[TonyV]

Hi All
Anyone tried this I am tempted but not sure how well it will work, seems a reasonable price though. TIA for any info.

I would question the provenance of such claims for carbon removal. Most vehicles, today, benefit from clean fuels which discourage the deposition of carbon. I looked at this website and the skilful way that a pair of mole grips was used to peel back the air intake. Highly amusing! Save your pennies.

ok leu so you would stay away then?

Leu Last time I did any decoking it was with head off and this system seems to clean more than just the head.
Thanks for you Advice.

Have you got running problems ?
Have a look at this.

[TonyV]

OK tonyav no running problems, it was the potential improved mpg that interested me.

[tonyav]

I wouldn't do it.
A re-map would give you better mpg as well allegedly.

[TonyV]

yes tonyav all a bit of snake oil I guess?

[tonyav]

I think so to, TonyV.

[TonyV]

stick as I am I think.

Half the time things like this are a scam

[TonyV]

I am normally a bit pessimistic about claims on adds and not normally just jump in.
Thats why AB is somewhere good to bounce things of off other people.

[TonyV]

Spath wouldn't call it a scam, might just not give predicted results.
IMO scam is where you pay for something and get nothing?

Some serious rambling on that site. If the random apostrophes are anything to go by it's a greengrocer with a sideline in snake oil.

What is the engine blowing to much black smoke?

Complete gibberish. Maybe English isn't their first language.

I find that an 'Italian' tune up works very well.
