I remember reading on here that one can use ATF as injector cleaner indiesels..So as part of the usual before MOT treatment I went to purchase myself some,however the bloke behind the counter told me not to use it as "it destroysthe matrix in the fuel filter in Vauxhalls". Despite my protestations thatthe engine is actually an Isuzu and the fuel filter used for makes otherthan Vauxhall I wasn't for having it.This same guy has past form for telling me that it wasn't faulty glow plugs,they had been burned out as the car was keeping them on for upto a minuteafter starting (all this from simply testing them on a Multi Meter). I askedoooh shouldn't they be on after the car starts on ANY car... He saidnever... I asked to see the Boss (It stated on the manufacturers websitethat they stay on for a while to help with emissions and are thus designedfor that)As skipweasel said "I think he's a lying twisting git."However thinking I might have been dreaming but not being stupid I declinedhis kind offer of 300ml of Injector Cleaner for £7.50+VAT and came home tohave a chat with googleSee... (its the google archive from this group)The usual reliable suspects comment, so I'm practically converted justworried about the Vauxhall thing?TIAThomas
