Hi... remember I know nowt about these odd diesel engines ..... this is the first one I've ever had in 50 odd years of petrol head enjoyment !! This is a 3.0 turbo V6 Allroad
Due to the present covid crisis, the beast is getting very few drives, and those that do occur are shortish - max about 10-15 miles, and that is going the long way round to get to the few places I must get to !! otherwise , for health reasons, we simply don't go out.
Everything I read tells me that short trips are bad for most bits of this engine from the Turbo through to the Cat to the DPF .. but I have no choice at the moment.
I am considering using a fuel additive in an attempt to reduce any problems, and the best I seem to find is "Archoil AR6400-D Max Professional" which claims to fix all the problems mentioned.
Question then, for you guys who "know" these things ... is this a "snakeoil" type claim .. or do these additives work ?? Is it likely to cause any damage or other problems to this engine ?? Is there anything else I should know/be aware of before going down this track ??
Regards and stay safe ....
