    DPF fault nightmare - Started D3 thats been sitting for 1 year

    Think I have sorted out how I can clean it if it comes to that, but how do I get it of the car? I have ramps and tools, but any clue from someone who have done it would be greatly appreraciated!

    Please do! if cant get mine to regen. Will try with the new diagnosis system. But the 2500 rpm for 20 minutes doesnt work for some reason. As I mentioned, my mechanic insisted he did to succesful regens on it. He pointted to the sensor which I changed. So a bit stuck

    Engine was replaced 25.000 km ago with a refurbised one, with a new oil pump, new timing belt and everything else. New Turbo 20k ago.

    Cleaning stuff, not ad blue. The type you pour in the tank Accourding to my mechanic he did two regenerations. But the messeage about DPF full still comes back.

    Thats the one I changed yes. have not tried any readings, my Diagnose tool died and my new one arrieves in the mail, hopefully on monday. I will try reading out as soon as possible. Yeah, I change on 10.000 km on the TDV8 I have. But have been unsure what oil to get the D3.

    Was about to do an oil change (been driven 20.000 since the last one), but this DPF nonsense has put a stop to that at the moment. Will that help in any way? DO I have to put C1 oil in it with the DPF? wss-m2c913-b is the specs suggestted in the service book, but that is not c1, but a5 i believe.

    The car has behaved like a champ so far. Well almost. Turns out the owner has been firing it up and moving it about so it wasnt completly dead. Straightened out the brakes and then it passed its MOT with flying colours. BUT. The DPF full message disappeared with some DPF fluid in the tank...

    Fired up as it should. Had been fired up now and again. Gives a fault code for DPF. left overnight with a still dead battery, the front seemed to lower, stayed up in the rear. The compressor is quite noisy, but that is maybe not strange with the car standing for so long?

    Thank yoU! How about the electric brake? If it works, is there something I should do here when I change all the brakes?

    Hi! I have been offered a 07 HSE that has been parked for a year. Was maintenanced as it should up until it was parked. Needs new brakes and a gear shift-linkadge. What else should I expect to change? Coolant? Hoses? oil?

    Swap engine L322 - any good stories?

    Hi! Having a discussion with a car interested friend. We have seen a lot of succesful and less succesful modifications to cars over the years. Rebuildt Jaguars (some guy put the bmw 4.4 in a Xj series 3), another one put a 525tds engine in the same car. And other cars, like the RRC, the...

    Well. It turns out it wasn`t the lambda-sensors. After they were replaced the cam shaft sensor-fault came up. The mechanic had a couple lying around so he tried swapping them. still there. His theory is that the timing is adjusted incorrectly and thats why the car is constantly going bad.

    To recap for new readers. 1: I had a small head gasket leak. Nothing wrong with how the car ran etc, but discovered it by accident and decided to fix it before it created any damage. But up until then the car had run flawlessly for 10 months. 2: Car was at the garage for close to three weeks...

    Garage is fixing the sensors. Why i am asking is because i have not payed the other garage yet more than half the bill due to all the trouble. So if its likely that the jet wash or Oil leak could've caused this I will deduct the cost from garage 2 on the bill.

    Engine misfire - yellow flashing -URGENT

    Last update. Both lambda sensors are off. one very much. both will be changed. question is: The garage that fixed the car originally did (without asking) a wash of the engine bay. The top gasket was also leaking oil. Can any of this have ruined the sensors? They have been changed before, and I...
