Title: Fuel Cleaners Stp/ Redex Info

(VW/Newbie)

Hi does anyone know if these fuel cleaners (Stp/Redex) are worth doing, or are they a waste of money?

If you have a bad or rough running car then yes they may help with clogged up injectors, but if you run vpower all of the time then it has similar cleaning agents in that.

BG 44K is probably regarded as the best you can use.

I've used it a few times now and can't say i've noticed a difference, but then i didn't expect to either.

It will help keep the fuel system clean, but as you may or may not know, it won't do anything for your intake valves  :happy2:

Another thing to note is that people seem to forget is just because you can't feel any difference doesn't mean it hasn't worked.
