Diesel Injector Fuel Cleaners

[cabcurtains]

I tipped a tin of the BG in the Avensis and it did nothing, there are 2 ways to look at this, either it doesnt work or the car is working correctly. As its only got 14k on the clock i would go with the latter.

£20 up the spout pal ? (or should that be `down the hatch` )

Nothing ventured nothing gained , i hoped it would help, but the only answer on this car is to drive long distances at low speed. I want to praise Toyota as i've bigged them up for years, but its very difficult with the later cars :(

Now if it had 60k on the original injectors it would be interesting to see if there was a difference.

I wouldn't have thought that using BG in a motor with 14k wouldn't have done out either! But now it might work and you know its not gonna cost you a pennie to use!!! Powerenhancers have a 100% money back warranty on the Snake oil so if you're not happy you get all your wonga back! and you dont even have to send the can back! I used there BG44 on me mums C3 petrol and never noticed a difference, so I got my wonga back and went down the pub for a few jars with the money!

With an MOT due in 2 weeks, 2 rear tyres due pretty soon and a problem with the rear brakes sticking and needing new pads, I won't be buying anything else for the car for a while. As good as it is, I can't justify it as i'm losing interest in the car, and the brand.

Oo !

what ya fancying now mate ?

To be honest, I don't know.

I really enjoyed the Fabia vRS when I owned it, so its on the short list, but would have to be in Good condition as they are getting old now.

Might be tempted with a petrol if the price is right as the MPG on mine is not acceptable for a diesel engine. I know it is a 2.2 with 180bhp etc etc, but it could be better if it wasn't for an over active DPF (this is a presumption based on many discussions and personal opinion).

But, as always I need to find a car that suits the budget, is reasonable to run and easily tuneable should I decide to. Vag group seem to tick the boxes so far....

As it happens, my local Toyota dealer are looking to buy used cars out right, so I have emailed them for a quote. If the deal is good, I will snap their hand off.

Have to be honest and say I can`t complain about my Verso at all which after a couple of `long` journeys (15miles) is currently at 52.9 mpg

Coming up the motorway at just under 2k 61.8 :D

[Daveyonthemove]

If my Auris would get close to 60mpg I'd be more than happy.

Best I've ever seen from a run was 50.3mpg, and dropped like a stone towards the end of the tank.

Anyway, I've hijacked the thread a bit...

Davey I love diesels and swore I`d never return to petrol but with all new euro5 diesels having a DPF I`m rapidly changing my mind.

Now I know some say they`ve never had a problem with their DPF equipped car (I`d issues with my 2.7d Jag) but they are potentially a major problem that I personally would rather do without.

I'm in 100% agreement, and posted a very similar post on another forum we both use.

[dervdave]

If manufacturers can come up with reliable emission control system for diesels that is urban user friendly all might not be lost. B)

[cabcurtains]

Well i got to do 400 miles tomorrow and if its at 60 i will take an extra 1hr each way, looks like another 40 MPG tank full , which aint that bad really.

I cant decide if its petrol or diesel next time, Diesel the ticking time bomb or a petrol guzzler with less worries.

[Daveyonthemove]

Cheaper to buy, and equal on fuel which is lower at the pump.. the gutless petrol suddenly has my interest :(

[cabcurtains]

Petrol with a small turbo would do nicely, shame Mrs CC wants another MPV or 4x4.

Fits the bill on both counts, a 1 litre 120ps is among the range.

I will be having a serious look ay them.

Not keen mate eh ?

Well it would be a boring world if we were all the same.

We are getting slightly off topic but I agree with what is being said.

I bought a Toyota for its supposed legendary reliablity and a diesel because I was going to keep it for twenty years.

You have to do massive mileage before a diesel engine pays for itself - though the torque is good.

I now feel cheated and my faith in Toyota is dwindling.

I still get 65mpg+ but why should I put up with warning lights on the dash that tell me something is wrong when it patently isn't?

Toyotas refusal to sell me a workshop manual also makes me unlikely to buy or recommend the marque.

When the Toyota salesman asked if I liked the car some months after buying it I said well it's OK but not a Honda or a Mazda....

[Daveyonthemove]

What faults?

Thats because they dont make workshop manuals, everything is online and you can buy time online if you need technical info, it costs about €3 an hour and you can print off or save the info

Kingo

[fat Bob]

Online manuals are useless when you have dialup or are at the roadside. The ability to flick quickly through pages and digest information is far better in a bound book. It's pure laziness on Toyotas part.

I have had no internet access for a few days and the car won't start am I meant to walk 15 miles to an internet cafe?

[versoowner2]

i've not done it with a modern engine but i've used ATF(auto transmission fluid) at a 8-10% ratio in the tank to clean injectors

it stopped a smokey warm up ;) ;)
