A last update on the car. Besides the injectors I ended up installing a new aftermarket DPF. I went to the yearly technical inspection here in Belgium yesterday (like MOT) and I was so glad it passed the soot particle test with flying colors. It's only putting out 15k particles, the treshold is 250k but there's a grace period for everything under 1M particles. So it's waaaay under the limit now.
They did notice some swelling of the brake lines in the back though and I was really ashamed that I missed that, but it was no cause for failing the inspection.
So I'm really glad that I was able to get this car in shape again, it doesn't feel like a 13-year old car and I hope to get a few more good years out of it!
