Message Check my sig .... I do have a little experience in the field of automotive repair ...

In over 20 years I have never seen an injector becme "unclogged" just by cycling it at a higher duty cycle. Injectors typically go bad electrically (windings break) and are tested using an ohm meter. A clogged injector draws higher amperage which causes the windings to break creating higher resistance which is why an ohm meter is used to check them. As with anything electronic heat is the enemy which boils down to "more amperage creates more heat" which causes the failure. Even a clogged injector still disperses fuel (not very well though) so, I think that the story is BS.

All dealerships will take short cuts known to work and still charge you the "book rate" in order to increase profittability ... even though they will not admit it. They may not know obout the dremel method but, I will bet you dollars to donuts they will use that method in the future, on some unknowing Z owner, while billing the 12-14 hours the labor guide lists.

talk to the service manager if the bill seems incorrect
