I have been using Seafoam in my 98 Jetta TDi for quite some time. I have noticed that when I Don't run with seafoam for a while and then add a bottle that the amount of suit that I get rid of is substantial. Anyone else have the same?

definately NOT good for the injection system in the TDI....

Naphtha and IPA are the active ingredients. I can't see that naphtha would do much. And IPA would appear to be iso propyl alcohol. Thats the water dispersant and de-icer ingredient.

I thought IPA stood for India Pale Ale.

I do know this for a fact--the IPA I drink also makes me disperse water... /images/graemlins/wink.gif
