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.

Problem with a VW CRAFTER 2.5 TDi 2010 175k
Engine management light and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) light on, fault code stored for DPF blockage. Unable to regenerate DPF when driven, suspect DPF heavily blocked.
The fault was cured by adding Forté Diesel Specialist Injector Cleaner and Forté DPF Cleaner and Regenerator into the fuel tank, removing the DPF and manually cleaning with Forté DPF Off-Car Cleaner as per instructions. The DPF was then regenerated and reset using diagnostic equipment.
Thanks to Kevin at FRL Auto Services in Dartmouth, Devon.
