hi, got a freelander 1 2.0TD, Thinking of taking out the injector's to give them a good clean, there doesn't seem to be a problem with them so is it worth taking them out? or will a fuel additive do a good job? if so got any recommendation's.
If the hippo is running do not remove!!! ..... these things can be real bar-stewards....
if it sarts and runs and you really want give the system a good clean ..... do a common rail purge. Use BG244 Power Enhancer | BG 244 | Diesel Engine Cleaners | Fuel Injector Cleaner buy a new fuel filter ..... tip power enhancer in new filter and refit. start motor run for 2 minutes at idle. Switch off and leave for 24 hours..... restart and go for a good 30min run keep the revs up a bit. This should work a treat...BG244 is a really powerful cleaner. Good luck please post your results.
If it's a Td4 then leave well alone & use a good injector cleaner. If it's an L-series then it would probably respond well to having the injectors ultrasonically cleaned & recalibrated by an injector specialist.
