And although it's a very effective machine, the cost of £70+ is a shame  :sad:

had a bit more of a read up about it and the bullsh!t alarm is almost about to go off.

basicly all it's doing is fueling the engine with something thats not petrol i see a lot of hype about something thats probaly not all that.

on a direct injection engine its not going to clean the crap out the manifolds or ports ( mainly baked oil residue from the block breather )

as you see they pull the fuel return line  my guess be they are useing a diffrent fuel at a higher pressure.

50p says its a mixture of alcohol and solvent   probaly acetone and ethanol or something allong those lines

all the VW's have gone bar 1.

Water works just fine, just unhook a vacuum line and drop it in a bottle of water. If the engine tries to bog, pull it out quick.

Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do. Going to unhook the vac line that goes to the airbox.

Will try and do it in the next week or so  :smiley:

95% certain there is an ethanol mix going through.
