How can I fix DPF issues?
My wife has a 2014 Mazda CX-5 with 80k on clock. We have Been advised by a garage that the DPF is more or less knackered and causing turbo failure. One garage advises a DPF delete but another said not to as the turbo is also part of problem. We have been told to scrap the car. What do we do?

A faulty or blocked DPF can cause issues elsewhere in the engine including the turbocharger, so it could be that it is a fault for problems with the turbo or that could be a separate issue. Removing the DPF would make it illegal to use the car on the public road, so we would suggest trying an independent Mazda specialist who can properly diagnose the faults and come up with a solution.
