Ivo @ Columbus Automotive

6741 columbus rd unit 11 back entrance

I'm looking to do it soon as well. One thing I've always wondered is if there are any improvements in terms of fuel economy after valve cleaning. Could anyone who had done it chime in?

Now that 135i 08 is going on 7 years... I also plan to do the valve cleaning. Good news for me is I've been using Ivo's @ Columbus Automotive for a while now... He's super busy, that says volumes. I was there today. I got a new battery and had to do some tire/rim work. I plan to do the work this spring.

Guess you were happy with my referral to him then?

New battery? Do tell - I'm still on my original and still going strong after 7 years.
