Glad to say a bottle of injector cleaner and a 200 mile trip seem to have sorted out the issue and its now running great
Yep, I’ve heard it many times. But never seen it. A bit like ghost stories.You need to read this.![]()
We'll never know the real reason for 100% but perhaps the 200 mile trip would have fixed it and perhaps not. Maybe the injector cleaner helped to clean the dirt that was causing the problem. This was an issue that happened overnight so was almost certainly caused by dirt rather than wear and tear. In that situation something that helped dissolve the dirt will make the difference.Yep, I’ve heard it many times. But never seen it. A bit like ghost stories.
It wouldn’t have been the 200 mile trip, then?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc. The reason homeopathy is still practised.
You could do worse than use my favourite Comma Diesel Magic!
Photos! Including spray pattern.
Why is it always anecdotes? Why does it never work for me or anyone I help? Have I been a bad boy?
I have to give this a try with both my Freelander and my recently acquired Zafira. Both a bit lumpy on startup and smoky for a few minutes.Remove the injector and clean the tip spray nozzle out, it should make a difference,
Brilliant Elv. Thanks for clearing this up for us.Dont need to provide photos. Simple fact is that my no 3 injector wasnt functioning properly and it is now after running a bottle of injector cleaner through in 30l of fuel thats good enough for me!
Before replacing the injector I thought id try adding a 500ml bottle of Wynns Diesel clean extreme ://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/engine-oils-and-car-fluids/car-additives/diesel-system-additives/?555770090&0&cc5_862&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3If-4qal2AIV5pXtCh1cTADgEAQYASABEgJpHPD_BwE
and after a 200 mile run the injector is now functioning fine with no more shaking of the car at idle and no more white smoke at start up. So as far as im concerned it did what it was supposed to do perfectly and saved me the cost of a new injector. Wether you believe that or not is completely up to you but im more than happy with the result!
Also for the comment that it was likely to be the 200 mile trip rather than the cleaner. Id already been using the car which is actually my wifes on an 80 mile round trip commute each day for 3 days to try and clear it which included sustained high revs to try and clear it but it had made absolutely no difference until I added the cleaner.
I did stop about 70 miles into the 200 mile trip to see if there was any change and it had improved slightly but was still not running right. However by the end of the trip it was idling perfect with no more 'stumbling'. 2 days later now and still running great
I tried some turbo cleaner and what a load of rubbish and as I thought about it now correct me if I am wrong but what a turbo does is to force air into the engine NOT diesel so when I put this turbo cleaner in with a tank full of diesel how could it clean the turbo
