True to say that petrol engined 'injectors' don't seem to have the same level of service available for them as their diesel counterparts that can be stripped/cleaned and calibrated.
Usually it's just a case of 'replacing' them if they are suspect (don't spray correctly) however, I do know that there are several proprietory additives designed to 'self clean' the injector tips to ensure correct function..Companies like FORTÉ do a bottle of stuff that is added to a part full tank of fuel.

I might be wrong and there may be a 'BOSCH' service point for these? try ringing a main Bosch agent or Bosch injection specialist.

there are places that test them and clean them ultrasonically , replace the hoses and fit new internal filters and then retest them
google ultrasonic fuel injector cleaning, I used the place in Hull, £75ish for 4 24 hour turnaround the rubber seals are nla from VW so classicparts/heritage for them

Yep, I've used them before, too - http://www.injectorcleaning.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I was absolutely blown away by the difference they made to the ol' Saab - totally removed a mid-range flatspot, and made it much smoother rolling throttle on. Also improved fuel economy a bit, because it was so much easier to drive smoothly. No way would any fuel additive do a similar job - mine were so mucky that they needed to go through twice the normal cycle. Three of the four were leaking when the engine was switched off, meaning it briefly revved high when restarted after five-ten minutes, three had bad flow patterns, and all the flows were different.
