Terraclean: Initial Thoughts...

[Rob is200 SportCross]

Firstly, if you contact Terraclean at http://www.terraclean.co.uk/ and use the branch locator via a text message, they choose your nearest location in a straight line. So my nearest was Weston-Super-Mare which, from Cardiff, is a short direct distance but obviously not accurate. My nearest centre is 20 miles west of Cardiff. Best to ring Terraclean direct and I found this much better.

So my car went in on Sunday and they lifted out the back seat to expose the fuel tank, here they disconnected my engine fuel supply and attached the hose to the Terraclean machine.

Here is the machine, the two cans are the primary and secondary cleaners.

The process took about 1 hour from arrival to leaving, machine was running for 20 mins or so.

I drove away and noticed the difference immediately. My car is much smoother in every gear and with more mid range power. It starts more quickly and ticks over more quietly. It's a really pleasant difference, I used to have a problem pulling away smoothly from standstill and now that has disappeared.

I will assess the fuel mpg over the next month or so and update findings.

For the benefit of Stuart Aspey and other local members, here is where I got this done - http://www.motpyle.co.uk/contact/default.asp?session_ID=0&pid=1920

I paid £90 and it feels like money well spent!

Nice write-up and pictures. Thanks for sharing.

I think I'm going to have to look into getting this done too.

Hate to ask this, but is terraclean flushing out the fuel tank? Or the engine?

[Rob is200 SportCross]

It flushes the engine.

Did they disconnected your Battery at any point? If they did then some of the difference in feel could be down to the ECU reset.

How many miles has your IS done Rob?

[Rob is200 SportCross]

No my Battery was not disconnected. 72050 miles on the clock.
