I remember that episode. I assumed they pumped round some fluid similar to the fuel additives you can buy.
Made a big impact on emissions if I remember rightly

As in the stuff mentioned in post 4? :doh:
Don't think it's terraclean.
Fuel system is hooked up to a fairly chunky machine and two seperate cannisters on the machine feed fluid around the system for about an hour.
Thought the xk8 episode was new.
Ha ha, oh dear you are right. Not my fault, they didn't mention a name.
Behind the times as usual.

Depending on where you are in the country I have a friend who owns a garage who does Terraclean flushes, near Oxford. Dropped in yesterday and they were just flushing out an Alfa Romeo.

I use to use one years ago, it was just a high pressure pump and tank which we connected to the fuel system, pulled the fuse for the vehicle pump and then ran the engine on cleaning fluid. Worked good too.

Yes, I had a UR Quattro at the time with K jetronic, I took the metering head of with all the pipes and injectors and connected it to the machine, opened the flap and watched until all the injectors were spraying as they should.
Being a mechanic was so much eaiser back then.

Browns in Thame?
2012 episode, it said it was a new series 
So in 3 years I would expect the technology to be even better.
The hydro carbons went from 500 odd to 5, that's some difference.
Seems a better option than sticking bottles of millers in yer tank.
If I had the spondooleys I'd have it done

120 notes or thereabouts I believe. Find me an experienced mechanic that hasnt forked out thousands for the franchise that swears by it and I might be convinced :suspicious:

I just wasted 5 minutes of my life watching the terraclean sales guy on you tube talk completely out of his arse.
