I think the general consensus is that these products work as a preventative maintenance, but if it’s been 60, 80, 100k miles, they’re not going to do much. Or they’re going to send a big chunk of carbon through the turbo’s turbine and cause bigger issues.
I actually tried the Berryman’s one on...
The top one I used two flat screwdrivers, one on either side of the connector between it and the valve cover and twisted. It forced the connector up and broke the locking tabs on the orange ring.
For the bottom, yeah I put a screwdriver between the orange ring and the black elbow and twisted...
I just installed one. Took me about 15 minutes all together. The lower connector is easier to get from underneath. I just reached up with a long screwdriver, put it in the gap and twisted. The orange clip shattered and I pulled the hose right off. Ezpz.
When I I replaced my battery a while back I did the Konami code method. When I checked in ForScan later, it showed my battery in-service counter had reset to zero.
I also received the blinking from the battery indicator as confirmation.
Or didn’t follow the process for properly removing the bearing caps and put a lot of stress on the camshaft. Valve spring pressure might have snapped it.
I used the same seller that Fitz used. They had 2 left after I ordered a couple weeks ago.

I offered ÂŁ95 and they accepted.
Yeah I just installed a set of the Wildtrak/global springs this past weekend. It rides so much better in the rear that now the front springs feel harsh. Just can’t win.
