So thought to hell with it, I'll try the water decoke method. I fixed the flame trap at exactly the same time as I did this video and then went for a drive so I CAN'T BE SURE this actually even done anything to be fair! But it did stink, and produced a lot of steam so it done something. The car drives wonderful now, no more dropping gears needed and it has not stuttered/hesitated once on hills or whatever. But again, it could of been the blocked flame trap causing the problems all along... I will keep an eye on engine run-on and see if it has lessened any and report back my findings. Video to come here in 5 mins..currently uploading and I've got painfully slow internet. __________________ 1999 V40 1.9D (D4192T2 engine) Current mileage: 211,000 miles Average MPG: 54.4 Last edited by Volvon; Dec 21st, 2011 at 16:49.
