Frequently Asked Questions
What fuel injector services do you offer?
Our team can accurately diagnose fuel injector issues using advanced diagnostic tools and methods. If a fault is detected, we replace injectors with high-quality parts that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. This ensures your car receives the right amount of fuel at the right time, restoring performance and reliability. In addition, we also inspect related components like fuel filters, pressure regulators and sensors to ensure the entire fuel delivery system is operating correctly.
How often should I get my fuel injectors checked?
There isn’t one set timeframe for every vehicle, as it depends on your driving conditions, fuel quality and how well the car is maintained. As a general guide, we recommend having your injectors and fuel system inspected every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometres. If you regularly drive in stop-start city traffic, use lower-grade fuels, or notice symptoms like misfires, poor acceleration, or higher fuel consumption, it’s a good idea to book a check sooner. Staying proactive with inspections helps prevent long-term damage and keeps your vehicle running smoothly.
What are the benefits of fuel injector replacement?
Replacing faulty fuel injectors can make a big difference to the performance of your vehicle. Worn or blocked injectors cause poor fuel atomisation, which means the engine burns fuel less efficiently. With new injectors, you’ll notice smoother acceleration, reduced engine hesitation, and improved fuel economy. It can also lower harmful emissions, reduce the risk of long-term engine wear, and extend the overall life of your vehicle. For drivers, this means better reliability, fewer unexpected breakdowns, and potentially lower repair costs in the future.
Can bad fuel injectors damage my engine?
Yes, faulty fuel injectors can cause significant engine damage if left untreated. When injectors aren’t delivering the correct amount of fuel, it can lead to lean running, misfires, or poor combustion. Over time, this puts extra strain on engine components such as pistons, valves, and catalytic converters. It may also cause overheating inside the cylinders, which can result in expensive repairs. By diagnosing and replacing faulty injectors early, Autospark helps prevent these problems, protecting your engine and saving you money in the long run.
Is fuel injector cleaning the same as using an additive?
Negative, it’s quite different. Fuel additives can provide mild cleaning effects, but they are not a substitute for professional injector cleaning completed by a professional like those at Autospark. Additives may help prevent build-up but can’t properly remove heavy deposits or restore spray patterns effectively. A professional service from our experienced team will make sure your car gets a deep clean with specialist tools and solutions that additives simply can’t achieve.
Is using a fuel additive the same as fixing injector problems?
Not quite. Fuel additives can sometimes help keep injectors cleaner for longer by reducing minor deposits, but they are not a substitute for professional servicing. Additives cannot restore proper spray patterns or flow rates once an injector is worn or blocked. If you’re already noticing symptoms like poor fuel economy, hard starting, or engine hesitation, additives won’t solve the root problem. At Autospark, we use advanced diagnostics to confirm whether your injectors are faulty and, if needed, replace them with quality parts for a permanent solution.
