  Hi Hope someone can help Bought a new Isuzu Dmax just over a year ago and having some problems. The oil level is rising. Doing some reading on this apparently it's something to do with the DPF cyle and the fact I do a lot of short runs. Can't change my work so need to go on damage
• Any - Stop-Start – is it “intelligent”? 7 Oct 2018 (Forum)
  Reading all the dire warnings about turning off a diesel whilst the DPF is regenerating causes me to wonder about the “intelligence” or otherwise of the Stop-Start system on my Toyota Verso (with the BMW derived 1.6 diesel engine). Since retirement I only drive 9,000-10,000 miles
• Nissan X-trail T32 1.6 - Particle filter/ Catalyst problem. (Not DPF) 18 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  of particle filter/Catalyst and DPF. My problem is that my particle filter/catalyst is now full of soot, I think this could be related to the failure of valve previously mentioned. Nissan obviously think otherwise and states that this is wear and tare and they want to replace it at a cost of £500

  Hi, The silencer has come off my Zafira, the pipe has split away at the join to the box, so as it looks I should only need to replace the Silencer unit, good news, nice and cheap(ish). My concern is the sensor within the central part of the exhaust system that houses the DPF etc

• Toyota Corolla and Verso - How to care for a DPF? 7 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  My car has a DPF, and in light of the many stories of problems with these filters, I wonder if other forum members have any advice or tips. Most mileage on my car is done on motorways in rush hour traffic, at 60-75 mph indicated, which relates to about 1750-2300rpm in top gear. Some short urban
• An fuel additive for Diesel Particulate Filter ? 3 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Apart from the liquid needed for some earlier filters on PSA cars (FAP filter needing Eolys).... nothing more than diesel needed. If the temperature is high enough it burns off the DPF filter. If not more DIESEL is added so it burns it he exhaust to burn off the particulate matter on the DPF
• Mazda 6 - Diesel Particulate Filter Issues [Mazda 6] 4 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  ). Unfortunately though, I took it for a spin on Saturday not realising the DPF issue (drove it in 6th for 40 miles or so) and the blessed thing dropped into limp mode on me on the M5. That being, a sudden loss of acceleration that forced me from the outside lane in 6th gear at around 75mph, to the hard shoulder

It was using Mobil Super M 15w40 - but this time I used Shell Rimula 15w40. With the viscosity being the same - I was surprised it was quieter.. I had

  Well Captain Slow has been put on the spot in his latest Drivetribe. Can someone provide a link please ? But can you recommend a 3 series diesel going back to pre Dpf days that does not have the dreaded chain problem. Also do the more recent 320 D s have Dpf problems? Would welcome your
• Vauxhall Zafira - Fault code P1180 13 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  I had a new DPF and EGR valve fitted last week. Now the car is puffing white smoke - not continuously but enough to be noticable and a fault code of P1180 which I believe to be Fuel Delivery Malfunction.  Could anyone spread some light on this? There was no smoke before it went
• Smart Fortwo (2007 - ) - Smart Petrol or Diesel 1 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Hi, My girlfriend's considering a brand new Smart on the scrappage scheme. The question I have is should she go for a diesel or not as they have the dreaded DPF. This seems a strange thing to fit to a car destined for short urban journeys. How long would the car need to be driven for at speed
