The cleaner needs to be in for something like 6000 miles for fully synthetic oil.

The flush needs to be in for a few mins (forgotten what was written on the bottle)

I've just bought the 6400d/6200 combo along with a 10ml syringe and tubing from eBay so I can measure out the correct dosage.

Looking forward to testing when I get back from holiday. I may even get into the 40's when combined with my recent service and intake clean.

Dare i say, i used the products mentioned once and added the fuel enhancer a couple of times, since then car has been driving noticeably better and ive not used the products for at least the last 4 tank fulls

Sticking to shell v power and will use when i feel the car feels different again

Seems to have done the job in one hit with my car

Anyone noticed more soot on their exhaust tips as a result of using these products? I have been using the cleaner and cetane booster and the soot build up is quite noticeable? Never had this prior to using Archoil?

Interesting... I can't say that I've noticed that but maybe it's a by product of the exhaust system being cleaned?

Are you buying your fuel from the same garage each time? Do you have a dpf fitted? Any fault codes appearing?

BTW check out Pearlers thread, there's a pretty systematic review of the archoil products they've done which goes against the results most of us seem to have got. Worth reading

Yes, fuel from the same station and no error codes. DPF still intact. I have just Completed a 475 mile round trip and averaged 47 mpg. Can't complain from a mapped 335D!

That's pretty good! Highest I've got from my mapped 330 is 49 so far bt on a long run 47 is the norm.

What's the soundtrack like of the 335?

Pretty quiet to be honest, which can get you in trouble, as the speed just arrives very quickly! Thank god we can speed limit chimes.
