Hi all,

My 1999 V70 has just hit the +200k mark, very pleased with it. but, it has a little smoke when you floor the gas pedal...well a ton of smoke....great when some tosser is tail gating you as they tend to fall back coughing....but may not be so good on it's next MOT

I bought some fuel/diesel/injector cleaner and chucked it in the tank when we last filled it up.....

Is that stuff any good?....should i continue to buy it at £3 a bottle?......or what can I do to make sure it definitely passes it's next MOT...I have a little while as it is in May

cheers for the help/advice in advance

Hi , thanks for the reply...it is a diesel....it has a small puff of smoke when started, and then a shed load if you drop it to 2nd or 3rd gear and floor it, once that is done and you try it again it appears to have "decoked" for that journey.

The car on the whole is not driven hard. The smoke is just "smoke" dark and tastes foul!!

cheers
