Took the beastie for a long, lazy drive yesterday through B-roads and noted how quiet and tractable the engine now is. Pulls cleanly almost from idle to 3K like nobody’s business. In third! When I first test-drove it the engine left me with a ‘meh’. “Asthmatic” and “barely adequate” was my impression of the 2.0
Now after the new spark plugs and over a tankful of Lucas injector cleaner it has transformed I feel.
Been using this injector cleaner for a long time, as a substitute for the awesome STP total system cleaner of the past. I had used lots of others (Redex etc) in the distant past and wasn’t convinced any of them actually did anything. Not even placebo.
I would thoroughly recommend this particular product every 6 months or so (100ml in a 50Lt tank works well in my experience)
It probably also helps filling up with 99RON, not sure if it has a knock sensor and advances ignition far enough, but man after the reset (battery swap) does it pull clean from down low
