dubman 39 Report post Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) During a thread dig, Alias and Cliffdunedin mentioned a subaru upper engine cleaner, after googling this product also, decided to give it a go. Boy does it make a difference. It returns to idle smoother, the engine breathes easier and little vacuum leak symptoms dramatically lessened. The most noticeable thing was 1st gear, the car no longer jerks and stammer, just smoothly idles along, and the throttle response is alot better (without load). Made all this difference AFTER i cleaned my intake and throttle body thoroughly. Highly recommended !! Edited September 17, 2011 by dubman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted September 18, 2011 Glad to hear it worked well on your Bimmer! From my experience has worked magic on Subarus and Mitsibishis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
