There are a few YouTube videos and all seem to suggest it works.

I have sticky vanes in my 2.4 puma 90. I tried fuel additive over 1000 miles, no difference.

Tbh, when you need 2 bottles at £35-40 each I"d pay the extra for a terraclean. 2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal |

Hmm, Terraclean, I had also thought about this, but know a guy who`s Mondeo was never the same afterwards, and not in a good way. I would be interested if anyone has has any good experience of Terraclean or HHO cleaning. |

Mmm? I'm sceptical still to be honest. I can't get my head around Revive fluid surviving the cylinder ignition temps to then continue to travel through exhaust valves and through and over turbo blades in a split second but still managing to remove crud, surely all that's seen emerging from exhausts is just steam? |

I regularly use Dipetane. Came across it when I had problems with the fuel pressure regulator sticking. I was told the only fix was a new high pressure fuel pump at €1200 + labour. I asked SWMBO to get some injector cleaner thinking I had nowt to lose and she came home with Dipetane. I put in the tank and gave the fatty an Italian tune over 30 miles or so. Problem solved. 18 months later it's still going well.

I ran the revive treatment yesterday. Hard to tell any massive differences yet but the throttle response seems a little better. Seems to pick up quicker. 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded |

Haven't tried diptane in the RR but used it in a truck engine and worked wonders re the emissions |

Why do you need two bottles? Cheers
