My question is, has anyone tried it in their mk5 GTI? Didn't want to try it if it could cause any problems. I do about 10-15 miles a day in heavy traffic and thought this might make the same difference to what it did on my mk4
Any advice appreciated :smiley:

Bought BG44K and tried that, car ran smoother and all cold start stumbling cured. Permanently :happy2:
Read so many good un-biased reviews on BG44K before trying it myself. Definetly the best of all these injector cleaners

Tried it, made no difference. . .

Might give that a go in mine. What's the procedure?

Anyone have any feedback on this product :happy2:

Stick it in to an empty(ish) petrol tank (using a funnel) and fill up with petrol, drive gently for the majority of the tank then give it a bit of a thrash towards the end of the tank.
I used it with Tesco Momentum rather than V-Power so as not to have too many cleaning chemicals acting at one time :signLOL:

I used some stuff by forte and it worked quite well. Since then I have done over 30k and want to give it a little refresh.

Internet reviews seem to back this up (obviously there's the occasional "snake oil" review).
Out of all the fuel system / injector cleaning cleaners on the market, I rate this the highest.

Is there a variant of that for diesels?

BG244 IIRC :happy2:
Get the full size tin, rather than the cheap "shot"

Did you use V-Power? Or just any 99RON petrol? Thanks
I'm going to give it a go when I get back from Holiday.

Just tesco Momentum 99. Gonna be doing a long motorway journey on saturday so didnt see the point in opting for the more expensive Vpower (which i use 90% of the time)
Thanks. Will do the same :happy2:

This BGK stuff sounds interesting though. Might give it a whirl. However, nothing smooths out a TFSI quite like new injectors and a decarbon though!

Read somewhere that an oil change was recommended after using this stuff, anyone heard the same?
Post by: Chris92 on May 06, 2015, 08:53:02 pm
Are you guys doing an oil change after?

Your thinking of a oil treatment additive, not this fuel one so don't worry
Post by: rich83 on May 06, 2015, 09:01:59 pm
Do you guys just whack the whole 325ml in a tank say a quater full? Just ordered some to :happy2:
My tank was about 1/3 full. Stuck the whole can in (spilt some down the side of my car for good measure) and filled up with petrol. :signLOL:

Hopefully the can I've ordered will arrive today. I've only did an oil change will millers nanodrive last week so all should be good.
You should probably hold off a while then.... From what i can gather you should change the oil shortly after use
Seems a waste of good oil if you've only just changed?

Its not an oil additive, its a fuel additive

No sir. No need as BG 44K goes through the gas tank. Just enjoy miles of fuel system cleaning!

Thought it a bit strange, hench the question
Post by: GrayMK5GTI on May 07, 2015, 08:58:29 pm
Only a real problem if you stick additives in regularly. . . .

I used it and didn't notice any difference

Plan to put a bottle in every year or so depending on mileage.
Mine has just hit 99k :-)
