General manual ValveCare-DI Introduction Despite the name ValveCare-di suggests that the system can only be installed with VSI-DI, it can certainly also be combined with VSI-2.0 MPI and Direct LiquiMax Gen3. The ValveCare-DI system is a full electronic sequential regulated additive dosing system suitable for direct injected and port gas injected engines.
The consumption of the additive has a ratio of 1 litre additive on 1000 litre LPG. After 100l gas the injected additive should be 100ml. In case the additive reservoir is empty, the Prins switch will indicate a blue exclamation mark (blinking), and the engine can run another 4 hours on LPG.
Wiring loom The wiring loom has 3 super seal connectors for connecting the dosing unit and additive reservoir. The other ends should be connected (soldered) to the Prins wiring loom/car wiring, according to the electrical diagram. Add the extra 1K8 resistor for the VSI-2.0 MPI systems, like described in the wiring diagram.

In case of a 3 or 5 cylinder engine, outlet 4 and 6 should not be used. In the ValveCare-DI software, the right settings should be made. Prins advises to use a small piece of 4mm PA hose, melted together, to plug of the unused Remark! outlet.
Supported software ValveCare-DI is supported from Application software number 1055. Check this version before installing the ValveCare-DI system. When the software number does not match, flash the AFC with the latest online firmware. Contact your importer / distributer when the Application software number still does not match.
