I have tried 4 tank fulls. Did not feel much of a difference.

I had used Liquy Molly additive in my previous vehicle - 2016 Creta CRDi. I did find the engine to be smoother and better pick-up.

Hence wanted to try it again for the BS6 diesel, its its safe to use.

That one was a BS4. Also, your vehicle looks quite new, so there should not be any problems that additives are required for clean-up of deposits in the injectors etc. (I dont know what condition your Creta was in w.r.t injector deposits)

For BS6 vehicles, suggest Xtragreen - which is what a lot of cabbies use. And they know to extract more from lesser, rather than paying for additives too.

I had a bad time using extra green in my sx4 ddis. It made my engine noisy and sluggish after using it for a few tank fulls.
I switched back to HP and it was back to its better self.

My thoughts on Liqui Moly Injector Cleaner after using for Kodiaq 2.0 TSI:



I was the guy who used to believed if you do your services right & feed in the correct fuel, your vehicle doesn't even care whether you are putting in some additives or not, even if you do - it will not matter at all - because you are doing all things the right way. How wrong I was.

How did it started? Got a bad fuel up from a bad bunk. Next morning itself, my Kodiaq started having morning cranking hiccups. At times, they were so bad whole engine bay used to shake - thanks to regular misfires. I was terrified to the core. But now I take it that episode as blessing in disguise.

After doing much brain storming, I zeroed onto this product from Liqui Moly - Injector Cleaner for Gasoline. With much apprehension, I poured in the first can into the tank - didn't felt much during first 20 KMs, but post that, it was an OMG moment for me. Not only the issues were gone, the engine became smooth, acceleration was pumping like anything with very sharp throttle response.

Since then, I poured in 3 successive cans into the fuel tank fulls.

Kodiaq felt light - as if some 500KGs have been offloaded from it - no exaggerations truly.



The compound, it has seems like it's volatile, but it's not, it remains there as it is for days under atmospheric exposure.



The hydrocarbon list is exhaustive with strangely no mention of Poly Ether Amine [PEA] that is major workhorse in other brands. Maybe it's mentioned under different name of which I have no clue. Also, it has bits of Molybdenum compound - not sure it's Molybdenum Disulphide or the other - acting as lubricant.



Read all the forums worldwide, but rarely found any post regarding this product that too for petrol engines. Decided to take the plunge & I did it.

After experiencing all effects & after effects - more how it affects the overall performance of 2.0 TSI engine, I have full stock ready for next whole year. Liqui Moly recommends it to used one can every 2000 KMs for prevention & maintainance. However, if you are having issues, better to pour 3 cans in successive 3 tank fulls.

Do I recommend it to all TSI/TFSI engines? Hell Yeah!
Use it, & thank me later.

Hey. Where did you source the product from? Thanks for your post!

It's available on Amazon & Flipkart both. Just make sure you get genuine product.

Hi MT_Hyderabad,

How is this experiment working? Very curious to know about this experiment after a year

It is good. No significant change but just a feeling that the injectors, tank and fuel lines are getting cleaned on the go.

I don't know about others but in my sx4 ddis when I started using 2t oil within a few hundred kilometres I had a smokey exhaust and then had to overhaul my injectors at bosch authorised service centre. The smoke was continuously coming and on hard acceleration it would emit too much black smoke.
Maybe it works for some but I wouldn't risk it considering the modern day diesel injectors are quite sensitive to any changes in fuel.
In my Hyundai crdi I just use the WURTH or cetane x every two or three tank fulls.

I would never recommend adding 2T to modern diesel engines. You can also try Liqui Moly Super Diesel Additive.

Any Skoda/VW 1.8/2.0 TSI users who have tried octane boosters to convert XP95 into XP100?? I have been using XP95 in my Kodiaq but was wondering if these octane boosters are a cheaper way to get to XP100

I tried Abro Octane boost in my Honda Jazz. Got it from Industrybuying for Rs. 189 (Amazon sells it for around 400). It is worth trying.

System D was back in stock and deliverable to my pin code again. Stocked up. Good for the next 20k miles.

I've been a regular user of it for my indica for almost as long as I've had it. It's amazing if you have an IDI diesel Tata engine.

Every mechanic, especially pump mechanics who have seen the bottle in my car have spoken highly of it.

Sadly it hasn't translated to any increased reliability of pump or injectors. But smoothness is very discernible

I've a '18 Nexon Diesel AMT, do you recommend using it?
Please share the link, as there are many of this kind online.

What is the normal procedure you use.

Regards

I use it because my Indica user manual explicitly recommends using it (and barhadl)
I have heard people trying it on Common rail engines with mixed results - so have no experience to recommend - May be worth checking with other nexon/altroz owners to check
