    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.
  • Page 7: General Operation

    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.
