Power Flush?

focusyn · #1 03-14-2005, 11:20 PM

Anyone ever had a Power Flush done to their car at a dealer or independent shop? Any car, not just a Focus. BG is a popular company, there might be others.

If you don't know what I am talking about, basically, they hook a machine up to some system of your car( usually transmission or fuel system) and flush it out somehow. It's usually around $50 and up at a dealer.

Anyone have any experience with this service or is it a rip-off? Just curious, I see ads all the time for it.

ooooooor... you got alot of metal chips from gears and stuff... ya... that would suck but i've seen it quite a bit.

oh and also... on most ford trannies... there's a magnet right at the bung hole (hehe, bung hole) that collects all these said little teeth of gears and chips and stuff... so most likely you won't see much results if you do it.

I just put the tranny reference in their so people would know what I was talking about. My car is a 5-spd, so I don't need tranny flushes.

I was thinking of the fuel system flush. Any thoughts on that?
