Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Use redex' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use redex' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Don't know anything about Terraclean other than I've seen on the web, but BG44K seems to draw plaudits from 996 and other type 911 Porsche owners on other forums - only £20 notes as well - I'm thinking of giving it a go - unless of course anyone thinks its a really bad idea?.

Interestingly although Porsche says never use fuel additives, apparently they do now actually sell one Keropur - at least in the USA it seems

Otherwise, I'll let you know how I get on.

...indeed, I was initially looking at Redex, which apparently should be fine to clear the injectors, but the BG44K is advised to be a bit better at clearing carbon deposits from inside the cylinders as well - who knows? [
].
For £20 I'm on board with the experiment!
Applied the BG44K about a week ago - noticed cleaner start, smoother idling, and i'd say perhaps a 1.5 mpg increase round town - difficult to say if performance has increased, but I just recently had new exhaust and hi flow cats.
I think overall I'm left with the impression of a positive difference, but nothing earth shattering.
I had the Terraclean treatment done locally on my 993 cab a few months back. The car had only 50K miles on the clock and had hardly moved in 3 years. It seemed to run well but I didn't know whether the power was what i should expect, as I'd previously had a 968CS. Anyway, it was immediately apparent that it was running better and within 20-30 miles it was as though it had taken a banned substance - pulling much more strongly and smoothly. Well worth the money, in my view. I posted a thread about it in the Technical Articles/Mechanicals/Engine mechanical section in June.
Dougie, I think I put all the details in the earlier thread but it's Kevin Haynes he should speak to at Haynes Vehicle Services, Thankerton, near Biggar. He made up a connector for the 993 cab in no time - see the other thread. Not cheap, and price determined by engine size, but it transformed the cab. Was thinking about having it done to the GT3 but it's fast enough for me right now! Give me a ring if you want more details.
