Snake oil that seems to work! V Power + Nitro 5 May 2017 (Forum)

Cant think of any other reason or explanation for this other than fuel. Fuel ecomomy is improving but thats as likley to be temperatures rising so cant really say. Maybe I've not been waisting my money , I will keep going with it anyway. -
2006 Mondeo 2.0 HDI Diesel, 30,000 miles - 2006 Mondeo 2.0 HDI "pulling"/"jerking" 4 May 2017 (Forum)

This disappeared as soon as I put my foot down a little and everything was normal. But it would reproduce itself when coasting at around 70mph in fifth gear. Revs over 1500. I've noticed this at slower speeds in 4th, but far less. -
