Lack of power and engine running in limp mode due to blocked DPF,
unable to carry out DPF regeneration.
The fault was cured by removing
the DPF to manually clean using 2 x Forté DPF Off-Car Cleaner as per
instructions, carrying out an extended Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush
adding Forté Oil System Protector into the new oil and adding Forté Diesel Specialist Injector Cleaner and Forté DPF Cleaner & Regenerator into the
fuel tank.
The DPF was then regenerated and reset using diagnostic
equipment and taken on an extended road test with the vehicle power and
performance restored.
Thanks to Marcus at Westfield Motors in Truro, Cornwall.
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.
