58 plate Octavia 2.0 tdi L&k 88,000
I used to do 20000 a year when I first purchased the car but changed job s about three year sago now doing only 6000 all small in town driving . So surprise to me when last year car under acceleration nearly always the same hill, went into limp mode, black smoke also at other times during acceleration. I read up on all the possible causes on this and other forums and didn't like what I saw with regard to cost of replacing turbo ,cleaning egr etc even started looking at purchasing a small petrol hatchback.
Then after reading the forums on terraclean thought what the hell give it a go so in January Used A1terra clean in Darlington ,man with a van to the door. Opted for both the fuel process and the chemical egr treatment as £20 discount total cost £160. Took 2 hrs no issues
Since then no matter how hard I've tried no smoke no limp mode . Success
Ps now give the car a reasonable run and regular Italian tune ups rather than driving like miss daisy all the time
