Cabin filter (If it has one)
Injectors dont normally need cleaning. Unless you have a problem I would leave them alone . Dont forget to put the cam belt tentioner and idlers on,

its called a pollen filter it filters the air coming into the car it is better to change these too also check the wheel bearings flexi pipes you could change the g/b oil too it depends how far you want to go into the service
dont forget to check the spare tyre

Some people call them cabin filter others pollen filter.
As said most new cars have them but only older cars with air con.
