Default Is it OK to use STP Complete Fuel cleaner on an A6 2.7T?
I have a 2001 A6 2.7T and was wondering if / what kind of cleaner / system was safe to use? Any help much appreciated.

I'd be inclined to use the Techron F.I cleaner instead, personally.

I agree, Techron is better. IMO, STP products leave more behind then they remove.

Default I've been using Redline cleaner. Available at Pep Boys.

This is my first Turbo ~ I was just wondering if it would have any ill effects on the Turbo system if I used any additive / cleaner.

Use the Techron in a tank of fuel before your next oil change.

Use Chevron gas which has Techron in it.
