Lack of power due to engine running in limp mode, engine management
and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) warning light on. Diagnostic check carried out showing 100% soot
loading in the DPF.
The fault was cured by removing the DPF to manually
clean using 2 x Forté DPF Off-Car Cleaner as per instructions. The vehicle
was taken on an extended road test with the vehicle power and
performance restored.
Thanks to Ian at Ian Brown Services in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.
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.
