Hi, my 2009 2L D4D Auris with 96000 miles just started smoking heavily from the exhaust during acceleration in 2nd and 4th gears and being hesitant especially changing out of 2nd gear. I had a similar problem a few years ago with my previous 2LD4D Avensis and someone on the forum recommended a fuel treatment that definitely worked but I've forgotten the name!
I've been using Sainsbury diesel mostly of late which I had been reliably informed was Esso fuel, but maybe not any longer. How difficult is removing and cleaning the EGR valve? I can't find a Haynes manual for this car.
cheers
