Engine malfuction light came on. Had scan and DPF was the issue. Had a forced regen,which temporarily fixed. Only lasted a day. Removed Fuel vapouriser,partially blocked,got it cleaned ,poked soot out of hole, then with solvent and blown out with air. Electrics checked out OK. All seems to be OK now . Fuel economy seems have improved,7.1 l/100 km mixed driving,used to be around 7.4. Car has done 175,000km.
Do you think it would be a good idea to get the vapouriser valve inspected & cleaned as a regular maintenance service?. Easy to remove, with a hoist, say every 75,000km or something. What do you think?. |

I replaced mine at 240K km, now have nearly 400K km with no further issues. I still have the old one, which I will one day clean out for a spare

Vaporisers Seems to block around the 180k mark. Most times they can be cleaned out rather simply. I then do a forced regen with Forscan and job done.
At least you got to it quick and didnt keep driving it... Can get a real pain to clear the DPF once it gets too clogged up.
