it makes a difference but its a very very small one, if you use it for long periods it would be better due to it breaking up the deposits in your cars piping

It's a good idea to use it before your mot as it lowers emissions

does work but best to use it often to see any sort of difference but using V-power preminum fuels do same thing

I would reccomend quality fuels over redex, they burn cleaner so you tend to use less of them and get less coke build up.
They also contain detergeants which also help

It made a HUGE difference to me but only because I am driving a diesel that hadn't seen any TLC in about 5 years and had been running on tesco s**te fuel. I used wynns anyway which is the same stuff i guess

Wynns injector cleaner did wonders on my old petrol when it was running rough once.

Thanks for all the replies. As I do about 2,000 miles per month in mine, I'll give the redex a try for a month and then a quality fuel.
I'll follow up a reply in any case

thing is with radex is when you start putting it in you need to keep putting it in every so often becouse yea it does a great job at cleaning the insides but it takes away any protection that the insides had to start with from factory so it will clog up next time alot faster

well so iv been told when i was on my apprentaship (dont have any scientific facts or out but they kept sayin to us not to use it for this reason unless all else fails lol, like that tyre weld stuff great if you get a punture but youl still need a new tyre at the end of it becouse it corrodes the inside an makes the paint flake inside the alloy so you need a rim refurb aswell ) always read the label! lol

Yeah ive heard this too, Just stick with V power or BP ultimate or any other fuel above 95ron and itll be better than using a feul additive.
Actually cheaper too

Using things like Reddex also void your warranty if you still have it
