Title: Engine flush....
Post by: bertie1.8vectra on 06 September 2012, 22:17:09

Any body got any suggestions for a good oil flush on a disco 1 300tdi.... i`ve got a lot of black smoke on start up and i`ve been told i should flush the engine before doing an oil change and service.....  :y

Stick to very regular oil changes before messing about with flushes.

The black smoke on start-up is likely to be unburnt diesel, not oil ;)

I did a flush on my old V6 grannie. My bro told me not to. Should have listened.

The next weekend I was fitting new big ends.  :'(

Fresh oil, injector cleaner, V-Power + 10 minute Italian tuneup... done.

Or wait, not possible on an old diesel? No idea. Lol.  :P
