Hi Guys
I`ve got a Peugeot 1.9 Td engine in my van and it smokes really badly on start up,(182,000 miles)
I`m going to replace the glowplugs but i`ve also heard that the injectors may also be at fault,
I`ve read about ultrasonic cleaning and just happen to have an ultrasonic cleaner in my shed ;D
What should i put into the cleaner to help clean the injectors and is it really worth doing??
Cheers
Adrian

If its running alright but smokey get a new fuel filter (unless replaced recently) and a can of forte diesel system cleaner and use as directed (its professional use only but you can get it off ebay)
When i asked a chap about the meriva problem he said that would cure most smoke problems in use, but our car refused to start so had to remove them get them tested cleaned and retested.

Hi mate, I just done a near enough full rebuild with my xud lump, What I did to clean was I took apart the injectors and left them in a tub of GUNK engine degreaser, it took everything off it  This with a new set of plugs may sort your problem out! |

Hi Ross
How hard was it to strip the injectors?
Also is the engine in my Expert the same as in a 306??
I`m tempted to pick up a spare engine to strip and rebuild
Cheers

If having 200Bar+ hot diesel sprayed through them doesn't clean it... and they're dribbling fuel (would give a shedload of smoke at startup/general running)
....then you need new nozzles, not a clean. Cheaper and easier to just slap in some 2nd hand injectors mind you, most scrappies will sell injectors for £5-£10 each

Old taxi trick, a gallon of celly thinners to a full tank of fuel (think the fx4 was around 80 litres) cleaned everything a treat and made em fly through emmisions.. As yo your engine being the same as the 306? Your engine is the same as a 205/309/405/visa/bx/zantia/partner/boxer/ldv/fso caro/ and many many many other vehicles. probably the most used engine in history |

Thanks for the replies
Sounds like it might be dribbling injectors
How hard is it to remove the injectors?
I've never done any work to a diesel before
