Have a look at forte engine flush mate, you would need two bottles, would take years to clean that off by just changing the oil
Is that better than the others? I can get this for under £3 as we're a Comma stockist!

Might actually give this a try too, has anyone used this flushing oil on a Td5 ?

Not sure mate but I used forte engine flush in mine (2 bottles) when first got it in 2016 and it’s still running beautifully but it’s important not to rev the engine apparently

My mate did this on an old pd130, worked an absolute treat
Its a tip I picked up many moons ago that was used to cure sticky tappets in K series engines, will it did not actually cure them it flushed the crap out and the fresh oil cured the noise.
I have used it a few times myself with great success.
Driving home last night I had a bit of a thought... I remember quite a while ago mentioning on here about the lower temp thermostat I had fitted (78 or 82*C one) and @sierrafery commented that it might not be such a good idea. I wonder if running it at that temp for a year would have contributed to the build up of dirt?

Hi, i really dont know if that can be th reason or not... what's certain is that at lower ECT/FT it gets more fuel and the EGT is higher.... i dont remember, did you say something about consumption then?
