I have a 2015 Jetta 2.0 TDI 27,000 miles and was wondering if Diesel Extreme would be good to use, if not what would you recommend.
Thanks

Not ooking for power upgrades, VW just did my software mod for Dieselgate and the check engine light came on. My diesel mechanic said to use it in EVERY Diesel that I have asultra low sulfur diesel can cause issues.
The reason for the question is with the new extended warranty I do not want of void it.
So you are going to use something that could void the fuel system part of your warranty through not being an approved VW additive? That doesn't make any sense.The reason for the question is with the new extended warranty I do not want of void it.
Hey, Rattler.....lighten up. I think his main concern was would the use of the additive void his warranty so he was asking the crowd here. I don't know of any adds that void warranty. If the additives did then all of them would be under scrutiny. Power Service, Howes, Optilube and on and on it could go. I do agree DE is just pricey snake oil.So you are going to use something that could void the fuel system part of your warranty through not being an approved VW additive? That doesn't make any sense.
Wow! DE sure is some pricey snake oil...........
Ya, I guess it's how you say it. If you had an HPFP failure and VW knew you had been using an unapproved by VW additive then yes VW would have a very strong case for voiding your warranty. Do you know of any additives that are approved by VW and why would VW "scrutinize" additives that they don't recommend using?Hey, Rattler.....lighten up.

That they might be and if they had worked for VW in the past few years making VW TDI's run better they might be sitting in a courtroom and facing a prison sentence.The tuners have been working overtime to unfix the fix, Good news is, they know better how to make diesel Volkswagens run properly than Volkswagen does.
IDK of any tuner that is the CEO of a multinational automotive manufacturing company. DeiselGate never was about dangerous levels of Emissions, it is about deception by VW.That they might be and if they had worked for VW in the past few years making VW TDI's run better they might be sitting in a courtroom and facing a prison sentence.

It is because the BMW guys that I switched to Hot Shots Secret productsSorry for the thread bump...but I have been running this stuff on BMW diesel for the past 2 years. Bunch of us have seen this stuff quiet down noisy injectors and clear injector related codes. That's a big deal, when injectors are $300+ each. I have no affiliation with this company, but understand there will be doubters...just one user's opinion/experience
@KeyTDI +1I own 3 Diesels, a 1984 190D(230k), a 2009 ML320(66k) Bluetec, and a 2012 TDI JSW(121k).
All of them get the same treatment.
A shot of DieselKlean, and a shot of MMO in every tank.
About every 5th tank or so, they get a can of Seafoam too.
......
I have actually proved to myself the the Seafoam works great multiple times at cleaning and keeping injectors clean in my gassers.
Its $6 a can at Walmart... I always have a few cans on hand.
Never used DE... maybe its good... maybe snake oil...
I too run Diesel Kleen in every tank I run about 4 oz per fill up and about every 5th I use 8 oz--maybe overkill maybe not, but it cant hurt if it keeps the fuel system clean, plus I replace the fuel filter every other oil change, cheap way to keep it going and running wellI own 3 Diesels, a 1984 190D(230k), a 2009 ML320(66k) Bluetec, and a 2012 TDI JSW(121k).

The 190d needs it especially, as its so old school... for me its the same as when we switched from leaded gas to unleaded... and these old queens need the additive as the ULS Diesel is well know to be lacking lubricity. I have also noticed a 10% increase in MPG when I used the Dieselklean vs not, time and time again...
