Preee Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Do you have a DPF if so then start looking to trade it in unless you want to spend big bucks , because it sounds as if your car is going into Limp home mode. How many Miles have you done Does it have a DPF If yes when was the Eloys topped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidkent Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 It doesn't seem to go into limp mode, usually does it after 140 miles but was 30 miles today, switched off for 5 mins and back on and 100 miles on, no problem at all. How can I find out whether or not a DPF is fitted? It's very intermittent, we fitted a new fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very intermittent, we fitted a new fuel Pump last week (electronic one in tank) as it was fuel related when lower on fuel, one problem sorted and now this one, Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
