Given that all my money now goes on the missus & household bills & gearboxes - I found a revelation & gave it a run...
Best thing is it only cost 25 quid plus postage.

I ran through the cycle of running the green stuff through the actuator pressure hole (injecting for 2 mins at 2750 rpm followed by 3 minutes at idle) - which is sorta the ME7 equivalent of the boost vac tree - hence squirting the solution directly into the inlet manifold. I needed an assistant to hold the throttle open - so thanks to Mrs Wobbly for lending me her right foot. Just coz I is ingenious I used my fatmax clamp to hold down the aerosol valve during those 2 minutes...
Results wise I am reasonably impressed - the throttle response does seem somewhat sharper. If I had an endoscope perhaps I could view the piston crown via a spark plug hole? V-Power is supposed to have detergents in it anyway - so it is not possible to tell how badly coked the valves & crowns were.
I have no empircal data to speak off but the testing on the Ecotek site did seem comprehensive. Hopefully we will see once Betsy is back on the dyno.
Has anyone else used this or similar before?
