I used diesel purge on my 2001 golf tdi with 60k. It was smoking alot on co=
ld start power was down, and mileage was down. I have since put 5k on the o=
do and it STILL runs much better. ZERO cold start smoke, and power is up, a=
s well as mileage slightly. I ran the engine straight from the can till I c=
ould see bubbles in the fuel line. Took about 30 minutes. I highly recomend=
 this product. As far as an inexpensive place to get it, try http://www.eur=
ocarpartz.com/dieselpurge.html

for some reason the link is down as of 8:00 am, but that is where I got it =
from for something like $4.50 per can.

    >>Has anyone ever used some stuff called "diesel purge" and if so how
well
does it work? <<

    I tried it on my 84 A1 Jetta a couple of years ago.  IIRC, there was a
string on the subject and we tried to figure out what it was made of.   It
was mostly very high cetane fuel and a bit of solvent for breaking up carbon
deposits.
    It worked quite well in the Jetta, for awhile.  In that specific case-
engine of unknown, but probably very high miles- I wound up having to
replace the injectors as at least one was sticking open.  Whether the Diesel
Purge bought me a few extra months on the old ones, or broke loose a piece
of carbon that otherwise would have stayed somewhere else I don't know.
    It may or may not help as regular preventive maintenance, but I'm not
sure I'd recommend it for resurrecting injectors that are past due for
replacement.  With 20k on the injectors, it might be worth a shot.

    >>Also is there another place to buy this stuff from that doesn't cost
as much
as Parts Place sells it for?<<

    Try Olympic Auto Parts:  http://www.forparts.com/index.html   They were
about half what Parts Place wanted.  That was a couple of years ago, though,
and there may be cheaper sources.
