Running diesel purge - Fun measuring blocks?

Hi there,

My hex-can cable highlighted imbalanced and far-from-0 injector values which indicate a round of diesel purge for my 157k high mileage 05 Passat. I thought it would be fun to log the hoped-for change in values while running the purge through the engine. Aside from block 13, are there other measuring blocks that would be good to monitor?

No clue. I did a diesel purge at about 130K miles and noticed zero improvement in how the car ran.

Interesting question. At 156K miles my injectors seem just fine, and no, I don't even have an injector pump because I have unit injectors. Except for the FF, the fuel system has all the same parts it rolled out of the factory with.

The Diesel purge thing isn't a bad thing to do, but in my case, it did not seem to make any difference. YMMV...........
