Lumpy Idle - Teraclean...Potential fix??
Recently had a service where the mech overfilled the oil.
The car developed an oil leak and lumpy idle...overfil resolved, no leak, however idle is still lumpy.
I suspect oil has ingressed into injector ports??
Rather than pull everything apart and clean I have been looking at alternatives.
Saw Teraclean on Wheeler Dealers....http://www.terraclean.co.uk/
Would this work?
Has anyone tried this system? What did it cost and was it worth it?
TIA

There are a number of threads here recommending a Liqui Molly product that is not available in the uk under the name that it is in America, but there is an equivalent which is here that may be what you are looking for.

Nope, the injectors have a straight shot onto the back of the valves.
Your mechanic is at fault and should clean the intake manifold and ISV on his dime.
