XC90: - terraclean

Just had my xc90 D5 terracleaned. The result has given me back a nearly new engine. Much smoother, quieter and less vibration. Ok it cost £99.00 but first results are impressive . The engine has done 102000 miles and now purrs like new.

Been looking at this myself and I'm tempted.

How long did it take?

If you have a diesel, also consider a 1 litre dose of Diesel Purge via a closed feed which produces astounding results.
Total cost including making the rig is £20 and takes about an hour DIY.

The rig is reusable so it's just £8 subsequently.

Mines a petrol but the wife drives a diseisel. Although it's only a couple of years old I'll look that stuff up.

You'll wish you could run your car on it permanently, it's so smooth.
YouTube has good vids showing how to do the closed feed.

Thanks for that chuckeng - I've been on the verge of getting it done for a while now. Good to hear it really does seem to work! Have you noticed any difference in mpg yet?
