LittleBlue88 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Sounds like too much fuel being injected in causing bore wash i.e fuel getting into the sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Does it run ok or seem rich ? CTS or maybe a leaking injector, neither are good things to have wrong for long engine life Quick fix maybe 2x bottles of FORTE Injector cleaner (nothing else works as well) into 1/3 tank of fuel, go for a drive when really low and only then refill fuel Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastcard Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Nige, Any ideas where to get the Forte injection cleaner from. I had a look around and it seems a trade only product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
