Not the cheapest of additives, but they actually do work


Interesting - which products have you been using out of interest ?


EPR, DOC and 245 (fuel system cleaner)

Also started using the autobox flush and additive too Thumbs Up

i would love to know if any of this stuff actually makes any difference long term, there is also so much choice of what additive to use, some are surely just crap. I guess what i really want is to see a real world friction test with my own eyes. A video can be edited to look like anything.

3 1/2 years now Thumbs Up

Our courtesy car has covered 160k miles now, and people still comment on how smooth it is

Ye olde Fabia has now been sold, but still going strong

Audi A4 replaced it, and uses BG every oil change. 40k miles without issue

I've also seen the rep's own transit (with wet belt) do 175k miles and still look OK when replaced. Still on its original injectors too, which is impressive, gven they eat themselves (injectors + wet belts) and sub 50k miles
