This is how I came to buy it:
The intake manifold went out on my GTI at 83K. I checked with the dealer, its not covered under a warranty extension as some previous years are.
The dealer said parts and labor cost $900 which includes cleaning the intake valves. I'm a former Honda mechanic and now UPS semi mech, so I feel confident I can fix this myself. I bought the new intake manifold, injector repair kits and a bottle of fuel additive for $196 out the door. It will suck to be me this Saturday. The parts guy said VW requires them to use the fuel additive anytime they replace the intake.
The bottle cost $14.80, is 200ml and covers 15.5 gallons. The additive is clear and here is the ingredient list:
Oxirane, ethyl-, homopolymer, 2-aminobutyl ether, ether with mixed distin. Residue low boiling point naphtha - unspecified, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene
