2005 Volkswagen Passat TDI - injector cleaning with Lubro Moly 'diesel purge'

[pferdestarken]

the same way as shown I think

How can i do that in a diesel cooled system passat 2001

@stavroscustom If you drop the oil pan you'll see a chain driven oil pump/counter weight balancer, the chain has a tendency to snap, and when that chain snaps you have no oil pressure resulting a catastrophic engine failure. Theres an upgrade that VW made where the oil pump and counter weight runs on gear.

is it normal to sound like an old tractor?

[StavrosCustom]

@masster64 i sound like that as cover was removed and bonnet opened. But i havnt notice any changes after purge;)

[zech007]

I hear a chain driven balance shaft!!! Get that fixed before it fails!!!

[StavrosCustom]

@zech007 hahahah.... where in TDI you have chain???

[UziTKD]

yes its fixed thanks, the mass air flow was not working and i put in a new air filter too. all is well now. still cuts off at times when the car is cold. ive been looking at the new passat 2011, looks pretty cool! i want to buy it...

Nice demo video -- I don't usually bother running it throught the fuel filter though.

[jerktrucker]

why not just put it in the fuel tank?

[fabfinn]

You can use it as an additive, but it's primarily formulated to be run straight into the engine for intense cleaning.

@jerktrucker Diesel Purge is specifically made to be fed full strength directly into the IP.

@jerktrucker Way too low cleaning concentrate and therefore too low cleaning effect...

[UziTKD]

@Anacinc , so what do you think is the best way to clean it? and plus my car isnt picking up power at all and its a tdi 2001. :( what do you sugguest i do?

[Anacinc]

Hi! Before blaming the injectors I would seriously suggest to check your MAF sensor, inletfilter, fuelfilter, intercoolerhosing (no leaks) and ECU logged fault codes. These are common and more or less easy to fix problems depending on your skills as a mechanic which most TDI's seem to get after a few years or above 150k to 180k. Nothing to worry too much about but if fixed the TDI runs so much better!
