Slight hesitation and misfire under light acceleration, no fault codes stored.
The fault was cured by adding Forté Diesel Specialist Injector Cleaner into the fuel tank and carrying out a 15 mile road test. Customer reported that both the hesitation and misfire had disappeared and that performance had been restored.
