• Vauxhall Zafira - Fault code P1180 13 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  I had a new DPF and EGR valve fitted last week. Now the car is puffing white smoke - not continuously but enough to be noticable and a fault code of P1180 which I believe to be Fuel Delivery Malfunction.  Could anyone spread some light on this? There was no smoke before it went
• Smart Fortwo (2007 - ) - Smart Petrol or Diesel 1 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Hi, My girlfriend's considering a brand new Smart on the scrappage scheme. The question I have is should she go for a diesel or not as they have the dreaded DPF. This seems a strange thing to fit to a car destined for short urban journeys. How long would the car need to be driven for at speed
• BMW 330d - Disabled EGR results in signifcant DPF mileage 24 Apr 2020 (Forum)

• Ford Focus Estate 1.6 TDCI - Fumes inside car. In need of some clarification! 16 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  . He came to the conclusion that the issue was caused by two things: the fact that the EGR valve was stuck open plus the need for a DPF regen. So the EGR valve has now been changed and the fumes do seem a little reduced. But there's still a kind of smoky, sooty smell getting inside. There's

• A very detailed explanation of how DPFs work 2 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  I found this information on the DPF systems fitted to the Jaguar 2.7 V6 diesels, it's incredibly detailed and covers issues including active & passive regenerations, oil dilution and more.  The general principles apply to any coated DPF system (i.e. ones that don't use a liquid catalyst

• Engine fouls own nest - `food` goes into wrong end 29 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  During re-generation,with particulate filter equipped diesels, do injectors really blast fuel into the cylinders on the exhaust stroke, wetting bores and contaminating oil? Or is there a separate injector just upstream of the DPF? Is there a better engineering solution to cleaning a particulate

  For the past 18 months i've been monitoring the DPF in my Kia Sportage 2017, 1.7 diesel with an OBD plug in and Car Scanner pro on i phone. The car has done 27k miles. Virtually every regen it's performed has been after 160 - 170 miles when the soot level reaches 15 to 16 grams. I give it a 10

  looking for a diesel without DPF, and ideally with a chain cam drive and no DMF.  Something with reasonable grunt to replace the Leon which had 150hp standard and 175 after remapping. Is there any modern-ish diesel out there which doesn't have the DPF/DMF/cambelt hassles AND has proven
• Any - Clarifying "issues with modern diesels" 8 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  There are always a lot of posts on here about the issues with modern diesels... Since i'm looking at a nearly new Diesel myself, I wanted to clarify these issues. Is it just the problem of the car not doing a long / fast enough journey to get hot enough to regenerate the DPF

  or 320 D but too expensive for my cash purchase. I only do about 15k/annum and I think I may be better off with Petrol. Do they/the car tell you when you NEED to regenerate the DPF, or do you need a regular Italian tune up, which defeats the purpose somewhat. I was thinking that diesel cars need some

  Converter, however they did offer to try a new solution which has come onto the market apparently which is 95% effective (didnt ask what it was called) in these situations and if it worked it would avoid me shelling out a shed load on a new cat converter / dpf filter,  suffice to say it appears to have

  the DPF fault light come on, yikes! I've done a bit of reading on this and understand that this pug engine in the 07 Mini should activate an auto-regen. Despite that I know this engine on fords/Peugeot's requires a manual regen, so gave her a good spanking yesterday which initially seemed
