Car : myvi 1.3 auto ezi 2010
Odometre : 67k+ km Tires : front 175/65/14 - rear 185/60/14 (33 kPa front n rear) Products used - 1 - Redline SI-1 and Caltex Techron Concentrate plus 2 - Lubegard red for my ATF Before : 370-380km per full tank or 11-12km per litre of petrol. After : 490-500km per full tank or 14-15km per litre of petrol. Testimonial : i've been driving this vehicle since a year plus and my full tank of petrol till the indicator blinking lasted me roughly 370-380km. Before "Balik kampung", i changed the rear tire to 185/60/14 yokohama blue earth tires, changed the ATF and added in the lubegard red. I also filled up full tank of BHP petrol with whole bottle of redline SI-1. My journey to kampung took me 250+km and i don't monitor my mileage because of speeding(130km/h on average). I finished the whole tank of petrol at my kampung by jalan jalan. For my journey back to KL(250km+) , I used the Caltex Techron Concentrate plus with full tank of petronas primax 95. My speed was averaging at 110-120km/h on average. The rest is normal city drive. Will observe 2nd and 3rd full tank of petrol before conclude that this stuffs work for my car.

Then it would be a better test.

QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Jun 27 2014, 08:43 PM) Because it is so "crappy" and BMW also OEM Techron Cleaner with their branding. Never thought BMW repack TCP as their OEM cleanerSTP, never worked a thing. Prestone I don't know. I am happy with it's effect, that's it. The other brand that works is Lambda. i know mercedes also got this kind of cleaner but not sure suitable to DI engine? QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Jul 4 2014, 04:22 AM) I can't possibly be assuring you that it will help, cause I am not selling the product either. But just that as to me, it works on whatever car I tested, be it my 16 years old kembara, to 5 years old City/Civic/Merc. And IMHO, RM35 is not too much hurt to try? Lambda Premier Set use to flush engine? mind to share link ? i am interest to my 03 wiraAnd also IMHO, engine flushing wise... Use Lambda Primer Set will yield better result and more economical. QUOTE(pengster @ Jul 24 2014, 03:24 PM) I had it manually cleaned. The workshop guys removed the intake manifold and soaked the valves in a solution for a couple of hours before scrubbing all the carbon out. BMW has their own procedure for their DI engines which is called walnut blasting. It seems to be a normal procedure for them to have their valves blasted once in a while. May i know where u did this? looking for my prince engineFor reference, take a look at how bad the carbon buildup was on my car » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(pengster @ Jul 25 2014, 03:52 PM) Yup it's pretty bad. But its common among the VW/Audi 2.0TFSI engines and on the BMW DI engines. Doing a full carbon cleaning once in a while is common practice for owners here. But, an italian tune up every now and then helps keep our valves clean Here's one of the valves after cleaning: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Jul 27 2014, 03:43 AM) Kembara - 150K mileage Notice CGI is DI engine , this cleanser help?C200 CGI - 46K Mileage FD2R - 42K Mileage Getz - 58K Mileage Hummer H3 - 16K Mileage Honda City - 98K Mileage |

CGI is DI yes, it does not help with the intake valve, but for some reason the below 2500RPM powerband much smoother before the boost came in to help. |
