tractor Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 fender change your fuel filter and see if it still cuts out, I'm willing to bet that will solve your issue robin it sounds like your having a failed regen, this is where you stop the engine while the car is trying to regenerate your dpf, if this happens all the excess fuel that's used during the regen gets dumped into the sump thinning down your oil, that's why your cars telling you to change your oil. a good sign of this happening is the engine fan staying on after you switch the engine off. trac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben goddard Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Just thought id update everyone on my situation, as i posted the original question about the DPF. After being told it could cost £1000+ to replace the DPF, i scouted around, and decided to replace the DPF. It hasn't cost me £1000. its cost me £260. I had a new part off of eBay for £189 + £10 delivery, and i dropped it off this morning to be fitted by a local garage, and he's charging me £60 to fit and reset the learned values of the DPF. I did think about getting it removed, but with the new MOT rules, i didn't really want to do that, and telling the insurance company about a remap would probably push my premium up. the downside is i have to run it up the motorway for 20 mins a week or so.

TomsFocus Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 £60 to fit? Is that just over an hours labour? I reckon he'll regret quoting that quick lol! Glad I didn't have mine removed as everyone seems to be getting dodgy remaps lol. My replacement has been and still is all good, doesn't regen very often and barely notice when it does! I do at least 2 20 minute 70mph trips in it every week though tbf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben goddard Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah, i thought that when he quoted me. i was expecting something around £100-£150. i usually do short trips, so i decided that every wednesday on my day off, ill be doing a 40 minute journey on the motorway. 20 minutes out, and then 20 back. hoping that should be sufficient to regen it once a week.

ben goddard Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 UPDATE. was supposed to have the car back today, and i gave the garage a call, and they said they are waiting for a sensor to come from parts, i assume its the pressure sensor. He said it broke coming off. i hope he doesn't think I'm paying for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 There aren't any sensors to break... Pressure sensor sits on the battery box and you only remove the pipes to it. Anyway, I guess you've got it back now....so what's the verdict? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 there is the pre particulate temp sensor which bolts on to the side of it, mine was damaged when I had my DPF ...... "fixed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ah yeah, had forgotten that one, how does anyone break that though? It just screws out and unplugs...I'm fairly clumsy and mines still fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ah yeah, had forgotten that one, how does anyone break that though? It just screws out and unplugs...I'm fairly clumsy and mines still fine. i have no idea how they did it, the engine bay was totally covered in dust so perhaps that had something to do with it, but after they hacked it apart the temp was a steady 200c, new sensor and its fine again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 White/grey dust? That'll probably be ash from the DPF. My sensor came out with a furry coating of ash the first time I checked it lol. Making me wonder if mines still working now lol. Been over a month since I checked for any fault codes etc so may have to again soon lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 it was a strange red brick colour, damn stuff got everywhere took a good few hours to clean it off an now im completely anal with keeping it look clean! not sure how they damaged the sensor as they didn't remove it, im guessing whacking around the inside with a hammer must have upset something see one thing with having it all nice and clean, you can see where all the crap and what not gets about, makes its easier to see things leaking. oh and a induction kit would be right in the firing line for crap spraying through the top vent, probably worth knowing if someone's looking to install one!
