• Help needed with prospective used car purchase 17 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  ). I think what made me start looking elsewhere was I read yesterday that DPFs need to be changed (£3000+) or cleaned (£300+) at around the 80k mark
• RAV4 vs Outlander 19 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  no issue with that as I am fastidious with servicing and do an interim oil change at 6k myself so I'd expect long life from them. I do around 17k miles a year mainly motorway with weekly return trips to Cumbria from Manchester so no likely issues with DPFs etc (I hope). The draw with the RAV

  and diesel cars. I don't do much miles per years. Perhaps 8000 - 10000 miles. Given that this age ceed diesels do not have the usual problem areas such as DMFs and DPFs, will the reliability of  this car be similar to a similar age / mileage petrol ceed? There doesn't seem
• Mazda 6 2.2D estate TS2 - Mazda 6 2010 engine failure due to oil blockage 25 May 2014 (Forum)
  . The problem being carbon in the oil sump, blocked strainer, blown turbo charger, replacement ERC valve, scored camshaft, the list goes on. The car has 64,000 ( low mileage for a diesal) on the clock and the DPF filter has regenerated 3 times during the period from April 2010 to Feb 2014. Mazda

• Ford Mondeo Estate 61 plate - Ford 1.6TDCi & engine malfunction - limp home mode 1 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  .   I've read other posts talk about having replacement injectors / new dpf's but this (i'm told) is all wrong.   Also the problem is common only to 1.6TDCi engines as these have much finer filters (apparently).   Also

  series - would be looking at a high mileage car. Problems seem to be occuring around the 100k mark (and before in some cases) on these cars with DPF which look expensive. Seems a risky purchase. Honda Accord - Good cars but again don't look great on the MPG
• Any - Dealer Satisfaction when ordering next car 6 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  ) have been servicing the car, twice this year plus intermediate oil change when "change oil now light" came on, another oil change due at 30,000 because i don't trust the dpf regeneration system even though it appears to be working properly, so to avoid a sump contaminated with diesel, I am doing
• A new car for my Mother 13 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  but that may come back as we go round dealers. Also because of misfueling and DPFs I?m tending to advise against diesels. I?ve suggested a C-Max or a Golf Plus. She said she really fancied that Volvo from the new adverts which I think she means is the XC60 which is too expensive as is the Kuga and probably
• Things we didn't ask for on cars 22 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  for a battery. 4. The DPF.....great idea, especially the regen cycle being so bad on many cars that it starts diluting the sump oil with Diesel. No problem I read just change it if the oil level rises too much...whaaat, we pay a lot of money for quality lubricants, with fancy ratings and don't worry if it gets

  on the motorway to keep the filter clear. In the circumstances, it seems to contradict the fuel saving devices fitted to the car. I appreciate that the technology is still quite new but can anyone advise if there are likely to similar issues to DPFs in terms of the impact of failed regenerations as I
• Dacia / Duster - SUV recommendations 29 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  with a Peugeot engined Fiesta TDCi’s injectors,ERG and DPF. Are the Dacia diesels suitable for potential longer term 5-10m mileage or should I head towards petrol? Any other feedback on the Duster’s which seem incredible value? We’re not expecting the refinement of a Qashqui obviously! We also like the look
• Peugeot 307 - Twist or stick? 9 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  and I could live with the water temp one but the ABS fault causes the car to revert to regular servo assisted breaking so needs sorting. I would also look to get the timing belt and probably water pump replaced while the system was drained. In addition, I’m aware that this car has a DPF which relies
• Any - Looking for my next car £5-6K budget 17 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  . Before I started doing my research I was dead set on a Diesel due to my higher than average annual mileage, but within my budget it sounds like I may be better with a medium sized petrol due to the potentially high maintainance bills related to '05 on diesel cars with DPF etc. That said, I've heard
• New car - old car? £7,000 down the drain? 29 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  - not the box. But it crossed my mind - move it on or not? The problem is that a new DPF diesel can`t do that exceptional stop start work and we have been warned off even contemplating it by a Fiat dealer. That leaves a small petrol motor - but the constant cold running - of typically a few hundred yards
