diesel testing... has it been serviced? is engine hot? was an oil temp probe used? did it stand long before test? what was the average over 4 high revs? if its high, chuck some injector cleaner in, give it a damn good thrashing and a new air cleaner |

has it been serviced? --- yes it gets serviced ( although only done about 10k this year anyway) is engine hot? ---- yes the engine was up to temp was an oil temp probe used? --- dont think so, just the exhaust probes did it stand long before test? ---- well not long but only used to pop to shops etc through the week what was the average over 4 high revs? it was over 4 , nearly 5, 3 is the limit if its high, chuck some injector cleaner in, give it a damn good thrashing and a new air cleaner |
