Redex injector cleaner

Postby trevor3839 » Mon Jan 11, 2010 6:26 pm

I was browsing in Halfords & looking at the fuel additives that claim to clean fuel injectors.
Is it worth adding even when the van is running fine or is it best left & used as a possible problem solver?
Could it prolong the life of the injectors?

Cheers..

Hi, dont think redex really works on any vehicle the only 1 I know of which is meant to be the dog's b**locks is FORTE injector cleaner but is only available to the trade, you might find some on ebay, worth dropping some in once a year or so
