    Grease Junkies in Bracknell have the system for petrol and Diesel.
    had mine done and cost £80 not bad especially as this is the garage owned by Ed China from wheeler Dealers.

    UPDATE!

    Well ladies it's been two months since my car was Terracleaned and i can now announce that my mpg has increased from 21-22mpg to (Ta ta da da ta da daaaaa!!!!!) 24-25mpg! and my fuel tank range has also increased from 310 miles to 355 miles per tank.

    I have had NO running issues at all!

    That's all i'm gonna say on the subject as i know it's a topic of hot debate. As they say, proof is in the pudding!

    That was the reason but coul`ve paid more attention tho.Some guys on vwaudi forum done their diesels and did notice an improvement on mpg didn`t mention any power gains as probably driving like carrying a tonn of eggs.

    Fare point,best thing to do if u replace them monitor the changes or pay half the price and terraclean.

    Good to hear Lee, although I had no doubts as my Dad is still over moon with the results on his R. I'm still planning on having mine done, but just haven't pulled my finger out and got it sorted yet...slack!!

    Had 2nd Terraclean done today. 1 yr later.

    Results were as spectacular as the first. HC ppm were down to 3 on live readings.

    Car idles smoother, pulls harder and faster, throttle is more responsive yet not as agitated, Engine sounds sweeter. More mpg to follow.

    Mine was done at the end of May last year, this will be something I will have to look into getting done soon.

    That's close enough with a nice motorway journey on the way back. Think I will be giving it a go once its 100%.
    I've read good results for petrol & Diesel engines. I had good results off that 10k boost kit you used to be able to buy in 2 cans. It made a noticeable difference but terra clean is far more advanced.

    I had my D5 done a few months back. Not made much difference to MPG (perhaps a small improvement) but the engine idles and runs much smoother and quiter and is definitely more punchy and responsive!!

    My car is ALWAYS run on V-Power Diesel which has a lot of cleaners in it so that may contribute to the lack of MPG gain. Others may get a noticeable gain. I'll certainly be making it an annual treatment though. Keep meaning to get the RS Roadster booked in!
