I emailed the supplier and several local franchises (as well as commented on Facebook and YouTube posts).
My offer was to pay for a complete terraclean service for any RS4 owner wanting it done. On the proviso it's health checked at MRC before hand, then cleaned, then manually inspected at MRC again afterwards. If confirmed by MRC that the terraclean performs as completely as a full manual clean, then I'll cover the cost.
Surprise surprise, no one took me up on the offer. The makers of the snake oil don't want it laboratory tested clearly.

Re: terra clean
well I can only go on my findings
and in my eyes it's made a difference
by how much I don't know
but will hopefully be going to mrc after aitp
so will see what power it's doing before a remap

Unfortunate that you didn't get a power run pre-terraclean though as no way of knowing what difference it made.stu148 wrote:but will hopefully be going to mrc after aitp

Anyone else doing this could at least log airflow with VCDS pre and post I guess.

Re: terra clean
to be fair to the old boy who's owned the garage 30 years
he did say to me if I didn't notice a difference it would be free
as I told him what you lot was saying
do once it had finished he said go on take it up the road
I did then happily gave him the £90
