Terraclean process on XC90 se D5 185
Discussion
Hi
Just thought I would share some news. Having recentley purchased a 2007 XC90 185 sport I have been very happy so far so didnt think i needed to do anything to it consider size and mpg. Then at the weekend read an article that Quentin Wilson had mentioned he had a treatment done on his Mercedes and relised I had seen this on that discovey show wheeler dheads some time ago. As my car has over 200k miles though I had nothing to loose and more to gain then having googled Terraclean found there site and there face book page they were very helpfull and put me in contact with a dealer in my town (Milton Keynes) www.monster-sport-europe.com. Mailed them and within hours Nick mailed me back saying they had the service for both petrol and diesel so booked the car in.
Turned up and was very impressed by the workshop modern and clean and was met by Nick great bloke and knows his motorsport. He ran me through how what when etc and gave them the keys and sat down in the waiting room. The process took around an hour and when I went out for a fag found the technician whom did the process giving my car a jet wash as good as any Polish boy at no cost!
Nick explained what to potentaily expect from one thing to another and I left thinking is it cracked up as per sales talk? within a mile I realised that the car had much better throttle responce and pulled harder and above 3k much harder. Still not sure about all the claims I then went on a little 10 mile trip around town and then about 10 miles of dual carrageway. Before the car was doing 23-24 around town in mixed driving and 35+ at 70-80. Now the car does 27+ around town mixed driving and 38+ on the dual carriage way. But the biggest difference is how it picks up revs.
The whole job cost £86 + vat and have to say so far worth it. Later this month I will be doing a trip down to devon all M4-M5 and normally get approx 410+ per tank so will see what happens when I do that trip.
Not going to say this will please and have the same results for every one but I will be putting a Sprinter and Vivaro diesel through at some point soon for the same.

I've contacted them myself on the back of the WD episode.
It took them over a week to get back to me with a local dealer, but at least they mentioned straight away that they were 'swamped with requests' so it would take a little while to reply. The price is on par with what you have noted, too.
I'll be doing a strip down and rebuild on one of my engines over winter to replace all of the gaskets etc so will have this done when it's completed.

So how should a review read then?
Just telling like it was. My car has 208k on it couldnt say if it will do anything for new cars but has helped with mine will have a better idea of any mpg gains when i pop down to Devon later this month but have no way of knowing what it does to carbon readings until MOT time next year.
