been meaning to try this stuff out for a while and with a trip to wales tomorrow for a few days the visit the 'fam' thought it would be an ideal time to try it out as is a hundred odd miles to get there and always pop out for a brisk spin around snowdonia

Let us know how it goes. I popped some BG244 into my diesel, but was forced to fill-up with fuel half way through the tank as I broke down due to a dirty in-tank fuel filter

Hi iv used bg44k in my gdi. No problems to report with this product. Car now due for service so will be using again. If you go to
www.powerenhahancer.co.uk You will find all the bg products available. I also use bg406 throttle body cleaner its the dogs wotsits Cheers daz To get best results from Bg44k put it in when only doing local journeys. If you read about it on there website it says that.

Will do!
Only ever heard good reports, have only ever run mine on vpower even though it's only a 1.8 but just ticked over to 75k so thought I'd give it a go. Recently changed oil ( castrol magnatec) and new air filter. Not expecting much but who knows S |

I have used and sweared by STP and Wynns products all my motoring life and i stick to them having been around all the tins! Until on here one day someone said try BG44K to another member so i tried it and i was truly amazed at what it did to my T4 it did transform it. Pickup and response was incredible compared to what it used to be and i noticed a difference after only 50 miles. They say use it every 12,000 but the effects of the cleaning out the crud from the engine is felt long after that first tankful was used. I have since put it in the V70 and that responded exactly the same. My mileages were 120,000 T4 & 158,000 V70 so it did have a job to do and did it remarkably well. I would love to get one of those little camera`s that go in small places and see what it did clean out of the combustion chamber? It will be interesting to compere resuts.

Ive loved magnatec for quite a while but lately has been bugging me that the top end seems a little noiser, was fearing vvt but thankfully not.
I know the n/a isn't the most fluid sounding engine (not sure about the T's) but fingers crossed for the bg44k, might smooth her out a bit. S |

I'm hoping my oil change with Castol GTX will quiet it down along with genuine Volvo spark plugs, not the NGKs it currently has.
