Additives, Checks and Maintenance

Model: Volkswagen Bora MK 6 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Checks and maintenance

Regular maintenance of the vehicle ensures a long life. Adding a specific additive to the diesel improves performance, cold starts, cleans the injectors, and reduces sludge in the engine. To add the additive, remove the fuel line, insert the container's spout, and press to introduce the correct amount of liquid. Wait a while for the additive to take effect. Start the engine in an open space and perform several accelerations to continue the cleaning process. If necessary, proceed with a second attempt.
