    bg244 any idea where i can get that from you know whats causeing it

    BG244 is readily available on eBay.

    It's not cheap but is effective.

    A dirty fuel system, injectors, EGR valve or turbo will all cause problems.

    Once the fluid has run through then you will find the car runs smoother.
