Revive UKASNCMBA7436 Turbo Cleaner & Power Restorer Starter Kit For Diesel only

Product Information

In this article, we’ll explain why you should keep your turbo clean, how you can clean it, and list some of the best turbo cleaners available on the market. Why You Should Keep Your Turbo Clean By performing the 3 step process of the Revive treatment, carbonised layers are removed gradually, making the engine cleaning process very safe. We could see the actuator rod of the turbo moving but obviously the vanes were jammed. On running Revive through the system I was pleased to have an exhaust extractor coupled as the amount of smoke that instantly poured out of it we would have been well fumigated. Upon completion a road test and it was like a different vehicle it would accelerate well and drive as well as a new one. Spray Revive in 3 doses of 250ml into the intake, 1st with the engine running at 2200 RPM, next at 1800 RPM, stop the engine for 3 minutes, re-start the engine then finally at 2000 RPM. GDI engines present their own issues which are beyond the scope of this list, but if you have a turbocharged GDI engine, we recommend going with the CRC cleaner.

Turbochargers, the automotive worlds current solution to all customer needs. Need more power or torque from an engine? Turbocharger. Require lower emissions and a smaller engine size? Turbocharger. The efficiency, power and emissions standards required from modern engines have led the majority of vehicle manufacturers to offer nearly all product lines with turbo-enhanced combustion engines. They enable small engines to make large power outputs, without the extra emissions and size restraints imposed by a larger engine or one with a greater cylinder count. This is something that is becoming more relevant by the day, in an industry obsessed with environmental factors and carbon emissions. ALL of the above codes were cleared with the exception of "0415 : Engine Oil Temperature above normal range" which required the changing of the temperature sensor itself. This item wassourced directly from Freightliner and Rob changed it out which eliminated the final code.

Technical Data

Carbon buildup is the main reason why you might need to clean your turbo. Remember that a turbo is a form of forced induction and uses exhaust gases to push more air into your engine. Unfortunately, the exhaust gases contain particulates, hydrocarbons, and sometimes even oil. These additives are super easy to implement, requiring no special tools or knowledge and very little time. It is important though to ensure a full or nearly full tank of fuel in the vehicle before use. The car then needs to be taken for a good drive, ensuring the product has made its way through the turbo before full benefits can be realised. RESTORES ECONOMY, POWER & EMISSIONS Cleaning the turbo and other engine internals helps restore fuel economy, regains lost power and reduce exhaust emissions. As mentioned above, Wynn’s have spent their many years in the industry vastly expanding their product portfolio. This means that they have also ventured into the spray turbo cleaner market, understanding the need for a more direct product aimed at those with the know-how and time to implement such a product.

Pour-in additives are generally the easiest while sprays are more involved, so let’s go over the best for common situations.The car, an Audi A6, has done 102800 miles of, in the main, motorway style driving, giving me on average 51 miles to the gallon. The power and acceleration were fine and the only problem seemed to be a bit of smoke at start up and when I accelerated away at speed. A friend then said to me that this may be due to the turbo charger getting clogged with carbon and this could lead to the turbo over boosting and giving me an engine warning light / breakdown error. As I was given details of 'Revive' some time ago I dug out the sheet to re-read the details. This seemed to be what was needed to do the job, so I booked my car in for the treatment whilst having my M.O.T test. My daily is just your basic MK4 TDI. It serves me well but doesn’t get all of the love and attention that it should because I would rather spend my time working on VWDiesel and dreaming up cool new projects. For example I have 2 American Racing wheels on the car that were on it when I got it, a factory 5 spoke wheel, and a factory spare because I have been meaning to get a set of Audi Fat Fives thrown on it for several weeks now. Such is the life of a mechanics car.

Whether your car is turbocharged from the factory or you’ve installed an aftermarket turbo kit, keeping it clean is the best way to ensure its longevity. The single biggest enemy of turbos is carbon deposits. Think of it this way. You will happily spend a little extra for more data on your phone, a nicer bottle of wine and that slightly plusher sofa. Turbo cleaners simply aim to improve the driving experience of your vehicle. They will maintain its efficiency and reliability, whilst also saving you from expensive repairs in the future. For such a small outlay, there really is a lot to gain and not a lot to lose.

It calls for a more involved procedure compared to other turbo cleaners on this list, requiring you to warm up the engine then spray the throttle body repeatedly until the bottle is empty, revving it to a specific RPM, letting the engine idle, rest, then driving it for up to 10 minutes at highway speeds. Since VW introduced the ALH motor in 98 with the New Beetle and 99.5 With the Jetta/Golf the VNT or Variable Nozzle Turbo (also called Variable Vane Turbo) we have had issues with carbon buildup in our engines and turbos. The normal route to take care of the problem, such as on a mk4, is to take the turbo off of the vehicle, take it apart, and then clean the carbon buildup out of the vanes by hand. I have done this process numerous times and it is a pain. Removing the bolts that keep the turbo together can be nearly impossible. The solution we are discussing today offers VW owners, and other diesel owners hope of an easier way. The Revive Turbo Cleaner is a water based non-toxic, non-flammable, substance that is sprayed into the intake of the turbo and goes through you engine clinging to the carbon deposits, breaking them loose, and remove them from the engine. Loads easier than removing the turbo. To start the process I wanted to make sure my turbo vanes were actually moving so I reached behind the motor and pushed the turbo actuator by hand. It moved free enough but I could tell there was a good amount of gunk in there.

Avoid this headache by using the CRC cleaner, helping ensure the valves and/or turbo do not become bogged down with carbon and other debris. For such a cutting-edge business, Ecomotive’s turbo cleaner is very much in-line with competitors’ offerings, that’s not to say this is a bad thing however. Like rivals, Ecomotive’s turbo cleaner spray promises to clear turbochargers of unwanted contaminants, restoring conditions to manufacturers specifications. This will allow resumption of correct air: fuel ratios along with optimum performance and restored fuel economy as a direct result. Over time this will create a poor seal on the valve seats and increase friction on the valve stems and ultimately add to increased unburnt and recycled air contamination creating further carbon build-up.While it is arguably the most complicated treatment on this list, involving more steps that are very specific, it helps clean both the intake valves and turbo of a GDI engine, which is crucial. Both intake valves and turbos are expensive, and replacing either is going to be costly. Firstly no smoke, starting in the mornings and accelerating away on the motorway are smoke free. The acceleration from 50-70 MPH is stronger even carrying a heavy passenger load, you can certainly notice the difference! I wanted to try to get some hard data on the results of the Revive Turbo Cleaner verses relying on the ole’‘butt dyno’ which doesn’t translate well over the internet. So I fired up VCDS and took some videos of the Specified Boost (red in the graphs) and Actual Boost Green in the graphs. But I can really tell a difference in the before and after just by driving it. I live in a fairly hilly area and the car would sometimes go into limp mode when pulling up some of the hills if I was hard on it. I couldn’t make it go into limp mode after the treatment, and areas that I used to have to downshift into 4th or 3rd I didn’t have to now. Before
