Forte Diesel Turbo Cleaner (400ml)

Product Information

Toyota Land Cruiser KDJ125R (SWB) 3.0cc (1KDFTV) Turbo Diesel (D4D) RHD (52 - 09 reg, 9/2002-12/2009) Prado We recommend that the Turbo Cleaners should be used on a regular basis every four thousand miles to clean out the Turbo Vanes, so you do not get the same problem again. So anyone have any ideas how an exhaust gas can carry this cleaning mix or is the answer in the "condensed heavy hydrocarbons " which I assume occur as the exhaust gas starts to cool down after it has passed through the turbo. These additives are super easy to implement, requiring no special tools or knowledge and very little time. It is important though to ensure a full or nearly full tank of fuel in the vehicle before use. The car then needs to be taken for a good drive, ensuring the product has made its way through the turbo before full benefits can be realised. I have had no issues with the turbo until last week when the car went into limp mode on the return journey on a trip. There was no warning light and when I went to use the car a few hours later it worked fine and hasn't done it since.

We recommend that the Forte Diesel Cleaner should be used at least every 4,000 miles or on a 4 monthly basis to clean out the turbo vains.

What I do notice on the adverts for this, is that there are no guarantees of it actually doing anything? Designed specifically for use in petrol engines, Wynn’s Petrol EGR and Air Intake Cleaner offers great cleaning and restoration abilities. I agree with number cruncher & wouldn't use engine flush unless it was used on a vehicle from new & used every time the oil was changed. I too have had disatrous results with engine flush.Hdi engines now rely on perfect injection & do benefit from cleaners & certain products are very good & give astonishing results.

The unmistakable clatter of a diesel engine is becoming a rarer sound nowadays. Demand for diesel is collapsing as politicians compare diesel pollution levels to that of the Chornobyl disaster. Even the white van man, who for years was fiercely defensive of the increased economy of diesel, is switching to hybrids or even to fully-electric offerings. I notice that whenever someone queries the efficacy of various fuel and oil additives the sceptics seem to outnumber the enthusiasts and I feel that a lot of the objections are on principle but not necessarily on experience. I notice from time to time HJ (whom God preserve) in his ST column recommends certain treatments so presumably some do work and I guess he would not be included in "the one born every minute" class that some people seem to regard users of these additives as being in. Revive’s water-based formula is said to be bio-degradable and non-toxic, really emphasising the companies focus on environmental impact and sustainability. Simply sprayed into the inlet, after the air filter, the solution will pass through the turbo and engine to remove all build ups, though this may require multiple applications. Thanks to the large quantity provided, this product should support multiple uses.No idea how long this improvement will last but I haven't even finished the tank yet, so the Forte is still running through the system and I may even see additional improvements. A common issue however, that does crop up for modern turbocharged vehicles, is clogging of the turbocharger and its internal components, particularly on diesel engines. Exhaust gasses (that pass through the turbocharger) contain unburnt fuel and soot, carried out of the engine after it’s combustion cycle. This dirty air, which is particularly foul in diesel-engined vehicles, will deposit onto components within the turbo and lead to improper function, damage and even failure in extreme circumstances. It’s simple and straight forward to use and as well as cleaning the valve on the exhaust gas recirculation system, it also cleans the complete intake system and the intake valves. Spray cleaners work slightly differently to pour-in additives, in that they are not added into the fuel tank but directly into the turbo via the inlet pipework. These solutions are sprayed through the inlet hose, after the filter and sensors, allowing it direct access to the turbocharger.
