I dont know if you interested but here are some of my tips for extending the life of a "rough" diesel, I put about a quart of ATF in the oil, for a few hundred km so that its fully circulated in the system. I do a lubro moly diesel purge. I also decarbonize the engine by useing a water spray misting bottle and spraying water into the turbo while the engine is running at 2500 Rpm for about 5 minutes. Once thats done I run a 5W40 sythetic oil. I personally have had good results with this technique.

Using water to decarbon the engine is a very old technique, Use your best judgement and dont hydrolock your engine.

After these steps, I noticed much smoother running, much easier starts, better power, and less smoke.
