If you can get Comma Flush Out, or its French equivalent, I would give it a try. Unfortunately I can't guarantee success with a diesel though.

Hi Simon,In all the 56 years of motoring I have never used a Flushing oil and never had a problem with an engine. For a reason I removed the sump of my 188K diesel and found lots of sludge in various pockets of the casting webs even after regular oil changes at half the recommended mileage, I dont think that any amount of flushing would have removed the sludge. That is why I never use it.
