Poor heater output and coolant circulation due to corrosion build-up in cooling system, EGR cooler damaged
due to poor circulation.
The fault was cured by fitting a new EGR cooler, adding 8 bottles of Forté Bio Degreaser & Cooling System Flush into the cooling system with an estimated cooling system capacity of 70-80 litres.
The
vehicle was then run at fast idle for 30-40 minutes at operating temperature and the cooling system drained and
refilled with fresh coolant adding 2 bottles of Forté Radiator Stop Leak & Cooling System Conditioner.

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.
