Item Package Quantity:2 Forté Diesel Turbo Cleaner is specifically formulated for vehicles fitted with Variable Geometry Turbos. Particles from incomplete combustion adhere to the variable vanes causing them to stick, reducing vehicle power and efficiency, resulting in an engine management fault.

WOW, this worked for me , cheaper than the turbo replacement I was told I needed
I have given myself a couple of weeks to assess . I have a 2005 A3 2.0 tdi prior to using the car struggled to get over 3000 revs and would sometimes go into limp home mode . Once in I warmed the car up and then floored it , straight to the red line . I continued to take the car up the rev band for the rest of the tank mostly to 4500 revs . After 1000 miles the car feels completely different it feels like I have moved up an engine , the car is eager and easier to drive and feels like it's doing about 40 miles more to a tank . I will definitely being using this again . My car has done 145000 and feels like 20000

So I'm gonna start with I was very sceptical about ...
So I'm gonna start with I was very sceptical about this and others after reading and reading and checking as many as I could I went for this product. I was getting a fault code of a overboost on my Audi a3 2.0tdi this making it go into the dredded limp mode I waited until I went into red light on the fuel tank put the hole bottle into the tank drove to the fuel station a little to fast but wanted to get it moving put a full tank in as the bottle suggested now I'm not saying this will fix your turbo if it's broke that's not what it's for it's to clean it and since I used this I haven't had 1 limp mode not 1 and I was getting 1 every time I drove the car will be buying this on the regular to keep things clean

Staggering Results
Bought this after numerous problems with my Mercedes B Class Auto Diesel going into limp mode and being told by the garage that the only option was a new turbo.As per the instructions, I put two bottles into the diesel tank and took the car for a long and aggressive drive up the M25.Amazingly after repeating the process twice more there were noticeable improvements - the limp mode was cured - and the car now revved above the restricted 2,500 revs.There are still slight issues but I have every confidence that this will only improve over the next few runs - £30 instead over the garage quote of over £1000!!!

Bottle DOES NOT fit into the filling hole on my Audi A3 8V!
1st off i used 1 bottle of Wynns Turbo Cleaner for 2 weeks before putting 2 bottles of this stuff in after!I was having my Audi A3 8V TDI glow plug light flashing on start up and a couple of times while driving which puts the car into limp mode, with a stored code of P2563 after doing a scan with my Carista app. Which is to do with the Turbo.After reading loads of comments on the net about the same problem i thought i would give a turbo cleaning product ago to see if it was sticking veins and/or a sticking turbo actuator!. So i ordered this stuff after reading the good reviews.BUT in the mean time, while waiting for the delivery of this i popped to my local Halfords to get a bottle of Wynns turbo cleaner because i couldn't wait and i wanted my problem sorted out right away!. I put it in on top of the diesel i already had in the car(three quarters of a tank). WOW driving home it changed the car straight away. Power, start up, NO glow plug light flashing, NO codes. After 2 weeks it is still the same, so fingers crossed i have solved my problem which must of been a dirty clogged up turbo!Anyway on to this Forte turbo cleaning stuff, which i have put 2 bottles in then a complete tank full of V-Power diesel on top.*WORD OF WARNING* - if like my car, yours has a safety nozzle hinge so it stops you putting petrol in by mistake for example. The size of the bottle on this stuff is to big to go in the hole, to push on the hinge sides to then push open the flap. Also NO funnel will make the flap open!, i tried 5 different ones that i used in the past.SOLVED SOLUTION FOR THE FLAP - What i had to do in the end was to shave down a flat piece of wood, to the same size of the hole. When pushed in the hole the flap pushes on down so i then used a small screw driver(or piece of metal) to keep it pushed down, take out the piece of wood, then insert the funnel then take out the screw driver. Now i have the funnel in there i could then pore in the 2 bottles!(i expect people at the petrol station wondered what i was up to lol)Yes i have already done a clean with the Wynns turbo cleaner, i wanted to use this stuff as well to give it a extra/carrying on clean.I will edit this after i have used up the full tank of diesel with any good/bad changes4 starts because of the stupid, not thought about bottle size! p.s Oh and just to say that the Wynns bottle was a PERFECT size that it just pushed straight in!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure if this actually made any difference.
Unsure if this did anything... I'm getting slightly better mpg (59mpg for a 2007 S-max with 207k on the clock).... It doesn't however seemed to have done anything with my egr valve error codes.... I use good quality fuel, so maybe I am asking a bit too much of it, and I need to bite the bullet and remove my EGR valve, clean properly.... its just a bit of an awkward / long job, so I was hoping this would do the trick...

Fantastic stuff, however.
So after using the two bottles recommended. It did unstick the vanes within the turbo temporarily and now after two weeks I can feel the power reduced again. Unfortunately the reality is the turbo on any car, van or truck will have to be taken off to be cleaned properly or replaced. Because this stuff removes the surface carbon, not all of it. Same for the EGR valve, needs taking off and thoroughly cleaned which is not a big job if you are keeping your car, like me with my volvo v70 something I will always keep because of the reliability in the early D5 engine the 163bhp not the 185. Any diesel will need cleaning eventually. So there's a hack on YouTube about using Mr Muscle oven cleaner and it works on turbos removing all carbon with great success. Of course the professionals will say all sorts, because this is £2.50 a can in homebargain compared to £12.50 per bottle or more. Now two things needed, 1. Common sense, 2. A old class turbo, in most cars. But you will have to check. Go on YouTube and type in Mr Muscle oven cleaner turbo cleaning and decide for yourself. There's a guy with a modern VW transporter who has great success, and he explains how to do it.

Great stuff.
Bought this for my VW T5 174bhp. Kept going into turbo limp mode even after using the Gucci premium diesel for the last three years, (How much has that cost me??) Due to the size of my fuel tank, I bought two bottles. Within a hundred miles I could start to feel more power. I've now refilled for the first time since adding this, with supermarket diesel, runs brilliantly and not a single variable vane limp mode episode. Will probably buy this every six months to keep the turbo clear.
