My 80 series cruiser is really sluggish, ( diesel, 205,000k).
Have seen advert in 4WD magazine for a product that 'flushes out' the gunk that diesel motors apparently build up, thus improving performance issues such as smoke, rough idle, power loss, and improving economy.
Has anyone used this (CEM Flushing Oil Concentrate) or similar product? Does it really work. Can it do damage to a motor?

I would consider the following works & CEM product treatments:
1. Injector Service & Inspection
2. If not servicing Injectors consider Injector Cleaner treatments
3. CEM FTC decarboniser treatment (De Coke and Carbon Engine)
4. CEM oil/engine flush to remove deposits/sludge build up
This is on top of ensuring your air filter and fuel filters are serviced regularly.

thanks all for you thoughts.
Vehicle has been serviced regularly so might try the injector service and inspection and will reassess from there.
