How's that going to clean your inlet valves?

It isn't  :stupid:

May clean your fuel lines, cylinder, exhaust valve and exhaust system though. They run the engine on their own fuel which has some magic cleaning power.

I wondered whether they could disconnect the MAF and run it on some form of inlet cleaner. Maybe that's the next revolution in direct injection cleaning. . .

Steve - may be worth a run on the rollers with your new map and clean fuel system?

I'm not fussed about the valves Ian, my injector is my objective as I agree, if this goes on the fuel rail, then this will treat everything from the rail to the exhaust Cat.
If I didn't have this misfire then I wouldn't be trying this. But I now my valves aren't the issue as when warm, the car is fine .

We shall see. If I get better mpg after, and a better performing car,then it's money we'll spent. You can't have clean valves all the time.  :grin:

If the injector is f00ked no cleaning will fix it!

It'll help ur high HC readings though potentially but yeah I can't see how it will clean the inlet valves as it DI bypasses that!

They claim on their site it works for DI though so lets see how Steve gets on

Yeah I thought that till all the lights came on

Just watch out for the EML mine didn't come on for a few weeks.

But I think it's inevitable unfortunately

Either that or AKS changed an injector that might of been salvageable ?

No one knows that this Terraclean will or won't do, so it's a cheaper alternative to an expensive decoke , then it's worth a go.

Even a fuel mpg improvement will be worth it  :grin:

Well the swap fixed the problem straight away. There wasn't much build up the mani was off from what he can see.

Mine was probably a load more than u though. Was counting into the hundreds and thoughout the rev range

I also read the R-tech Nick was looking at becoming a dealer.. Wonder if he has any feedback whether this works?
