Problem with a FORD TRANSIT 2.2 L TDCi 2012 96k

Engine not running due to excessively blocked Diesel Particulate Filter. EML on and fault codes stored for glow plugs and EGR valve faults.

The fault was cured by fitting new glow plugs and a EGR valve, removing the DPF and manually cleaning with Forté DPF Off-Car Cleaner as per instructions, carrying out an extended Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush and adding Forté DPF Cleaner & Regenerator into the fuel tank. The vehicle was then taken on an extended road test with the vehicle performance restored.
