Velar DPF clean killed my car

It doesn't go uphill................its applied through the adblu injector port .........which is uphil as you put it of the egr cooler and egr valve
Gotcha,, sorry.. thought it was near the dpf itself.. I've seen them doing it underneath but maybe via a sensor port
 
I've heard of cars stalling/failing to start because of too much back pressure from the dpf, but never physical damage.
This white stuff must have expanded faster than the exhaust could expel it. Once one has exploded, the fissure must have sealed again for another rupture to take place?

Did it really happen? Pics?

Low pressure EGR 'could' draw fluid or vapour up from the exhaust as the pickup point is after the DPF, the throttle butterfly is closed to encourage use of exhaust gases. Both EGR's are closed during DPF regen so unless they didn't put it into a forced regen before the test drive, theoretically, some liquid or vapour 'could' be drawn into the engine.

If this is a 'real' situation, I'd suggest the OP contacts their insurer.
 
Don’t forget your credit card company if you paid using a credit card.
I’ve already paid for the DPF cleaning guy and then the new DPF and CAT. I was presuming that would be the end of it and that I would have my car back. Think it’s going to be a long and hard road to prove who’s done what wrong. I’m meeting the garage owner tomorrow to see what they say.

All the time, costing you Sh1t loads of money.
I hate modern technology, I wouldn't have a vehicle with ad blue.

Hi, to be honest I’ve had it 6 years since new and apart from brake pads and tyres I’ve been lucky. People kept saying once it was out of warranty sell it but I do feel this issue is caused by poor mechanics and poor DPF cleaning technique. Either way no one’s owning up to it :(

You have finally been bitten by modern technology and possibly a dodgy operator.
This is where the wallet, probably starts taking a hammering.
Sorry to read this and hope you can get it sorted, without to much pain.
Really sounds like you should be getting legal advice though.
Good luck with it
 
The reason I asked is a friend of mine had a similar warning on his vehicle, but after diagnostics it turned out to be the adblue sensor at fault.
I’m wondering if the mechanic who came out to clean dpf actually did any diagnostics or went straight to pumping crap into the car.
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

He did plug in his tablet but he just started with the DPF clean. I’ve now arranged for the car to go to the Land Rover main dealer on Thursday as I need them to see what the cause was. I’m hoping the DPF guy has good insurance!
