Did you use V-Power? Or just any 99RON petrol? Thanks

I'm going to give it a go when I get back from Holiday.

Hmmm, Redex is pretty much just an upper cylinder lubricant, so a lot of older engines may feel like they're running a bit smoother when using it.  It does what leaded petrol used to do, pretty much.

This BGK stuff sounds interesting though.  Might give it a whirl.  However, nothing smooths out a TFSI quite like new injectors and a decarbon though!

I've just finished putting a can of BG44k through my gti, can't say I've noticed that much of a difference, throttle response has maybe slightly sharpened but Id say that was about it. That was a full tank of BP Ultimate too.

Your thinking of a oil treatment additive, not this fuel one so don't worry

My tank was about 1/3 full. Stuck the whole can in (spilt some down the side of my car for good measure) and filled up with petrol.  :signLOL:
