Therefore, replacing the wiring loom as a preventative would be pointless?
I have used Millers for well over 2 yrs. And I can only report on my findings. Car is smoother and mpg is improved. And I've never had an injector fail.Quote:

It wont give massive bhp or mpg improvements but enough to justify putting it in.
Around £10-£12 a bottle and treats 10x 50 litre tanks or in my case a lot less as I always use a double dose every other fill up :approve::approve::approve::approve:
Im thinking of adding additives aswell..read on Autocar that the Commas one was the best but also read on this forum and another that Millers works a treat..
One thing that confuses me as ive never added additives is how do you do it?
Do you add it before you fill up or after? and do you add it straight away or can you drive home and do it then?
Also how do you measure how much to put? I only fill £40 worth of Shell diesel each time as it usually lasts me a long time so dont bother with a full tank..but I always fill up as soon as the car goes 'ding time to fill up son'
Thanks in advance for any advice
Welcome crackman :D:D:D
On the millers theres is marks on the side of the nozzle. You simple squart up the amount you want and hey presto pour in and job done.
I always fill up with the millers at home just before i need to fill up. Reason being the millers stinks out your boot.
One bottle treats 10 50 litre tanks.
I rather stupidly lodged my bottle in the passenger door pocket - kept smelling the blighter as I was driving.Quote:

Thanks for the support rapport :)
I must admit to being seriously gutted when it failed on Monday evening, and a failure so soon after buying it brought all those feelings of dread as I wondered if I had bought a pig in a poke. The thing is, in every other way, it is such a lovely car, so I am trying to look at it the other way now - its had an injector go, and before long there will be a new one nestling in there, so its hopefully one less to worry about.
Points to the dealer that I bought it from - we've managed to reach a swift compromise to getting it sorted, so my pocket isn't going to be hammered to badly.
Pleased to hear it :D:D:D keep your chin up. I have said this many times before. The passat is the best car I have owned so far :Blush2::Blush2::Blush2:.Quote:

Heres to all ther BKP drivers :beerchug: :biglaugh::biglaugh:. The passat is a dam good car (runs and takes cover) :biglaugh::biglaugh:
loll yes the passat is a very good car when everything is running smoothly..but when you hear of other peoples faults you do get abit wary..
I mean on mine i think the turbo vanes are sticking and i also think i need to fix me cv joint as theres this silly grinding noise when going over humps but apart from that its lovely..
One last question regarding Millers..I fill up about £40 worth so thats roughly hmm 34-36 litres of diesel..how much additive should i put then? and is it best to add before you feul up or straight after?
