  1. Anybody any experience of decoking services or products?

    Good or bad?

  2. I used revive on my ford galaxy as I had sticky turbo vanes causing an overboost eml limp mode issue. Worked a treat. Its tdci 2l engine. The amount of shit that came out was horrendous. Do a youtube search. GSF is a stockist. I waited until I had a discount code and got the kit for about £50. Worked for me.

  4. If this is the actual thing you want to fix you can decoke a VNT turbo with oven cleaner for less than a fiver.

  6. Having said the above, I did see some good recommendations for Forte's Injector Cleaner when put directly in the fuel filter.

    Using some diagnostic software you could actually measure injector health on my last car - or at least by how much the injectors are deviating from the baseline - so I tested it and found a noticeable improvement. I only did it because I could actually measure a result - and I expected it to be snake oil!

    I can't say what effect improved injectors offer in reality, though.

    I did it on my 175 when I changed the fuel filter just to be on the safe side.
     
  7. Well I suspect the VNT is sticking having had it on the rollers post DPF/EGR delete and map.

    It was apparent after several runs that boost was fluctuating and the map trimmed a little.

    I know when I changed the EGR the last time it was essentially coked up so suspect the inlets are the same.

    Just thought it was a good idea.

    I've read about the oven cleaner. Just worries me a little about its aggressive chemical nature and any downstream components that may not like it.

  8. Here is my print out.

    I could view what the calibrations guy was checking on the screen and could see he dropped the number of iterations which therefore displayed a smoother curve. If more plots had been set you'd see it fluctuates a lot more and is almost noticeable when driving.

  9. Or if you want to do it for free just mist some water into the inlet from a plant sprayer thing.
    Water will decoke the engine very effectively
