Fuel additives...?!!! spend your hard earned on a decent set of tyres, or better still get the ECU and Motronics engine sensors working optimally.

It was .... do you really need an answer to that.

Speaks for itself I hope !

The only one i have used that worked... was STP inlet valve cleaner on my old 323i. The car just was not running as sweet as she used to, a Mercedes mechanic recommended the stuff, so i tipped some in the tank, and after 100 miles the car was running so much smoother! used to repeat the process every 12 - 15K it really made a difference! It's damn hard to buy these days, comes in a bright yellow bottle.

Never tried anything else.

Redex is good for old injection engines, can help do a little internal cleaning for you which is always good, more a keep it as it is rather than making it better type thing though

if that makes sense!

I'd agree with idreambeemer, Every so often i chuck a bottle of redex in with a full tank. Seems to be a bit smoother after half the tank or so........or maybe thats just me!

in my experience depends on the condition of your engine if its really battered then treatment does help a little otherwise no signifficant diffrence

The only thing i have every used is 10Kboost......although not a "put in your petrol thingy", it helped to smooth out a rough idle......
