    Yes, it looked very interesting. First time I've seen anything like that. I wonder if it works for diesel?

    I think this is the crowd, not much info on their site:

    If is suits the Diesels..Does it run through the Turbo as well???

    Would it clean off all that soot build up that so often causes the dreaded Limp Mode problems?

    Really worth the money if it does.

    I'm a little bit wary of a product that a) features on a show in full-on product placement mode and b) has said show presenter on every single page of their website.
    Just saying.

    Got my '00 Yaris petrol done this morning. Seeing as the car has near 132K miles on the clock I thought I'd give it a go and I have to say I'm glad I did.

    Straight away I noticed the difference after it was done, before this I had an erratic idle issue, that's gone and idle is now stable. The engine itself is now quieter, acceleration is more responsive, car has more power (this is especially noticeable in 5th gear). I'll keep an eye on it now over the next few days to see what difference this has made to my MPG and will keep you posted on that.
    So far though I'm very happy with the results and for the price you can't go wrong. To anyone thinking about getting it done I say go for it, you won't be disappointed :)

    Where did you get it done over here?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,844 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    What exactly does this do? I've had someone highly recommend "diptane" to me recently, saying that it's used by Coca Cola fleets, the army etc for years and years. My mechanic said it's good to give a clean out of an old diesel tank as it kills the bacteria but said it's nothing too special with regards fuel saving etc.

    Is this thing similar or something completely different?

    i am prety sure such thing deserves its own thread. I would love to do that to mazda and scooby too.


    hellboy, what sort of money did they charge? do they do this all over ireland?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    hellboy, what sort of money did they charge?
    It depends on the car, for my Yaris it was €110 + VAT, money well spent I say given the results I've seen.
    do they do this all over ireland?
    Think so.

    I expected more out of the Skyline too, I was really looking forward to seeing what they would do with the engine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,793 ✭✭✭coolisin


    At hell boy how long did it take for the yaris?

    Sounds interesting remember thinking when I saw this episode that that stuff looked like a good idea, I still wonder naturally!!!

    Just under an hour for my car to get done.

    To be honest with you these types of things I would be wary about, "Magic cures" if you will that seem too good to be true and they usually are, my brother is a mechanic and even he was skeptical about it but this does exactly what is says it does.
    I done a lot of reading up on it and read through various other forums to get other peoples views on it that got it done and everything I was reading was positive about it and they were all recommending it. Plus you had it on Wheeler Dealer and Quentin Willson has recently wrote about it too and they're both impressed with it, so I thought "they all can't be wrong" and I'd give it a go.

    For me it worked, and I was amazed at the vast improvement it made to my car. I really only got it done to clean the system out as the car has near 132K miles on it and I've decided to hold onto the car now for as long as possible.

    In my opinion the price to get my car done was worth every penny given the results, plus when you take into consideration how much it is just to get injectors cleaned at a garage, which is a lot more than this and with this Terraclean service they come to you, my car was done under an hour and everything is cleaned at the one time without having to take things apart.

    me too...they put on a new wing and a bigger intercooler but no dyno tst to show how much it had improved and why didn't they leave their expert judge have a go at the end to show what an expert could do with it?

    They also left out the cost of the tracking etc in their list, so I'd say they made a loss

    I would say if you were to account for the labour time on the projects, then most times they would show a loss.

    I enjoy wheeler dealers but that skyline episode was desperate!! They should have refurbed the advan alloys and left the original spoiler alone.

    Got the Terraclean done on the Mazda on Friday last. Very impressed so far, took it to Kilkenny (from Limerick) for wedding straight after, thought there was a smoother throttle response from the engine. Am off the belfast tomorrow so will keep an eye on fuel consumption and report back. So far very happy though. Eugene was spot on to deal with too.

    I also got the Terraclean done last Friday but in Cork, Eugene was a busy man! I was also happy with the service on the day

    I've been tracking my fuel consumption using the "road trip" app since June 2011, traveling just over 28,000 km so it will be interesting to see if I see any change next Friday when I fill up first time since the treatment.

    I also took a interior decibel reading (iphone app again) at idle a few hours before the treatment, I'm going to hold off until Friday to see if there is any reduction in cabin noise

    I'll report back Friday..........
