Additives for TDI? - VW GTI MKVI Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVI Forum / VW GTI Forum

Just wondering if anyone uses any additives for their diesel cars like system cleaners or DPF cleaning additives? If so, what do you recommend?

On the advice of KermaTDI (who I trust), it was recently suggested that I begin using Diesel Kleen additive (silver bottle due to my warmer climate) in my TDI. Just added first treatment the other day, so no observed effects yet, though I've read about benefits: decreased engine noise and mildly improved MPG (based on driving style, of course). White bottle for colder climates.

the only additive that i use now is the LM2002 ( liqui moly), Ive tried stanadyne, optilube, power service, this is the only one that actually does something, I can get more mpg, engine runs quieter and the car drives better.
