Problems With 2.2 T180

Recommended Posts

I have a 2007 t180. 50k on the clock. For the past year a number times it turns 3 or 4 times before it finally starts when cold but now it is consuming a lot of fuel. I used to get 42mpg but now I'm driving like a granny and only getting 37mpg. Any help or advice please

Hi Rob - welcome to the club.

I'd be willing to guess that your car is suffering from one of 2 commonly found problems with this engine. It's been well discussed on this forum many times, but for your benefit is likely to be a clogged EGR valve or DPF.

The exhaust gas recirculation valve is known to clog up with soot from the emissions & can easily result in poor running. It's not hard to clean it, but it may re-occur quite regularly if your car is used for regular short runs from cold (including lots of stop/start traffic). You could try some Miller's cleaner/additive or a product called BG244, which many owners recommend on here.

The other possibility is a blocked Diesel Particulate Filter, again a result of not enough heat in the engine on a regular basis. These are very expensive to replace, so try the additive 1st.

Some owners have mentioned that using supermarket fuel doesn't help, as it's often stored in a less stringent manner - meaning the quality at the pump isn't so good. You could try using Shell V-power diesel or even Esso (which I mostly use). This might help keep the system clean in the long run.

Yes, try Miller Oils Diesel Eco Max. It was recommended in Honest John's newspaper column this weekend in the Telegraph.

These are the products I'd now go for from powerenhancers where BG244 can be bought also...
