Title: Redex
Post by: Davstylee on 09 April 2010, 08:34
Found some when hunting for something in my wardrobe, and I just wanted to know if I should use it in my engine and is it worth it, or should I bin it?

If it will clean my engine, like is says it will, even in the slightest I dont see any harm in using it, but I wanted to check with the experts (you guys) first.

Don't think you would need it if using V Power ?.

What about if you run it on normal unleaded? :rolleyes: :embarassed:

Would it make a difference then?

Was going to ask the same question, as it is a 2nd hand car and I don’t know what the previous owner fed it.

I now feed the beast with V power though.

Waste of time. Won't do anything in the tfsi engine.

Do mean Redex specifically or fuel additives in general.
Many people use Millers Octane additive for the additional octane/knock protection.

You keep Redex in your wardrobe? :laugh:

Funnily enough I have some from years back, was half wondering the same. Think I'll just bin it though.
