• VAG 1.9 TDI - Procedure for re-connecting DPF back to turbo? 14 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  Hi, I have done a lot of work on my car recently but the only thing I am really struggling with is refitting the DPF/Exhaust back onto the turbo, it keeps blowing out! I didnt think I would have this much hassle when removing it so I did not pay much attention when removing. I have

• Ford S Max 07 2.00 Titanium - dpf limp mode 12 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  Limp mode happens rarely but car can be driven again after 15 minutes. Will a hard drive (how hard?) regenerate the dpf. problem - hardly any dual carriageway in my part of Norfolk. Can I use A roads in a lower gear?

  The new 1.5 Diesel Nissan Note from November is Euro 5, 110g/km and has a DPF.Can anyone advise if the current model, Euro 4, 115g/km has one? I realise all Diesels will have DPFs fitted before long, does that mean that they will all be unsuitable for town driving due to regeneration
• EGR / DPF failure rate 6 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  Could anyone give me their opinion on: - an approximate percentage probability of me having issues with an EGR valve and / or a DPF if I buy a 6-7 year old VW Sharan? Budget £10-12k. - an approximate cost for each at a good independent garage. The car ticks the boxes for what I need - space etc
• Citroen DS4 2.0HDi 165 - elm327/Torque app for DPF data? 2 Sep 2016 (Forum)

  Hello All, I'm aware of the DPF issues the 2.0D Mazda6 (08 onwards) suffers from. However, does the newer 2.2D engine have the same complaint? Anything else to be aware of, or is the latest incarnation now a well sorted car? As always, i appreciate your opinions. Thanks
• Mazda 3 sports (185) 2009 - car computer not reset 17 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  Flashing DPF light on dashboard 13/02/12.  Mazda dealer diagnostic revealed no fault on DPF, light caused by their failure to reset car computer after service in July 2011.  Will this have had any adverse effect on the DPF/engine to date or cause any premature failings in the future?
• DPF Filters - Just how bad are they? 14 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  Having read the horror stories about particulate filters, I have at this point resigned myself to avoiding an SUV fitted with a DPF and am looking to purchase a Honda CRV 2.0 petrol 4WD. (4WD will suit my purpose better than a 2WD due to some of the places I park) My budget

  Hi all,    Took my motor in for a service last week, and upon inspection of the DPF my mechanic reports that it has 'clearly been cut out' by a previous owner - which on the face of it, isn't a massive problem as it prevents any massive bills for that part of the car

  On a recent drive with an OBD-II scanner plugged in, I noticed the soot weight in the DPF as reported by the ECU started at 0 grams, steadily rose to around 600 grams, dropped back to zero, and slowly rose up to 600 again. This was over the course of about 30 miles.   (I had
