    i used redex injector treatment once just to clean out the injectors. you have to have a full tank of petrol before adding whatever the specified amount is.

    cleaner tends to go in the petrol treatment tends to go in the oil i think thats right redex etc helps clean through fuel system and injectors recommend a fuel filter change after as it may get a little clogged from the crap removed and the treatment can depending on the stuff you use either go in before or after a oil change or both i guess

    Wynns Injector Cleaner is the dogs danglies!!! it also has an octane booster in it, And is recomended you put one in with a full tank of fuel every 5000miles, Which could be every service for alot of people on here.

    Just bought some STP additives tonight eventually put my finger in my pocket and pulled out the debit card. was value pack got Fuel injector and power booster for £8.99 only does one tank full each though. Redex best for money i suppose. But now sussed STP is for "High Performance" cars but should still work? right?

    I was confused by the redex was cleaner then treatment so thought sod it get this its simpler.... its £4.99 for the power booster sperate and £4.99 for the fuel injector so i saved a total of £1.02.

    Will post my results, see if the lack of power goes away! doubt it though but cant do any harm!
