Quick fix for my Jaguar XF's DPF fault.
My Jaguar XF 3.0D kept coming up "restricted performance" and yes I have been using it for short runs. However, I got a bottle Forte turbo cleaner and a bottle DPF cleaner and put them in the fuel tank at the same time. I drove a couple of miles and the DPF warning light came on. I then did about 20 miles at about 70 on the motorway and it cleared. Three months down the line and everything is fine. No warning lights of any kind. I have not done anything different. Just thought you would like to know.

Thank you. Looks like it's a cure that can work. But there are different types of DPF and anyone using an instant cure need to be sure (by reading the bottle and knowing what kind of DPF they have) that it's the right cure.
