“why use CRD Fuel Enhancer in new, or low kilometer common rail diesels?”
Many owners already know the answer to this question, having experienced some very expensive problems.
Here’s a great example of two 2012 Holden Colorado 2.8L turbo diesel engines.
Both were serviced according to the log book.
One has used CRD since brand new. The other has never used CRD.
Let’s compare throttle bodies:
The above photo was sent to us from a new customer, whose Holden Colorado has 60,000km on the clock.
As you can see there are heavy deposits around the throttle and the inlet manifold will probably be fouled and it could easily become a $2000 fix.
The customer noticed that fuel economy had deteriorated and the engine didn’t seem to have the get up and go it used to.
Usually, the engine will also start to rattle, oil use, smoke, and defaulting to limp mode are all possible complications. All of a sudden you’re told you’re up for injectors or a new EGR valve.
This second photo is of my Colorado’s throttle body, at 120,000km.
We asked one of our local mechanics (Future Automotive, Sumner Park) to take a look at, and the photo speaks for itself. They were pretty impressed to discover it was “As new” clean!
So when people ask us why they should bother with running a fuel additive through a new vehicle the answer is easy… Using CRD Fuel Enhancer regularly in your fuel will give you the best possible chance of avoiding problems down the track.
