Can be got from any auto shop. The garage will probably charge a fortune but will be reasonable from the shop if you can locate and fill the reservuar yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I dont think a 2015 uses a DPF additive, getbthe codes read you can do it your self with Forscan a free download https://forscan.org/download.html and an ELM adapter like this https://tunnelrat-electronics.fwscart.com/USB_Modified_ELM327/p4541936_17045457.aspx dont bother with the cheap ones on eBay, you will need a lap top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your DPF is the newer type as mentioned above, it's "coated" in some fancy precious metals and doesn't need/use an additive to increase temperatures. If I were you I'd get Forscan and an modified ELM327 cable as @pragmatix suggested, see what codes are actually stored, make a note of them, clear them and post back on here with the codes. Clearing any codes is also handy because you know any codes you find in the future are genuine i.e. fresh and not from a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Bloodaxe Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 When you guys are talking Ballochs it's very difficult for us sassenachs to know whether you mean the Loch Lomond one, or the one near Crieff, or the one near Culloden, or the one west of Girvan near the Galloway forest😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
