Been watching wheeler dealers today and saw this,

What you think just a gimmick?
-
I know Ed China is personally endorsing it, injectors do actually wear out as well as get dirty so i'm not sure how it would make up for wear and tear.
-
was talking about this with someone at work the other day after he saw that ep of wheeler dealers.
personally think its a waste of time, don't know how much it costs, but ide imagine that the amount youde pay would much out weigh the end result.

as above id never use something like this. i was all ways warned off especially on older cars you start getting rid of all that build up over 10 years you might find seals or etc fail as it was the carbon holding together. ive heard horror stories from these de-gunking stuff

yeah ive heard of people doing this on old cars to petrol tanks, having them flushed out then holes that were pluged up by the muck now leak.

It costs about £75 iirc. If its just injectors you need cleaning, MrInjector has been getting very good reviews. Post your injectors off to him, you get pre cleaning report (pattern and flow rate), they are then sonically cleaned, and a report on pattern, and % increase in flow rate afterwards. He then posts them back to you all in very good time.
Everyone I know who has had it done reports great results in performance, throttle response and MPG. I remember when it was originally posted on here after the episode though, and everyone was a little sceptical. If it really was as good as they make out, far more people would be doing it as its now been available for almost two years!

My mate had it done on his sh!tter of a 206 just to try it out before he gave the bloke a contract to do his fleet of vans. He said he couldn't believe the difference it made and signed the vans over the next day.

Was talking about this again today. I thought It fully cleaned your engine.
It cleans the deposits from the injectors and inside the combustionchambers I believe. I thought it would have been a lot more than it is. One of the lads from work is going to ring up and if he can get it done for sun 100 he's going to give it a go.

Hmmmmmmm I'm really on the Fence with this.

Whats wrong with Redex?

Whats right with it lol

Redex??? Seriously, that made my car run like a heap of junk. As for products like this I think its bull, probably just some carb cleaner. Don't see what people's fascinations are with keeping the inside of their engine clean, the engine wears, the carbon build up to a degree helps etc.... its not a damn trophy that you want to polish every second.
And if its £75 and cleans injectors, so does an ultrasonic cleaner you can pick up for around £25 of amazon, at least that will work better.
