The Archoil product doesn’t really seem to promote itself as a turbo cleaner but more as an upgrade additive for regular fuel. I would use Ultimate reasonably regularly - not all the time - but addi ... |

Maybe that’s why Wynn's say an engine flush and oil and filter change is necessary, although apparently only when used on diesel engines. The full instructions can be found here - https://wynns2021. ... |

I should have added that after experiencing a turbo overboost issue - fault code P0234 - after clearing the code I added a bottle of Wynn's Turbo Cleaner to 50 litres of fuel in the tank and I’d hav ... |

I had a very similar experience a couple of weeks ago when towing my car trailer. The only fault code was P0234 - turbo overboost. Greenflag got us home, I cleared the code, chucked some Wynn's Turbo ... |
