98gt Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Has anyone used this stuff on their engine? If so, what were your impressions? I was thinking of giving it a go as it's supposed to remove deposits from valves etc. and Zetecs have a bit of a reputation for sticking exhaust valves. As always, any help is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Did not make a single bit of difference mate, tried would not recommend it to anyone....get carb cleaner spray that direct into throttle bodyremove spark plugs clean them with white spirit and check gapssquirt redex into each spark plug holerebuild everything and switch it on makes my engine run a lot better, smoother idle and acceleration it smokes for 2 mins quite a bit (shows its working) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I would agree that 10k isnot very good for the new zetecs. I dont know why but it dont make that much of a difference. I did on me old CVH and Pinto tho.... not noticable at all on zetecs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansGTI Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I would agree that 10k isnot very good for the new zetecs. I dont know why but it dont make that much of a difference. I did on me old CVH and Pinto tho.... not noticable at all on zetecs. i wouldnt put it in my GTI, but i did try it on a 1987 1.3 Escort Bonus, well, it smoked for about 15 mins, then did bugger all!) the engine actually runs worse! probaby shagged to start with tho......

John Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 i put some STP injector cleaner through mine yesterday, gave it a good run last night, used it for work again today it could be coincidence but it does feel a lot smoother now. pulled right through the revs without feeling like it was flat in places. i think i'll give it a few more miles yet though before i declare it the best stuff ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
900ss Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I use 25psi boost if that counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I use 25psi boost if that counts thats a serious amount of boost! and no it doesn't count as this post was originaly about a gimick that is marketed normaly in the "kroozin" section of your local motorspares store, located somewhere between the "motorsport" sun strip and the "turbo" seat belt pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
