Are there any obvious symptoms of a clogged fuel injector? At the previous service of my 2002 VX II Commodore, I was told there was a blockage of a single injector which needed attention. The car has travelled 30,000km and runs and idles smoothly. I disputed the need and was told to check my fuel consumption and return after 3000-4000km for another test. I recently travelled 600km and my fuel consumption was 7.6 litres/100km, which I consider excellent. Normal day-to-day travel uses about 10-11 litres/100km. My underlying concern: is this a legitimate maintenance possibility?
I would definitely dispute the need to do anything in this case. You should be able to detect a blocked injector. The engine should run a little rougher at idle and under load, but if it's not, I would suggest there is nothing wrong. The fuel consumption numbers you quote are in line with what I would expect from a VX II Commodore V6.
