• Isuzu Dmax 2014 - DPF issue 28 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  Hi Hope someone can help Bought a new Isuzu Dmax just over a year ago and having some problems. The oil level is rising. Doing some reading on this apparently it's something to do with the DPF cyle and the fact I do a lot of short runs. Can't change my work so need to go on damage
• Any - Stop-Start – is it “intelligent”? 7 Oct 2018 (Forum)
  Reading all the dire warnings about turning off a diesel whilst the DPF is regenerating causes me to wonder about the “intelligence” or otherwise of the Stop-Start system on my Toyota Verso (with the BMW derived 1.6 diesel engine). Since retirement I only drive 9,000-10,000 miles
• Nissan X-trail T32 1.6 - Particle filter/ Catalyst problem. (Not DPF) 18 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  of particle filter/Catalyst and DPF. My problem is that my particle filter/catalyst is now full of soot, I think this could be related to the failure of valve previously mentioned. Nissan obviously think otherwise and states that this is wear and tare and they want to replace it at a cost of £500
• Vauxhall Zafira 1.9 CDTi (05 - 11) - Exhaust silencer fallen off - replace DPF as well? 21 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  Hi, The silencer has come off my Zafira, the pipe has split away at the join to the box, so as it looks I should only need to replace the Silencer unit, good news, nice and cheap(ish). My concern is the sensor within the central part of the exhaust system that houses the DPF etc

  My mother in law purchased a 1.7 diesel astra brand new in January 2011.  The DPF warning light came on last week and she followed the instructions in the manual to give it a run. This did not improve matters and a further warning light came
• Toyota Corolla and Verso - How to care for a DPF? 7 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  My car has a DPF, and in light of the many stories of problems with these filters, I wonder if other forum members have any advice or tips. Most mileage on my car is done on motorways in rush hour traffic, at 60-75 mph indicated, which relates to about 1750-2300rpm in top gear. Some short urban
• An fuel additive for Diesel Particulate Filter ? 3 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Apart from the liquid needed for some earlier filters on PSA cars (FAP filter needing Eolys).... nothing more than diesel needed. If the temperature is high enough it burns off the DPF filter. If not more DIESEL is added so it burns it he exhaust to burn off the particulate matter on the DPF

  ). Unfortunately though, I took it for a spin on Saturday not realising the DPF issue (drove it in 6th for 40 miles or so) and the blessed thing dropped into limp mode on me on the M5. That being, a sudden loss of acceleration that forced me from the outside lane in 6th gear at around 75mph, to the hard shoulder
• Dirty old `soot ball juggling` diesel? - at 6.5yrs 16 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  contrasted with Common rail with DPF. The oil change interval is 6,000 miles and it seems as though its absolutely gagging for a change at half distance. It was using Mobil Super M 15w40 - but this time I used Shell Rimula 15w40. With the viscosity being the same - I was surprised it was quieter.. I had
• Anti diesel hype exaggerated? 8 Jun 2017 (Forum)
  regularly, then the possibility of AdBlue heater, DPF and EGR failures if not straight away, in the future. Those are the reasons I'd be wary of diesel. Not so economical when you have to spend £2,000 - £4,000 replacing emissions equipment after 3 - 4 year" Now I accept that EGR and DPF
• Mazda 6 2007 Diesel - DPF regen failure/air mass sensor link? 4 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  For about six months the car has, I think, had two simultaneous faults. 1) A failed DPF regen about 1000 miles after a filter replacement.  The car had covered about 1000 miles since the replacement and had done about 100 miles of steady motorway driving on the day

  I have a new shape Mazda 6 TS2 2.0d, which I bought new in late March 2008. It has done about 10,000 miles in that time, and in mid December the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) light came on. I read the handbook which said it needed a long high speed run to clear the filter. In the 3 weeks since

  dropped off also. I've had the dpf replaced 4 months ago. This problem only really started after the dpf was replaced; I read somewhere that the engine could be constantly trying to regerate the dpf? Does the engine oil lubricate the fuel pump? Could there be a leaking seal

  I had a frorced Regen on my Focus yesterday along with a DPF replenish, after the EGR valve was replaced. The Garage warned me that the PAT fluid pump was pumping too much fulid into the car, as a result of a dodgy repair done on the car before I purchased it. This resulted

  I have an error code og P2584 or simular which when I checked tells me that the DPF need regeneration. I am tempted to do this myself as ford charge a whopping £210 for this. I can get the JLN fluid for £40 of ebay. However the more I read the less sure I am, I have also readd
