fuel additive for 2.1
What fuel additives are good for the 2.1 diesel? I just had a mot test and it failed the black smoke test.

Any good motor factor sells a variety of potions-some work better in different engines to others.

Best read this thread then

If you do take it for a blast, add some figures in. But do heed the various comments and warnings.
Remember - it only takes a few inches of water to drown a 406 don't make the same mistake I made! The V6 Exec is no more.

Re: fuel additive for 2.1
Before every MoT when I had my 2.1TD, I used to put "Forte" diesel additive. You can get it in Peugeot. It's not cheap (about £18), but it's excellent. The smoke on mine disappeared and it instantly felt smoother. It's brilliant stuff, worth the money.
I tried other stuff like redex and it didn't touch the car.
