307HDI......
Getting an error on the 307hdi, "Diesel Filter Blocked". I hope some one can help, had it a week and just forked out £380 for a new clutch and a full service. Not really very happy right now. Can't really afford to put any money in to the car right now with Christmas approaching. Feels like there is no turbo at all, very sluggish to say the least and now getting the engine managment light on. Can anyone help?

They get blocked from a succession of short runs from cold starts. Often they can be cleared by a 50 mile run on the motorway that gets the DPF hot enough to regenerate. But if they are completely blocked it's a dealer job. Might need a new DPF at £500+. Might need the Eolys fluid replenishing.
