2013 Honda CR-V 1.6 I-DTEC
Just over 2 years ago around 28k ago I saw this car for a DPF clean and engine carbon clean and now it’s back again for the same treatment.
So this time there’s a fault relating to the Oil dilution which is very common on most diesels fitted with DPFs as diesel can wash past the pistons if not being burnt efficiently in the regeneration process usually due to faulty Glowplugs.
So for this one same processes as 2years ago 90mins engine carbon with the JLM EGR and intake cleaner.
Then a DPF clean a flush using the launch Uk DPF clesner.
After all cleaning processes were complete the DPF data as reset and I removed around 1litre of oil to then reset the oil dilution on the diagnostics.
Suggested to the owner to get an oil service done asap and also on the test drive after found that the coolant temperature wasn’t reaching above 75Degrees so this one is also due a thermostat!
