Lack of power, EML and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) warning lights on. Fault codes stored P2413 EGR system performance problem, P1498 DPF overloaded.
The fault was cured by removing and cleaning the EGR valve and inlet manifold, the DPF was also removed pouring Forté Advanced Formula Diesel Treatment into the DPF, soaking overnight then rinsing with hot water and drying with compressed air. The vehicle was then treated using Forté Clean & Protect, 45 minute Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush adding Forté Oil System Protector to the new oil and Forté DPF Cleaner and Regenerator and Forté Advanced Formula Diesel Treatment added to the fuel tank. The vehicle was then taken for an extended road test to allow regeneration of the DPF.
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.
