diesel treatment

[mike rice]

hi all, any thoughts on redex diesel treatment, i got some free when i bought 5 litres of oil from halfords, is it any good. i drive a 940 td auto with 191,000 miles, and im getting 460-500 miles on a tank. cheers mike

If its anything like all the other wonder treatments that mugs put in their oil /petrol / diesel i doubt it , although no doubt someone will claim it halved his fuel consumption and doubled his BHP output and of course made the engine so much smoother, not to mention improving his night vision

The old D24 is a much loved engine, with a manual box they get mid 40's all day long, with the auto I guess take 15% off that unless your on the motorway all the time in which case it might be better than the manual as sometimes the 4th on an auto is a higher ratio than the 5th on a manual.


Not sure how the D24's are timed (pump timing) so your best asking in the proper sub forum, you'll find people there will be able to help make sure its running top.

Cleaning injectors, fuel additives make very little difference IME, better to just pull the injectors and have them professionally serviced/ replaced as at 200k they are going to be far from their best!

Actually if you've got a biodiesel garage near you, try doing a 50:50 diesel/bio mix for a few tanks, then change your fuel filter, that will thoroughly clean out your fuel system.

Yep, it has for me. now I get double the mpg, twice as many BHP and as for the engine smoothness.... well it's like night and day.... although with my eye sight that's not saying a lot.

Right, gotta dash.... one of my 6 wives is calling...
