• Ford Focus Titanium Estate Td 109 (2008) - DPF Fault 7 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  I need a new DPF & sensor. Might the DPF/sensor have been the problem all along & I didn't need a new turbo?  Is this the type of problem that's difficult to accurately diagnose, or could all these different parts have become separately  faulty in a short space of time
• Vauxhall insignia - DPF 4 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  Particulate Filter (DPF) is fitted to this vehicle, and agree to take the following actions.

  Hi all, I currently have a 2007 Mazda 5 2.0 diesel which I am planning on replacing with either a Zafira tourer or Ford S-Max. One thing I have never liked about my Mazda is the fact that it dumps un-burnt fuel from failed DPF regens into the oil sump.  Does anyone know
• Volkswagen Touareg 2.5 Date 2009. - Diesel particulate Filter 8 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  has said it is the DPF and it needs replacing at £2500!! I am doubtful of the diagnosis because the DPF light has not come on, and the "engine block" warning came on after several hours at high motorway speeds when i would expect the DPF to clear itself not clog up, and the mileage is only 45000

  for a DPF regen. The EGR valve has been changed and the fumes seem a little reduced - maybe. But there's still a kind of smoky, sooty smell getting in. Could that really be caused by a clogged DPF? When  I asked the mechanic for an explanation of how those two things could cause 'nasties
