Title: Cataclean
Post by: valliant72 on 05 September 2008, 19:59:09

Hi, Has anyone tried this stuff, is it any good or another rip off additive?

Does work but the Cats on 2.5 and 3.0 rarely fail, so worth investigating any codes that may have been generated to see what else may be going on.

Hi,
I wanted to try some after I had a missfire problem, but couldn't find any stockist.

Where do you get it??

A local (to where I work) motor factors sells it. I think if you phone the number on the cataclean site they will tell you your nearest supplier.

I tried it in mine to try and improve the pre-cats (3.2/2.6 only) but it didn't make very much difference, car still flies through emissions tests at MOT though as the main cats still do a good job  :y

This is still in the 'snake oil' category for me. Anything that can make it through the combustion chamber in one piece is probably not going to be able to remove built up carbon like the shopping channels say it will.

My mind is till open though.

In the meantime, a regular 'Italian tune up' probably does just as good.
