Redex

[Mk1VTR]

my mate said to me the other night about this stuff.
he used a FULL bottle with a full tank of petrol as aposed to the recommended 1/2 a bottle per full tank.
he said it made his VTR fell sharper and run run better.
i think it might be something to do with it cleaning all the pipes and inturn giving the car more petrol quicker .
does anyone use it or know anything about it???

[Giggz]

Some people think they get gains from it and others dont, I tested it on a friend when we went to cost put some in without him knowing on the way there, and then showed him i'd put some in a week later, asked him if his car felt different and because he knew i'd put some in he said yes.

[Mardgee]

i put it in due to the fact i got two bottles for £2 i didnt notice any difference but it cant hurt to try it can it.

[Mk1VTR]

very scientific experiment lol
so conclusion was that did make a difference??

[Giggz]

Did nothing for him when he didnt know he had any in so i'll say no. Although sure you can get it for 99p on a tester from halfrauds.

When it says use 1/2 a bottle or a cap full or whatever thats what your meant to do!! If you but too much in it burns the injector valves iirc and do some pretty bad damage. I was told to go for something that you just stick the whole bottle in as you can't really go wrong!

i use Forte as we use it at work on every service, the orange is for the petrol

i have used a full bottle to a full tank and yes it does do the job just keeps fuel efficency up and cleans all injectors and pipes etc

with a clapped out engine thats been neglected it is a possibility, but newer engines i doubt theres any benefit. they even did it in test conditions on 5th gear once and the engine actually lost power. i used to believe in the hype but now i would much rather give it a good thrashing through the gears to do-coke it.

so higher mileage cars can benefit?

[scottyvtr]

we use Wynn's 0-60 im not sure who makes it but it did increase the milage per tank ansd they do diesels!!!! will try and get a pic of the stuff!!!!

edit: couldnt find a bigger pic sorry lol!!!

redex + service = 45+ mpg in vts.

i rate it.

[Steve_90]

sounds worth it if it impoves mpg and makes the car run more efficient.

used wynns before.. didnt really notice a huge diference, well i couldnt tell you tbh as i put it in whilst servicing the car, so dont know weather it had any affect, obv the service made things run better

[badasssaxo]

ive used it a couple of times in various cars and yes you see a difference in a high mileage car but not really in one with fewer miles

[Mattt-VTR]

Might have to give it a try, no harm can come of it!

[bluenotesmiley]

I was going to get some Redex for my car but my mate, not overly cued up on cars, was told by somebody not to use it if you have a Cat as it will damage it. Not bothered looking into it but I did doubt this was true and seeing this thread has reinforced my conclusion.

our freelander usually gets about 420ish a tank and after i used it it went up to bout 480ish!!!!!

Good for cleaning the injectors, so obviously on a 10 year old car or whatever, they're gonna be a bit gunked up, so running some through every now and then will clear them out, so you might notice if it's not been done before. :)

[vtcarl]

ive used cataclean a couple of times. dont know if it does anything though.

[Ste-88]

I've never noticed a difference, only difference I notice is that if I fill up at BP I get ALOT more miles as apposed to shell / supermarket garages.

[A7X_KK]

I have noticed that you get more MPG,and slightly beter perfomance :y:
