Cat cleaners.

[davyboy]

Reading the Sunday Mirror last week, or should I say Quentin Wilson's motoring section, he's the best imo.
He mentioned a product for cleaning catalytic converters, sticky valves, and so on - Cataclean.
So, I bought some, £6 odd, put it in tonight and felt the difference immediately !! Bit more power, smoother, more torque, quieter, and so on - OR - am I imagining it ???
Anyone else use this sort of product, I'm pretty convinced on this product after tonight.

It was also said on the product forum, that, some who used it, disconnected their battery after use, and it put the
engine management light out ! gonna see if that works on mine.

Snake oil.

There are some products out there that do make a difference and this is one of em

 

[davyboy]

So I'm not imagining it - good. I'd be happy to recommend that now.

If it was that good and that cheap, they'd be putting it in petrol at the pumps to some extent. More likely to be doing harm, contaminating your oil, perishing seals etc. I'd personally avoid, best way to avoid clogged Cats is to keep engin regularly serviced and in good health.

Its not as good as a rebuild by any means... but it does do something... unlike redex

 

[Enuo]

Redex works. If you take your injectors out, soak them in a bath of the stuff and use a 12v battery to open and close them repeatedly... that or a small ultrasonic tank full of the stuff (recomendation from a Hilsonic service engineer)

Not quite the same as diluted in petrol

 

[Enuo]

Not really no!

They already do, what you get depends on which forecourt you frequent.

 

[davyboy]

Disconnected my battery, as in my first post, management light went out after being on for a year...ish.
I used to pay £10/15 a time to have it done by a garage, so, it works as they say. I'll wait and see if it comes back on .....like it used to. Hope not.

If it's already in the fuel, what's the use in putting more in your car? You can probably tell I'm still cynical, but if someone shows me proof then I'll believe

For the wonderful and mighty Placebo Effect?

 

[davyboy]

Nope, no placebo - there is an improvement - and my management lights gone off. I'm happy.
