• Mazda 3 ts2 2.0d 2008 - Sump oil rising fast 14 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  to the ECU for the DPF warning setting. Mazda refused the warranty claim saying this is a serviceable issue. I  note from the injector readings that one injector is way different to the other 3.  I note that the sump oil has risen by over 10mm in the last 900 miles
• All diesel - Particulate filters in hot climate 9 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  . The question is does the warmer climate have any affect on the regeneration cycle of the almost inevitable DPF/FAP ?  The engine reaches operating temperature very quickly, so for most of the year (it can be very cold in winter here, even on the mediterranean coast) the exhaust will be operating at a much

  that the fault lies with the throttle-pedal and is not an exhaust DPF / DGR issue at all? Thanks in advance for any responses.
• Estate car or hatch as an overnight camper 17 Sep 2020 (Forum)
  a Skoda Rapid Spaceback byf don’t think it would be big enough. I’m a diesel fan but modern ones put me off, currently have a 1.6cr in my seat but failed regens and oil overfilling/dpf and intermittent injector errors put me off the older PD I had was much better. Are there any modern diesels
• Solid choices for (8->15 year old) small cars 7 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  We're a two car family and I've been practising bangernomics for these past few years (after a bruising experience with DPF problems on a new car), just buying sub-£1000 cars, spending as little as possible on them, and scrapping them when faced with a large bill. This has worked

• Ford Focus - Ford Focus - Which Diesel Engine? 6 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  Focus. Now I'm just stuck on which engine to go for. It looks as though there isn't much in it between the 1.6 and 1.8 litre engines in terms of economy and performance. I have heard some advice not to go for the 1.6 as the DPF can cuase problems. So I'm thinking the 1.8 could be my best option
• Peugeot 207 - What should I do, 1 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  Hi, just over 3 months ago I bought a Peugeot 207 1.6 110, 06 plate, 57000 miles for £3600, about 3 weeks after it started coming up with a warning depollution system faulty took it back to the dealers he checked it, and told me it was the DPF and just needed some additive and a good blast
• Toyota Avensis - Toyota Avensis diesel-timing belt or chain? 16 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  to everything I've read on this and other sites about modern diesel engines. My daily commute is 45 miles round trip mostly on the motorway with around 20% of that within 30/40 mph zones. I had hoped that there would be a indicator on the dash to tell me when the DPF is regenerating but should I play
• BR members called 'scholarly' by academics 5 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  people here as 'scholarly'. He said it had enabled him to impress the salesman at the garage who had told him, no, the car didn't have a DPF and he was quite right to want it not to have one... As it happens they are both Old Etonians. Etonians don't always know the meaning of the word scholarly
• Mazda 6 saloon sport 165 ps petrol - Mazda 6 sport 2 ltr Petrol mpg trip report 3 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  territory, I have noticed that modern diseasals mpg are not as good as they used to be (pre dpf), because of frequent re-gens to clear the DPF.? Negatives; On Halden Hill with 3 lanes I had to change down a gear as power does go if you don't keep the revs up, wouldn't have happened so
• Mazda CX-5 - Engine failure 24 Feb 2023 (Forum)
  and they mentioned they can't help me with it. So my other option was getting it reconditioned, so i bringed the car to them and they opened it and said the DPF was acommulating gases and the oil pump wasn't doing it work, consequently it damaged the engine. Is this possible to happen
• Honda CR-V - Changing Car.....Future 15 Apr 2020 (Forum)
  & bought from the original owner who l know locally. Being a 55 plate there's no DPF to consider & overall it meets our requirements to accommodate a couple of dogs in the back & was too good an opportunity to miss a couple of years back. However, if l were to buy now, with a budget of around 8K
• MPV diesel engines to avoid? 6 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  Hi, I am currently driving a Seat Altea 1.9 tdi that has been very reliable for the last 2 years and the 18k miles I put on it. All little stuff. I am however considering changing my car for a bigger Diesel MPV for road trips (Preferably with no DPF) and there is quite a few that I

  Hi all Just wondered if anyone had some advice. Mid November I got a new water pump put on my car and had the cambelt changed at the same time, just before Christmas on my way home the DPF light comes on, nearly home and my car revs up and raced forward like the accelerator is stuck on, the revs

• Volkswagen Tiguan - Clutch - to replace, or not... 6 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  has refused their kind offer and often managed another 10k-20k before needing a new clutch!! He only does about 5k miles each year in it (generally longer runs so no DPF worries) and about 50% of that is towing a 2 berth caravan. Given that there are no signs of impending clutch failure (no sign
• Thinking about changing 4 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  the way. Weekends usually involve a motorway journey of around at least 10 miles each way. Do back roomers think this is enough mileage to keep a dpf healthy? Although I’d prefer an estate, the dealer also has a pre-reg Euro 6 Ceed 1 hatch offered at a massive discount which I might consider as the boot
• Honda CRV 2.2CDTI - Honda CRV choices .. Which should I buy please? 30 Jan 2017 (Forum)
  I'm looking to purchase a Honda CRV and I've opted for a 2.2CDTI as it has no DPF filter fitted and my mileage consists of short trips for most of the time. There are 2 on Autotrader which aren't too far away from me and am interested in going to see both. My options
