Re:injector cleaning

["Milan B. Milojevic" <milanb@earthlink.net>]

AudiUSA just replaced my 1996 A6 engine at 49K for carbon build up and 
other mechanical problems.   I couldn't beleive the amount of carbon in the 
combustion chamber.  Anyway, when did you start using Audi Techron (milage 
wise)?  Is Audi Techron different from Chevron Techron, the inventor of the 
stuff?
