as far as I can Tell the Direct Injection Cleaning offered by Terraclean uses the a chemical cleaner that is put into a pressurised container and forced into the inlet manifold whilst running for approx 20 minutes or so.

Well since GDI engines all suffer from this I would guess it won't hurt doing this as part of a scheduled maintenance. I would guess every 15-30k would be sufficient.

[QUOTE=Chris_Blue;160868. Wonder whether its worth using it when there are no symptoms of carbonisation?
IE No knock, judder, rattle etc, just as preventative[/QUOTE]
That is probably the best time to use a chemical cleaner like terraclean. As a preventive to remove any light carbon deposits before before they become so built up that you start seeing symptoms and the carbon needs a mechanical clean to remove it.Originally posted by cyclone

PCV routing was changed a little from the 150 to 155, so maybe they dont get that bad
May give that Terraclean a go on 20k, depending on price

The reps in NI either visit your home or you meet up with them at their premises or elsewhere. I would say it takes about 30 mins for the direct injection clean and approx 1 hour for the full Terraclean from start to finish. Make sure you engine is up to full running temp.
