Hi people i've jus bought a subaru wrx turbo and filling it up with v power, which is the best style of injector cleaner to use when i've filled up the tank, i've been told because its high in carbon.. I need to use this quite regularly?

Any good sites where you can get some good stuff?

Sounds like bks to me but I could be wrong. Used V-Power / Optimax for years with no problems.

Optimax or Tesco 99RON have detergents and additives that take care of all that. Regular use of these fuels ensure you never get a build up of anything.

Cars that use 95RON only generally suffer from carbon deposit build up on valves/pistons/cylinder bores etc..., and that's what harms the engine and buggers up performance and economy. Then you should use an injector cleaner like Redex, maybe every 6months depending on mileage you do. More so for cars that mostly only do runs into town and back. Motorway driving is better for your car hence having a good blat now and again blows out the cobwebs biggrin

Stick to always using the good stuff in a scooby!! thumbup
