Terraclean anyone?

[Columbusracing]

I think it will connect differently due to how current Terraclean is going through fuel system not EGR/charge air system ...



I think the two will co exist either as an and/or package depending on what consumer want ...

Hit the nail on the head there Gup

Both are seperate services the egr system is fed directly to the effected areas and the medium is a foamed chemical which is only suitable for compression ignition engines so not petrol engines.

I am not promoting myself as i have said i don't have the equipment to offer this service as of yet but i offered the information as it may be helpful to members on here who are experiencing egr related problems.

I haven't promoted myself at all i have just supplied information as there is a discussion about Terraclean here i thought it might be worthwhile having some info from someone who is familiar with the system. Rather then the usual forum banter which is assumption and improvised knowledge.

I feel that Terraclean don't supply enough technical information for the general public not everyone is clueless about how their car works and i was just trying to bring more technical information to light.

Sorry for any problem the above information has caused you

I haven't even mentioned my company name or the location of the workshop so i am not fishing for free advertising.

You're a TerraClean dealer posting in a thread about TerraClean but you don't feel you're promoting?

By all means add information you feel is useful, but perhaps make it clear you have a vested interested in the topic of discussion.

In a way Sam, Columbus could be putting himself in bad position with Terraclean to share info and that fact should not be overlooked, so I think really great to have a dealer on board ....

Thanks Gup, I agree and had he done so as an enduser then great, I'm all for freedom of information, but he's posting as a dealer and rules are rules.

Granted there's no out and out "Come and see me for a TerraClean" advertising, but it doesn't take a genius to join the dots.

I'm only doing what I've been asked to do by Stuart.

You're a TerraClean dealer posting in a thread about TerraClean but you don't feel you're promoting? I am promoting terraclean by making genuine information available not promoting my business but Terraclean UK. If someone wants a Terraclean i have already said contact Terraclean UK and they will put you in touch with your local dealer. I'm not trying to poach business i would rather the brand is viewed accurately hence my posts

By all means add information you feel is useful, but perhaps make it clear you have a vested interested in the topic of discussion.

A couple of posts ago you asked am i affiliated and i said YES i am not hiding anything or promoting myself as a business.

Thanks Gup, I agree and had he done so as an enduser then great, I'm all for freedom of information, but he's posting as a dealer and rules are rules. Taken on board i will say no more as it breaches forum rules

Granted there's no out and out "Come and see me for a TerraClean" advertising, but it doesn't take a genius to join the dots.
There a hundreds of dealers around the country i am not trying to pull all the business to myself that is selfish and unfair. I would encourage those interested in the systems to go through the proper channels By calling or sending enquiries to Terraclean UK. - NOT ME.

I'm only doing what I've been asked to do by Stuart.Fair enough i respect that

Once again i appologise for breaching forum rules - but i do feel a discussion is worthless if the people behind the item in question are not allowed to express there feelings and evidence and only speculators and critics are allowed to discuss.
Thats end of - i'll keep my head down again lol
cheers ears

Thanks Gup, I agree and had he done so as an enduser then great, I'm all for freedom of information, but he's posting as a dealer and rules are rules.

The info he is providing only a dealer can share IMO, we have lots of posts from endusers and other than stating 'I feel' a difference there is nothing with pics or data I or perhaps sceptics would like ...

... but it doesn't take a genius to join the dots.

I think that is a unfair comment being put to Columbus , his user name is not his company name, his address/email is not stated anywhere, private messages can be monitored by mod team/Stuart and thus if he was receiving or sending request for work you would know ...

I'm only doing what I've been asked to do by Stuart.

I understand there are and need to be rules but I really don't think he is advertising himself or promoting himself but giving info on Terraclean which can be seen as promoting himself but as he has stated people will be directed by Terraclean UK to a dealer close to them not him ...

In Link:- post 194 I stated I knew a dealer close to me, Columbus is not that dealer ...

Has anyone from VWAF team got any tech info from Terraclean UK? do you think one of us sceptics or VWAF Team can/will contact them and try to get like a tour/info?

i do feel a discussion is worthless if the people behind the item in question are not allowed to express there feelings and evidence and only speculators and critics are allowed to discuss.

I agree ...

Thats end of - i'll keep my head down again lol
cheers ears

I for one feel ....

[Sam]

You're right, who am I to stand in the way of rules and progress.

Feel free to discuss whatever you so desire, I'm out, go nuts.

[gupsterg]

who am I to stand in the way of rules and progress.

Come on Sam that's not what I'm saying or implying ...

[JimC64]

Great info ... I posted the VAG info to show that VAG have/used something similar to Terraclean, sorta like to add weight to that perhaps Terraclean does work ...

if the EGR specific Terraclean is out by then I maybe up for it ...

I blinking seem to be doing the hokey cokey on this Terraclean thing ...

Lol...I'm sure you're not alone in this Gup.....I have a feeling that many are going back n forth on this and will continue to do so for some time.

Just for the record, I'm now at 106k miles and don't report the clouds of black smoke when under heavy acceleration like some do, still running pretty sweet tbh
Thats around 11k miles and amost a year to the day later

[gupsterg]

Just for the record, I'm now at 106k miles and don't report the clouds of black smoke when under heavy acceleration like some do

I gotta admit yesterday I was doing some tests on my car by fully pressing throttle to floor and I get heavy black smoke on heavy acceleration and it makes me feel . My EGR system is currently disabled, it still needs the cleaned intake/swirl manifolds and EGR parts fitting. My car has not had Terraclean, it has done 85K is a 3.0 TDi V6, under my ownership in 15K/2yrs miles it's had 2 oil changes and will in days have third plus 2nd fuel filter & air filter ...

New parts since owning for context of smoke/servicing:-

i) full new set of injectors
ii) engine removed and all timing chains, tensioners & guides done plus associated fluids and gas
iii) new throttle unit
iv) new MAF
v) new EGR pressure converter unit
vi) it does not have a DPF from factory, only a CAT

As I have to remove bumper to sort the leaking headlight washer pipes I will be double checking charge air hoses and intercoolers but MVB for charge air pressure air is correct on my car. The MAP sensor is located on the last intercooler before throttle. Item 35 is MAP, item 1 is last intercooler, turbo charge air output is at hose item 27 and last hose is 17 connecting to throttle Link:- http://www.jimellisaudiparts.com/sho...g=charge%20air

[Columbusracing]

hey gup just a thought but does the commercial garage you use have a smoke tester (smoke pro/smoke wizard/vapour check) or intercooler tester they can pressure check your car with to eliminate possible boost leaks etc. I think you've already found the main fault but worth covering all the bases.

[gupsterg]

Yep they have kit like that , will be giving them a shout soon , light to medium acceleration is no issue ...

Perhaps it's normal but never had a diesel with this kinda BHP/CC ...

Will be doing a new thread as soon as can rope the wife into making a movie of me driving car up/down a road as without it my interpretation of level of smoke could be wrong ...

Any way chat soon mate and hopefully meet you soon in the offline world ...
