Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

awesome injector/engine product

Post by strada-caster »

So, I had the 'sticky injector syndrom' at 5 degC and below most of this past winter.
-a little white smoke (30secs, not much)
-misfire at start-up idle until warm
-loss of power in first gear if I dont let the engine warm up enough

ended up buying this injector cleaner/carbon build-up killer product (http://www.powerenhancer.co.uk/news/bg- ... diesel/33/), its not the product site but it gives you the gist of things.
I had tried power service grey bottle with no change other than maybe a little more get-up-and-go(cetane boost)

I got BG244 from http://www.marigoldservice.ca/, the only place I know of that sells it considering it's a product from the UK. The shop operates on RHD and other import vehicles and swears by the stuff. When I did some research on it, turns out some dealerships in the UK actually use it at standard maintenance intervals. how's that for a reference, eh.

anyways, my diesel is back and happy.
-no white smoke on start up(didn't really bother me to begin with, it is a diesel, they like to smoke)
-no misfire anymore(last 2 days have been good for testing since we've had to scrap our windows)
-fuel consumption??I'll let you know if I see any major changes.

For 30 bucks a can and only recommend using it every ~10000kms, its a hell of a lot cheaper than new injectors.

well if you look around the site for the general attitude towards marigold's service *cough* shotty *cough* it's not much of an endorsement. :shock:

not to so the stuff isn't great, just I wouldn't take advice from them as EVERYTHING they touched when they complied my van had to get redone when I next took my van to Coombs. Wiring headlights by stripping, twisting and electrical taping the wires is bush league imo.
