I normally have to take it on a long drive before mot as its 100 cell cat. Was just wondering if this would help make the cat work better.

You could ask VW to do your emissions test....

I used it on my old M3 after it failed emissions. Passed once I used it.

Not very scientific though; could have been that I had the car warmer the second time it tested. It only just passed.

Mechanic mate of mine swears by it. Nothing to lose by using it.

Only reason I asked is that I'm intending to buy a second hand prodrive back box and am looking for ways to try and clean out existing deposits inside the pipework etc. Thought this might help but I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree.
