Terraclean as seen on Wheeler Dealers

[Speculatore]

My car has done under 18,000 miles so would there be any point having it done? (It is a 2007 after all).

I'm very tempted to have it done to my TVR Chimaera, but as most know, if a TVR ain't broke then don't touch it! Mine's a '97 with 21000 miles. Decisions, decisions.

Hia,

I posted my results as I did not think of looking here first!
I know Marcos, TVR and Morgan V8 owners local to me who always have a problem with MOT emissions test, and Terraclean has helped solve this problem for me, and might help someone else here. It is a new process, and I was sceptical, but failing an emissions test before the process, then passing afterwards sums it up for me.

It your car has a problem with the engine it will not solve it, but if everything is in good order then it will help clean the engine.

My Car is 15 years old and has only covered 35,0000 so I thought it deserved this treatment.

I was surprised to find a link to my results/comments on the Terraclean website!

Sounds really interesting, might give it a go if I can find anyone near Brizzle.

ETA- Found it http://terraclean-bristol.co.uk/booking.php but £150 is somewhat steep.

Assuming you each went ahead with your plans and had your cars terracleaned, have you got any feedback on how things went? Was it worth it?

Cheers

Due to bad organisation on my part, it never went ahead, however, myself have had 3 cars Terracleaned with fantastic results along with Suprasi who has has at least 3 cars done also. Would highly recommend.

Dave, Can you give a quick summary on what differences you noticed? Would it be suitable for a low mileage high performance car? (I note Simon has had some cars done). I am thinking of my 07 DB9 with 24,000 on the clock.

Hi David, the very first point I noted retuning home was how fluid and responsive the throttle was, without a doubt more power output, increased fuel economy, not ever trying to get extra mpg, as that spoils the whole concept of having a perfformance car, the overall average has increased by 3 mpg, but the overall proof of how good the Terracleane system is is the emissions on MoT, my local garage just can't believe how low they are, refered to as a brand new engine, not bad for 68k.
I'm looking at having it done every other year now, and I understand that in The States, it's done annually on service. A friend of ours who runs a garage in Rake, does Terracleane on any vehicle that fails emissions , and 90% of the time solves the problem. You still get disbelievers but I am 100% convinced.

I've had three of my cars done and all ran / run better as a result.

I had my 2004 Saab93 1.9tid recently at Jubilee garage Shotton Deeside for a Terra Clean. Prior to the clean i was getting 42mpg , after the clean im getting 34.5 to 36mpg i have no idea why and no reply from the garage, is this supposed to happen?
