my experience of it also.
TDi arosa.. zero difference.. if anything been slightly worse mpg since.
Leon Cupra TFSi, diddly squat difference
Its a fuel system cleaner at best, introduced @ the fuel rail so there onwards is its "cleaning path"
It might be burning off from higher temps some carbon, as some folks have reported benefits, but it seems not everything will benefit
There are other cleaning products which do decarbonise and are usually added thru the intake system so all the intake see's the cleaning

Ok thanks chaps I will save my money and look at some different products or just forget it and buy a tip of you!
Used a product called '10k boost cleaner' on a Golf diesel with sticking turbo vanes a few years back, was sprayed in through the intake.
Shortly after the engine started up running on 3 cylinders. After trying everything else a compression test showed no compression on cylinder 1.
Took the head off and found a glow plug had disintegrated and deposited itself on the valve seat.
Coincidence maybe, but it seemed to have washed all sorts of sooty crap from the inlet manifold into the engine.
Been a Bit sceptical of these treatments since.
