Hi, Guys I'm new to the site so thanks in advance for any replies. 

I have a 2014 fiesta 1.5 tdci and to be honest I no longer do the longer journeys really required to keep the exhaust and dpf filter ect clean I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the cleaning additives that you can add to the tank ie Forte dpf and particulate filter cleaner, do they really work?

Thanks

    I’d just make sure you fill up with “quality fuels” rather than go down the additive route.

    From my own experience in the past with a 2011 and 2014 Fiesta Diesel I found they needed to regen the DPF far less on fuels such as Shell or BP than they did on Asda or Tesco diesel. 

    In addition, rather than spend money on additives spend some of that money doing a 30 minute high rev run at least once a fortnight / month to keep things in check.
