i tried, everything leaked out

rm35 f down the drain

My car is using a DI engine. Technically it will not be able to clean the intake valves because of the nature of direct injection. But it still helps in other ways for my car.

You used a funnel and it didn't work? Get one that's suitable for cars and not just any normal funnel.

Edit: This is something like the one I got for my friend.

oh wow lol

i'll get one from ace, i think spotted it there before

Oh, must get funnel to fill up? I thought the bottle neck is very long, cannot just pour in??

the "easy fuel" thingamabob demands a similar feel like a real pump

Yeah it shouldn't be too expensive.

He has a Fiesta which has the capless fuel tank thingy that makes things difficult

Went to Caltex BU in hopes of getting a second bottle for use, but they're out of stock. No ETA for next shipment.

Glad u got it. kulim is too far for me just to get this thing but I'll try a few more stations before deciding.

anyway u guys can refer this. its a list of nationwide Caltex stations selling TCP's.

SEriously wont' help? Meaning it wouldn't help for VW cars as well?

I've bought one bottle and waiting to refill my petrol

Actually it might, carbon build up in Di engines is because fuel is hitting the valves during injection causing build up. So if the fuel has detergent like the tcp it may help remove some

I also wasted a bottle of TCP. Was told there is a plastic funnel underneath the spare tyre. Finally manage to fill up a bottle of TCP this time.

Filled up with around 50l of petrol for my first bottle of tcp followed by second bottle with around 30l of petrol. Not sure if the techron concentrated plus does improve the RON rating but the engine does feel very energetic for the second tank.

It works on my 10 years old 1st gen Vios. Have improvement on pick up and power. Now testing on Fiesta.

i just bought 1 bottle last two days in serdang caltex, opposite got one autocity banner. The shelf still has quite many bottles when i purchased. rm35

Caltex bayan lepas, penang.
Bought two bottles, stock still available. RM35

what if i purchase a bottle of em and pour it into a petron filled fuel tank? does it work?

Instructions is to pour in an almost empty tank and refill, doesn't matter what brand

We have it sabah??

The only real way to get rid of the carbon deposit on our DI engines is to either get it manually cleaned (which is what I did) or do an Italian tune up.

It might help a bit but it won't get rid of the carbon buildup. The fuel does not go through the intake valves in DI engines. For non DI engines you're right, the fuel will hit the intake valves hence cleaning it if the fuel has detergent in it or if an additive is used in the fuel.

Yup, similar experience here. I only pump the equivalent of RON98 here and even then there's still a noticeable improvement.

how do you clean it? for DI engine?
