    Diesel Engine Power

    So other than a good service Ie oil filter, new oil, glowplugs, airbox.

    What else can you do to a 17 year old diesel engine to restor power? Any additives from halfrauds actually work?

    fit a petrol engine?

    well all i know dont buy smoke free stuff it makes it worse lol

    injectors can bring some tourqe back, of course unless there relitvly new

    i dont rate these aditives, you could always have it diesel tuned, dont cost much and does bring about good power and tourqe increses

    Service it, I.e new oil, airfilter & derv filter, Injector cleaner in tank then give it an italian tune up.

    No matter what you do it wont make it any faster. My 1.9 in the extra ran really well but were dog slow. Most/if not all old n/a derv cars & vans i have driven have all been painfully slow.
