What’s everyone’s thoughts on all the various magical elixirs for decarbonising modern diesels (specifically CRD)?
I need to get a new vehicle since the brand new company 4X4 got yanked out from under me. So, I’m considering if decarbonising is worthwhile for any used vehicle I may get.
Do you have a preferred method/mixture?

I’ve alway wondered if it would be better to dump the contents in the tank so it has a longer soak time than a short in/out the engine.

Fair enough, but the sellers don’t take responsibility either

Pull the intake off and clean it manually.

I looked into that and it would be quite an involved task so I went for option 2: LiquiMoly treatment used as directed.kickinback wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 5:49 am Pull the intake off and clean it manually.

It did the job well but using my little endoscope camera I can still see some carbon build-up way back in the manifold. Suffice to say the vehicle feels a bit smoother/powerful...but that could be the placebo effect.
