Diesel Purge is great stuff. I have little or no faith in most miracle cures in cans, but this stuff is the real deal. I've had two VW diesels that ran like dogs after years of storage, and after a can of diesel purge they stopped smoking and worked great. Get the good stuff that you actually run both fuel lines into, not the stuff you just add to the tank.

I doubt it will help your blowby though. Once you get the fluids changed, a good tuneup and everything is working well, I'd just drive it HARD for a couple days. It could be carbonned up from being babied.
