alessandro Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Today I was given a bottle of Redex for petrol injectors, I have heard of it before ( on here ) and I know what it suppesed to do but never used it in any of my cars. So, is this safe and reccomended (or not) to use on the Zed and there is any precourtions that I need to know? As stupid as it sounds, do I have to pur the Redex straight after filling up or can I drive home ( 2miles max ) and do it there? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 5th gear did a test on all of these liquids, and all of them had a negative affect on the engine performance reducing bhp by upto 4% . ! FYI..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alessandro Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Do you know if it was a long term loss? Providing that it does what it says on the tin I was thinking to use it every 5k miles to clean the enjectors and other residue left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zugara Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Do you know if it was a long term loss? Only for the duration of the very "controlled" testing they did, it was put accross as " a complete waste of money"......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
