  has not really improved as the third tank where I got only 30mpg included a long trip, including motorway from Shrewsbury to Banbury. The mechanic said it might be the diesel particulate filter (DPF) that is to blame. Shouldn't a blocked DPF throw up an error? Would a blocked DPF not allow
• Mazda 6 Diesel Estate - Mazda Mazda Mazda oh dear 24 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  i thought i would post my disgust in Mazda Engines as i cant believe how unlucky i have been. I purchased a Mazda 6 estate in 2011 on a 56 plate and nearly a year later due to a DPF problem had to get rid having spent over 1K trying to get it sorted. Thinking i was unlucky with that one decided
