Thanks all

Had my S8 Terracleaned weekend before last. Took about 30-40minutes and it was quite spectacular watching 15 years of crap get kicked out the back through the exhaust.

Unfortunately when I left the garage I was driving it straight to another garage to leave it with them to have the exhaust tinkered with and also fresh discs and pads fitted while I've been in Amsterdam and Rotterdam for a week, so I'm itching to pick it up this afternoon!

Will report back if I notice any MPG gain etc. in the next few days.

I've had it done on smaller cars in the past as well. Fiesta ST and Fiesta Zetec, and both responded positively to the Terraclean so I would recommend it for £120

There seems to be a lot of controversy all over the internet about this. Some people swear by it, others say it's snake oil, etc...

I've yet to find any sort of definitive, independent review of it, or the long term effects anywhere, despite it having been around for a good few years now.

It's certainly interesting, knowing the coking problems that the VAG FSI engines seem to suffer from. I'd have it done if I could find some good stuff about it.

I can't vouch for what it's like on an Audi but I had it done on my 1994 Cavalier Turbo and the results were really impressive.

I was sceptical going in, so we arranged an emissions test before and after at a local garage. The before test was embarrassing - the car smoked out the garage and would have failed an MOT miserably. 20-ish minutes later and we went back to the garage and the MOT tester couldn't believe his eyes! He emerged from the car holding the two results sheets beside each other saying "what the *&%$ did you do to it?!?!".

The drive before and after was night and day.

I can't recommend it enough and it'll probably be one of the first trips I make once I buy my Audi. I also had it done on my 3.0 petrol Volvo and although the difference was noticeable, it wasn't as shocking as the Cavalier.

In case anyone's interested, the company I used in Milton Keynes has an offer on right now of £10 off per car. I want to stress that I'm not affiliated with either the company or Terraclean - just a happy customer.

I've done it on two cars, missus 1.4 petrol Golf, with visible improvement and on my 8 where difference wasn't that noticeable, but that could be due to the fact that I'm maintaining it on regular basis and often use Wurth's injector cleaner, fuel system cleaner etc.
But for sure it didn't harm the engine in any way.
