Hi All,
Background - So I run an old 1999 Peugeot 306 HDi as a bit of a fun car. It's a 2.0 direct injection diesel which has a remap on it. It has all the standard exhaust on it so it has the cat converter and the standard silencers, but as it's an old car it doesn't have a DPF.
I just took it for a drive after my Mom has been driving it for a while, and when I floored it the smoke it produced was really bad. (It had built up over time as my Mom drives it very steadily). I'd like it to run cleaner as I don't want to get a bad name as the guy that smokes everyone out when he's in front. I am considering getting the remap reduced a bit so it doesn't run so rich as well. I'd loose power, and a bit of fun, but at least it'd not be so sooty.
Question - Fuel wise I am wondering, is there actually a diesel additive that's proven to reduce soot production at all?
Kind Regards & Thanks,
Jack
