Anyone use it? Does it really help with the TDI performance? I know it boosts the cetane in the diesel fuel but does it really work? Is it VW approved?

Replying to: ndmike88 (Jun 29, 2009 3:30 am) I do use it primarily for: 1. H20 emulsification 2. fuel pump lubricity These are all chemical reasons I can NOT see. 3. It does boost the cetane, 4. boosts power 5. offers high detergency 6. better mpg 7. cleans injectors and combustion system but I really have to take their word for it. VW's official recommendation: no additves are necessary or required. |

Replying to: mikemartin (Jun 27, 2009 7:10 pm) I was on the verge (or so I thought) of buying a 2009 TDI, but don't want to be orphaned with a long-term maintenance problem. Maybe it is all a bad dream and doesn't really amount to anything.

Replying to: ruking1 (Jun 28, 2009 7:06 pm) Personally, aside from the gear heads and aficionados, I don't think more than 10% of Americans would buy a diesel even if they guaranteed you 50 mpg $5 a gallon. Why? Because as fuel costs go up, gas engine efficiency, aerodynamic design and weight-saving technology goes up---historically this has always been true at least. so I guess I'm saying that diesel tech is not a solution, but rather an alternative out of many alternatives. for some however, the perfect solution --people like me, who need some cargo capacity, like in a sportwagon, and who drive 20000 miles a year. |
