The dude on the commercial on TV says to do it every time you change your oil. Further than this I have nothing to offer.

Re: fuel injector cleaner (VroomVroomRedGTI)
the dealer also has some stuff u can try, i myself have never used it.
the only three i would bother with are the dealer stuff, chevron, and lubro-moly.

Well, it can actually do some harm. Chevron admits that some techron will get past the rings and into the oil. They recommend using a bottle of Techron during the second to last tank of gas before an oil change. This way the Techron will be out of the system before you put fresh oil in, and you won't drive around for a long time with Techron in the oil.

Re: fuel injector cleaner (garbage)
Chevron with Techron is good. So is the NOS injector cleaner but ...
Most of the tuners recommend Lubro Molly Valve and Fuel System cleaner...you can buy it from Eurosport http://www.Eurosportacc.com or Rocky Mountain motorworks http://www.motorworks.com

How much do you guys pay for Techron, its kinda expencive isnt it? Well actually last time I checked was at a small 24 hr station and I'm sure the price was jacked above what Pep boys would charge. $8 a bottle... I think after 170K miles I deserve to get NEW injectors.
Wont have to clean them.

Haven't bought any Techron, Gunk or any retail brand, yet. Actually, I've only added cleaner to the BMW, mostly because I found a place that carries the Bimmer logo stuff for $2/bottle.

I was thinking of trying that stuff in the GTI, since it's cheap and meant for some kind of German car, back in the age of mechanical injection.

Anyway, once an oil change, the tank that'll be finished prior to the change, sounds like good advice in general. Of course, oil almost always has some undesirable stuff in it, that's why people in the northeast change oil prior to winter shutdown. The more important lesson there is to change the oil regularly.
