Injector clean

[Transporter]

I took my GTI in for it's 45k service and had the same line about the injector clean. They wanted an extra $199 !

The best way to void the need for the injector clean service is to use fuel system additive on regular basis, right from the start when the car is new. In case of TSI or any petrol engine I suggest Inter-Ject fuel system cleaner into every 3rd tankful. With the diesels, every time you buy fuel.

My brother is a member of a large Motor Home Club and they buy in bulk a product called MainLube, and they all use it in their Diesel motors homes and im using it in my Navara Diesel and my Golf V gt Diesel ,I was given a 1ltr bottle and ive nearly used half in 6 months and i do notice a more smoother idle in both vehicles. They also make other additives.

I've tried Lucas Fuel Additive; filled up 6 days ago.
Lucas Fuel Treatment : Lucas Oil

As per instructions, I put 330ml in the T5’s fuel tank and filled up. I have to admit that the blue smoke from the exhaust on first start up in the morning is completely gone.

The word of caution!
If your diesel has DPF box, I wouldn't use it, since I don't see any note on the product label that it is suitable for vehicles equipped with the DPF. But that's only me, you make your own decision.

I have also just tried a bottle of the Liqui Moly SPEED TEC Diesel whilst I wait for the Wurth products.
I must say it is pretty good! Sells for $20 - $25 at various Supercheap / autObarn retailers.

Out of interest, has anyone tried the Liqui Moly TOP TEC 4200 5W-30 engine oil?
It has the following approval VW 504.00/507.00.

I am interested in trying it...

Yes, I know they don't have the best website and that link in pdf The assembly professionals is changing every month, so it's hard to quote their specific information. As for Liqui Moly oil, if it has MOS2 in it, it would be probably the best oil for TDI's.

Yes I know, it is great stuff I'm already using LM Engine Protect (Mos2) in all our rides except Tiguan (still too soon).
