I would be very shocked if a glow plug actually caused a misfire, it would be significantly more likely that it is the injector. |

emissions
Just had an mot failure on emissions my CDT has done 137k so I cleaned the EGR a few months ago but not the inlet manifold. Ive also noticed an occasional misfire. The mechanic told me I'm treating car too gently and it needs to be 'thrashed' for a week before bringing it back for retest. Will cleaning inlet manifold cure it or would appreciate any comments.

I had same issue last year and they have to go in the plate value . Clearly pushing diesel off the road .
I actually just give it a 15 min blast on the motorway at 70 in 4th gear and also changed the air filter. I was quite surprised how dirty it was after just 4000 miles ISH. Anyway it passed much to the disappointment of the mot tester . Good luck anyway

Now there could well have been an underlying fault, but nothing came up on T4, and the car ran perfectly for the next couple of years and a fair few thousand miles until we got rid of it. |
