20 per injector, so $25 in your money.

Here's the link to the CRC product, which is not a 'dump in your fuel tank' solution, so some would say as it's more direct will give the best results as a DIY job:

But @Reverend Sam 's thread is a testament to the benefits of a properly executed cleaning and the benefits. And kudos to @Queen and Country for having me think along these terms.
