Vlad said:I have been trying to lay my hands on some of Liqui Moly's Diesel Purge which all of the Diesel guys in the US use to clean their injectors and pre-chambers.
They swear by the stuff......problem we have in the UK is that there are currently no Liqui Moly agents![]()
Does anybody know where I can lay my hands on some Liqui Moly Diesel Purge??????????

glojo said:4mpg is a noticeable difference, if your driving style, the distances and speeds etc are exactly the same?? Did you notice a difference in traffic flow on the build up to Christmas?
I would be interested to read Dieselman's comments.
Does your vehicle have a catalytic convertor?

Brian WH said:My manual indicates that "Petrol Fuel Additives" must NOT be used.![]()
And before anyone says it - This was a general statement not for my engine.![]()
glojo said:Hi Brian,
I am unable to move at the moment, but was also of the opinion that the warranty is very clear. NO fuel additives. I did not think it was specific over petrol or diesel?
To me it is a clear issue, I fully understand the arguements about the use of certain 'additives' and their benefits, but if I dealer blatantly ignores the warranty instructions then surely they have wilfully broke the terms of the Mercedes-Benz warranty?
I would be grateful for any observations on this issue as I would perhaps like to consider the use of some types of fuel additive, but I will NOT knowingly contravene any of the warranty conditions.
Regards,
John
Brian WH said:Yes I am of the same opinion mate.
My manual only mentions additives for petrol engines. Under Diesel it talks about using mixtures of fuels like Kerosine, but no mention of anything else.
My mate who has just bought an E320 CDI like mine, said I would be breaking the Warranty if I used Additives but I cannot find anything specific that says so. Anyway if the Dealer uses Additive to clean the system at the service, then what is the difference??![]()
glojo said:Hi Brian,
Just persuaded 'the boss' to fetch the manual. I have only had a very quick look, but page 484 last paragraph certainly seems clear enough?
That's page 484 of the 211 manual
Was it a holiday that you have just returned from?![]()
Bye for now,

Please quote what 484 says mate.

***Do not use fuel additives as they could lead to increased wear and engine damage. The use of fuel additives limits warranty claims****

I'm not personally going to be writing to them. My car is over 4 years old, and is out of the Mercedes warranty (I have a private warranty from AON and I'm perfectly happy with it). The only Mercedes warranty I have personally is Mobilo Life (and I'm going to be claiming on it for the rust some time soon when I get my act together).glojo said:I would be very grateful if you could keep me informed of any response you get from Milton Keynes.
concordepilot19 said:I was wondering about injectors today after I filled up. I always record my MPG and I've noticed a decline recently (47 mpg down to 43 mpg for identical motoring). Could this be :
i) B service required in 500 miles
ii) winter spec diesel fuel
iii) age (4 years old with 112,000 miles full MBSH) most of which driven by me.
or a combination of the above.
