If it’s done short trips the best thing to do is to change the engine oil as this is where the problem will be from excessive soot load and fuel contamination. Off the shelf fuel additives are IME BS given the tiny concentrations used. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Thanks for the recommendations. Yeah, I took it to an Indy when I picked it up and asked them to do an oil change. This was more of an additional measure just to keep things right |

I add 25ml Millers fuel treatment to every tank and have done so on all cars for years. I have never had a injector or fuel related problem but may just be lucky.

I use a can of this https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/gb/super-die...tion-title in every tank. No longer use V Power or other premium diesel, just standard with the additive. Seems to run very smooth and I am hoping it has the preventative effects of stopping any injection component failure etc in the future. |

The best that can be said about fuel addatives is at the concentrations that they are used at least they can't do any harm. The fuel systems in these cars are not known to have any particular weakneses and using quality fuels and changing the fuel filter at the service intervals should generaly mean the fuel system will outlast the rest of the car. Save your money and put it towards an extra oil change per year if you want to give your engine a proven life extender. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
