• Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi - Does the 08-11 suffer the turbo problems of 04-07 5 May 2015 (Forum)
  problems on the 2008-2011 1.6 TDCi facelift model but I am trying to check if there have been problems with those model years as I understand Ford improved the oil supply pipes for 2008+ model year I would buy a 90bhp model hopefully without the DPF if the turbo gets a clean bill of health

• Fiesta 1.4 tdci- Revs fluctuating when cruise control on 18 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  first long drive yesterday and the revs start to fluctuate ever so slightly once in a while. I also noticed a pattern where it always occurs when going down an incline. When this happened before I thought it was the DPF regenerating. I am taking it back to the garage in 2 days time and I have

  to use my car and we'll take hers to the VW dealer when I get home (I'm working away for the next 10 days) Could this be a problem with the DPF? or some other electronic glitch. Car has done 18000 miles. Any ideas? I'll also phone the dealer tomorrow but would be good to have some idea of the problem
• Sprinter;Transit;Transporter - Which - Hi Top Van for local Deliveries 10 May 2014 (Forum)
  . The van will be used on these local runs so we have concerns about DPF 's blocking as the van will not benefit from a long run except on the odd occasion. Understand the Vauxhall/ Renaults have a poor reliability record and have no knowledge of the new Transits. Heard good reports about

• Ford Focus CC diesel - £942 for a service and work - pants pulled down? 7 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  braced myself for a bill of at least £225. Guy phones me after two hours and says (a) front and rear discs and pads need replacing (b) wipers need replacing (c) fuel additive needs replacing otherwise the DPF could fail and land me with a £1500 bill (d
• Audi A4 diesel saloon - Low-mileage turbro failure 28 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  I recently suffered a severe power reduction while motorway driving. My car was 21 months old, I'd had it from new and it had done 25000 miles. It then used a litre of oil in about 6 miles to the garage and subsequently the turbo, exhaust system and DPF had  all to be replaced, fortunately

• Budget Automatic Run Around - Help!! 15 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  but highest speed I will ever get up to is around 50MPH and it won't be a long stretch (lots of roundabouts). Could get quite a bit of stop-start traffic on certain days hence the requirement for automatic. I will do the odd motorway run on weekends which should clear the DPF if that's a factor

• Watchdog 20/10/11 26 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  Anybody see Watchdog this week with the segment about the DPF's? If you didnt see it there was nothing that we hadnt heard before and was essentially the same thing we've been saying for ages to all buyers who come on here asking for advice. Its interesting how its taken the nations
• Vauxhall Astra Twintop 1.9 150 Design - Spanner warning Light 23 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  The spanner light has appeared on my dash. The peddle test revealed trouble code relating to the PDF P2452. I took the car out for a few long journeys to give the DPF chance to regenerate to no avail. Long story but I've been back and forth to Thorney Motorsport

  filter, oil filter and oil and cleaned out the DPF. All of this has improved the performance but its still slow! I'm all out of ideas now, has anyone else got any suggestions? I have a Peugeot planet diagnostic and the engine is no longer reporting any faults, is there anything I can test using
• Vauxhall Insignia - Faulty Flywheel on Insignia CDTI 160ps Ecoflex 30 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  that it was an issue with the DPF, however, after driving it in traffic, they agreed that it was definately clutch related and stripped out the clutch and gearbox. I got a call earlier this week to tell me that the Dual Mass Flywheel was faulty and would need tobe replaced, however it seems that they are now on back
• Skoda Octavia I (1998 - 2004) - 03 1.9 Tdi... solid? 28 May 2009 (Forum)
  100,000 miles. Is the 1.9 Tdi unit decently solid or not? I doubt if the car has a DPF, but does it have one of these absurdly fragile dual mass flywheels, and is there any risk of the fuel pump going? It will spend quite a lot of time not being used, and most of the use it gets will be pootling. I've
