Anyone use it anymore ?
-
I do mate, and I think it works but its not instant. I notice the car pulls stronger now after 2 tanks of petrol and 1 full bottle of redex.
Also makes white smoke when cold but goes away after 3rd tank is put in . Smells dieselly at the back end lol.
-
Right will pop some in the tank tomorrow.
Cheers
-
Right in went the Redex, I drove 3 miles parked up then had a few troubles starting, I then drove 160 miles with no trouble.I have done about 80 miles today with a lot of stalls??
Redex recommend 1 bottle for 4 full tanks of the dear stuff ,I will be doing as they say as I have heard it is good stuff , I just feel a right arse when I keep stalling!
Will let you know the results(if any) when the bottle has been drunk.
WHERES THE SPALL Chuk GOON??
-
i find the new redex real thinned down, the old stuff was like proper oily, the new stuff is like water in comparison, just an observation! put the old stuff down your carbs and then you knew what white smoke was!
-
yeah and had to hand rev it or it would choke on it lol.
Do a tank top-up with another £10 or £20 if it'll fit as that will meter it down a bit.
The only downside is it wont clean the throttle body :cry: obviously as the fuel is sprayed into the cylinder directly.
-
Cheers chaps.
I was planning to adding it to another full tank as I have another long drive tomorrow (dropping the kidds back at their fatarseuglywhoreslagdoubleechinnedwithstubblearsebreathedone)not bitter, just hate the f*cking sl*g!
1664 cant beat it!
Again spell check !!!

Cheers chaps.
(dropping the kidds back at their fatarseuglywhoreslagdoubleechinnedwithstubblearsebreathedone)not bitter, just
lol I have one of those... but fortunately he wont see he son so I dont have to see him!!
Always looked at redex but never done it. Fear of the unknown. Maybe give it a bash on my week off when I can thrash my car about.

I read an article in a custom mag years ago where they tested wynns injector magic, and it gave bhp results on the dyno and it worked.
The car was an opel manta, they dyno'd it first and it had lost some horses from new spec, ran I.M. through it for 100 miles and retested it, the horses were back!
-
Monkey, give it a go, I put second shot in full tank today and it ran well! re your ex , your so lucky not seeing him,so wish I could just pick my boys up without seeing her!
Scotsman once again mate, thank you, I will let the Redex settle then might give Wynns a try.
-
Cheers for that. Not sure which one to try now tho! I've got easter week off, So will blat my car about for a bit. (Found a nice little country road that no-one seems to use, but have realised that my car handles like poo round corners, tokyo drift kinda thing)
That should give me the chance to run it in properly.
Andy, my ex isnt my ex as yet.... the gimp just wont sort the paper work out. Just dont understand how he can walk away from his son but wont let me be free of him.... ggrrrrrr
-
Monkey, yeah tip some in on your week off.I have to admit it sh!t me up when It failed to start on 1st turn after I 1st added,but running like a dream now.
As they say anyone can be a Dad but it takes a real man to be a father! Might have the words wrong there (1664!)
Good luck
-
I have always used Redex and yes I used to love pouring it into carbs! Great fun.
Just a word of caution though dont use it too regularly. Best if its only repeated say after 500 miles.
Which means its about time I did mine again!! :smug:
-
i put in some STP injector cleaner in mine and about 20 -30 miles later i could feel the difference. better response, smoother idle and smoother ride.
just like to add i have one of those :angry:

and agree with
your so lucky not seeing him,so wish I could just pick my boys up without seeing her!

-
I would miss a tank then give it a shot!
