Problem with a FORD TRANSIT 2.2 L TDCi 2011 65k

EML on and lack of power due to engine running in limp mode, fault code stored for DPF blockage, unable to carry out regeneration of DPF due to excessive soot loading.

The fault was cured by removing the DPF and manually cleaning with 2 x Forté DPF Off-Car Cleaner as per instructions, carrying out an extended Forté New Generation Engine Flush 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.
