 Thinking of buying a Skoda ,where can I buy a twin tank system and get it fitted, just outside Edinburgh. All help appreciated,Terry. Other problem is the merc 250td turbo isn’t working, I was told to clean it with mr muscle,just wondering if this would work?

Do you just spray it into the turbo,or do you have to take the turbo off?

I just sprayed it into the turbo exhaust side. Needed to fix a sticking dump valve. There was an on line description but havent needed it for some years. If it is easily removed the I would remove and do a thorough clean on the bench.

The Octavia is 2008 automatic, will try spraying mr muscle into turbo if it has to come off will wait till better weather. Thanks for the help,Terry.

Thanks for the online advice,have looked at a few videos,went to E.C.P. But they didn’t have a turbo cleaner,will try Halfords.
