Placebo effect doesn't apply if using this stuff literally makes a DPF warning light go away.AdrianC said:

It's not cheap, it's +£20 for 400ML.
I've got a bottle in the garage for if/when the wife's Evoque DPF displays a light.
40-45% kerosene
30-50% a curing agent for epoxy adhesives
20-25% a petrol product
And for that, they charge £50/litre.

Many report it has, more than I've seen for any other of these products.1 -

I'll bet you that the people who've put it in have then gone on a good long hard run. Which, without the profitable homeopathy would have made the DPF light go out.0 -
It does apply, because just like someones headache might improve if they take sugar pills (because it's almost always a self-limiting condition) the DPF light normally turns itself off once the exhaust has reached a certain temperature and burnt the soot off.BOWFER said:

There are plenty of occasions where long runs don't make the DPF light go out and regens (passive or forced) don't work any more.kinger101 said:

So, for the sake of argument, let's say a driver shoves this stuff in, doesn't change their driving habits and the light goes out.
Still coincidence in your book?
Please feel free to read the myriad of reports from people who report it was literally the only thing that worked for them.
I've not had occasion to need it yet, but have got a bottle handy just in case.
