That got your attention!
Seriously I have been chasing problems that don't exist but did have a less than perfect engine response - did all the stuff - MAF Synergy EGR bypass BMW crankcase filter etc - it improved but I could hear all was not spot on - it sounded like an injector - loadsa cleaner improved a bit but still not there.
My wife even noticed ( no offense but cars are not her thing) and said it sounds like tappets!!!! Wot you know what tappets sound like - so I was near Halfords and bought some Wynnes additive ( recently had synth oil change) popped it in and there was an almost immediate change of engine sound - smoother and quieter.
My imagination I thought but no - it's now quieter and pulls really well and fuel consumption has just gone from 33mpg to 36mpg at very quick motorway speeds!
I am impressed - looks like I had a sticky valve lifter.
All good now.
