If anyone can help with advice it is greatly appreciated.

Been having some issues related to what felt like carbon build ups in egr and turbo, probably in breather tubes and exhaust as well. So I used some fuel additive to help clean it out a little in case there were any deposits in the fuel and it ran sweet with increased response, so the following week i fuelled up a full tank and used another brand of additive this time. It ran great for a day or two then started to lose power and acceleration felt strangled and really struggled until finally this happened and wont start. My thoughts are to have the egr out and gut the carbon out it, get the fuel tank emptied and replace the filter and pump, refuel and have a carbon cleaning service run on it.
