The other thing you didn't mention trying, is injector cleaner. Take the fuel filter off, half fill with injector cleaner, refit, start and run the engine for a few seconds, then leave it to work on the injectors over night.

Thanks Harry,
I forget to mention that I did this when I replaced fuel filter and also put Cataclean in a near empty tank before I went for MOT. Tony

You read a lot of threads on this forum that say chuck a can of injector cleaner in the fuel filter..it's my view that this can trash your high pressure pump.
I'm sure there will be a barrage of disagreement with this statement but, I remain to be convinced that this a good practice |

I think you're talking total tosh The practice of putting injector cleaner into the fuel tank/filter has been standard practice in the trade and home mechanics for some time and has proven results If you have access to a T4 why not see for yourself the before and after injector readings Regards Chris |

They might Harry this is what Benz says:
With modern technology they shouldn't be required it might have been different 20 years ago but, just my take on it. Last edited by rustymotor; 23rd July 2017 at 09:17.. |

Hi Chris,
To my mind diesel is an oil and as such a lubricant cleaner is cleaner as such may remove lubricants again, will bow to superior knowledge.. |

Not to distract from the OP's original post and being a wet Sunday here thought perhaps a more positive approach is needed..
Could it be that you have a partial injector blockage think it's called "leaning" can cause increased fuel delivery having the effect of over fueling and creating higher emissions.. Possible solution could be a couple of tanks of Forte however, if it doesn't cure the problem then could be a partial blockage of an injector filter,poor spray pattern etc. There is from what I've read, possibility of solvent insoluble particles such as sand, rust etc which additives can't dissolve. Could be a job for a specialist..sure there are some here |
