Lack of power on acceleration.
The fault was cured by removing and cleaning the EGR valve with Forté Air Intake Cleaner and cleaning the intake system with Forté Diesel I.M.V. Cleaner as per instructions.
Forté Clean & Protect was carried out and Forté Advanced Formula Diesel Treatment was added to the fuel tank.
After treatment an extended road test was carried out and the vehicle performance was restored.
Forté's Technical Helpline receives over 300 calls per month. This blog shares solutions for garage workshops on common driveability concerns that can be quickly and effectively treated. The vast majority of those identified are caused by fuel and oil borne contamination formed by natural degradation or via the combustion process. This is a fact of life for internal combustion engines where fossil fuels and oils are used.
