Lack of power and engine running in limp mode due to blocked Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), fault caused by turbo failure and excessive
oil in exhaust causing DPF blockage.
The fault was cured by fitting a new turbo, removing the DPF to manually
clean using Forté DPF Off-Car Cleaner as per instructions, carrying out an extended Forté New Generation EngineFlush and adding Forté Diesel Specialist Injector Cleaner and Forté DPF Cleaner and Regenerator into the fuel tank. The
vehicle was then taken on an extended road test with the vehicle power and performance restored.
Thanks to Neil at Ree-Car Garage Ltd in Chichester, West Sussex.
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.
