Why does the MN need the manifold change?

It has been my thinking that the problem is something to do with the way the 3.2 intake system is designed/plumbed, so that sucking it's own fumes naturally causes it to choke.
But now that Aus 2.5's are dropping, it makes me think it's got to have a bit to do with the fuel used?
Maybe why they have brought out the "all new" Mits additive?

the ml had a massive prob with carbon build up in the manifold. do a search on here....a lot of ml's got it replaced /cleaned under warranty.....
better solution is to block the egr and to install a oil catch can.
mitsu claimed that the mn wouldn't have that prob anymore

I agree with it being linked to our fuel!
In Europe theres 3 types of diesel to choose from at the servo's and its hard to find the normal ULP pump. (ie. other way round to here). They are Bio, Non turbo diesel, and specific diesel for turbo's..
Europe is filled with diesel road cars (the most popular choice by a country mile). I ended up with a 3 series BMW when I was there last and it was a commonrail TD. In fact every car available for hire was diesel and manual. You have to be 30years+ to drive a turbo engine in Europe by law.
It did 900Km+ on a tank averaging 200km/h on the autoroutes. very economical.
In the next few weeks I will have some stats to see if that additive worked for me. Atm the engine is running nice but probably more related to the flogging I just gave it over 2000km.
back on topic
I suspect that they are making changes to the manifold to combat our poor fuel. But given the designs are done in countries that have better diesel standards than us I think we are screwed..
