Need an argument settled with my workmate he swears by using two stroke in every tank of his Audi which also has a dpf fitted surely this can't be good for modern engines, I agree it does quieten the engine down he also comments it makes it a hell of a lot smoother to drive. I've tried telling him it will soon fk up his injectors and or dpf but he's adamant it's fine, what's your thoughts

Should be fine as long as it is good quality and low ash.

Used it in a Mondeo TDCi making the engine run smoother, less smoke and quieter.
Mondeos are notorious for injector woes but never caused any problems with mine.

Started using when I first bought the car with 130k on the clock, and still running well at almost 270k when I stopped using it.

Surely not in a modern engine with dpf?!

Sorry Chriz missed the part about DPF.
No experience as never had car with one.

Who me ?

Just had a look in a Skoda manual (albeit from an older PD engine without DPF). Warns about using flow improvers (petrol and diesel) in a diesel engine. I'd imagine similar would apply to more modern engines ,and then there's the cat to think of . Never mind the Lambda sensor which must be pretty confused on the co levels in the exhaust.

there's plenty of people swear by it if you do a quick google



I used it for about 2k miles but it didn't make a massive difference

You simply need to use a low ash one.
