Far as I know BG44K is a fuel additive, so it will do absolutely nothing for bulid-up on the backs of valves, since we are talking about DIRECT injection engines, in which the fuel never gets near the valves..!

Personally it was worth every penny as it's made my enjoyment of the car get back to how it should be. The engine feels more effortless and revs more freely. The engine sounds subtly different too, it purrs now. I know that sounds ridiculous but it's true. I have a remap so not sure if that accentuated the issues beforehand. Car has 49k miles with a GIAC remap from 39k. I'll post the before and after pics when hopefully Will sends them to me.

49k, bought it at 27k, but evidently the sluggishness got worse. I always use Shell v-max. I tried the Tesco momentum 99 a couple of times but the car didn't seem to like it. Tended to hesitate. I dropped car off at 8:30 and picked up at 17:45 not sure how long it actually took but photos Will showed me were between 11 am and about 3pm I think..

Thanks for the update Matthew.
I'm interested in the symptoms you describe as that sounds like what mine is doing, but only when cold - was yours doing it the whole time or just when warming up?

Its was worse when cold, but still there when warm but not as pronounced. It was only very subtle. TBH the idle didn't bother me, it was the sluggish throttle pickup and unpredictable throttle and reduced power that annoyed me.

Does the 320d e90 163hp engine need this doing? I have 97000 miles on the clock and the car runs fine but mpg could be better, gonna do a full service myself this week

Your buildup didn't look that bad. But still must have been an improvement having it done.
Now you just have to run meth to keep the carbon at bay |

Yeah I have seen worse on other forums but still isn't good. Charge was 280 quid. Not sure an oil catch can would catch everything. A certain amount of oil comes through from the turbos however small.
