I used Forte fuel injector cleaner and agree, this stuff did make a difference. However, I keep it pretty diluted as its one bottle per 50 litres of petrol so I just fill up the tank to the top when I use it.

Hi joshuajames, I've PM'd you... I know the place you're located very well!

I've used this before too and it certainly improved compression on my prior car. That's why I wondering about these additives on a high powered Subaru engine because they do seem to seal and tighten up the engine. Injector cleaners certainly work I've found when I dropped one into a bowl of this additive type.

Nice one. Interesting, Thanks for your valued opinion. I thought I'd give the injectors a clean - probably NEVER been done as my car has been garaged lots and had an older chap own it who did few miles.

In general, Subaru engines are powerful with a lot of torque. But do fuel additives and oil additives provide any benefit? I used to have an Alfa with a 1.7 flat-four and this was ok with these. I was thinking of trying an injector cleaner. I've used these on my former cars because the kerosene in it cleans the injectors adding a bit of torque and making it more efficient on fuel and increasing responsiveness. Also, there's an oil additive I've used that was a brilliant non-PTFE type which seriously improved torque and made the engine much more responsive and tight. Does anyone here use injector cleaner or oil additives on a Subaru flat four engine?

I thought it must be something like that.... with 31 years IT experience I had tried all sorts of ways to create my car avatar but resigned to the fact it was blocked for me. Thanks for confirming Chris. Much Appreciated

So how do I make it my Avatar??? Still lost.... LMAO

Did this work?

ok I'm new and can't even upload an avatar... lost completely. I tried to edit profile and it says "Change" for this but it wants a URL so I have no idea. Any place I can put a pic of my car? I need HELP Why can't I just paste something LOL

Just joined the SIDC forum today! I've now purchased a 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX. Really looking forward to reading some useful Techy info and contributing.

I found the Subaru Dealer and garage in Shelford Road good (on the junction of the new Addenbrookes Road). Kevin (Service Manager) was very helpful. They are the Buckingham Stanley group. http://cambridgesubaru.co.uk
