• Mazda 6 - Mazda6 2.0d 136 2005/06 - Do they suffer like 143? 16 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  Hi All, I've been reading up on the DPF issues on the 2006-2008 Mazda6 2.0d 143bhp models. Are the 2004-2006 non-DPF equiped models more relaible, i.e, the 136bhp models? The Mazda6 fits my bill perfectly in terms of bootspace, comfort, handling etc, but i'm getting worried about all these engine failure reports.
• Ford Focus - DPF problem - 2.0 Diesel Focus 2006 8 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  I've recently picked up an 06 focus 2.0 tdci and I've had limp mode come on. I've been to the garage who have said code p2002 is showing which? is essentially the DPF. The thing is, the DPF is brand new including the pressure sensor and all of the wiring.  I believe p2002 means: Trouble Code: Diesel Particulate Filter Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1 A regeneration was done and the light reset, within half a day it was back.

• Peugeot 307 04 plate - Fault Codes 4 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  The next door neighbour has the car above, it has 132k on it, He reckons it's got very rough and sluggish and has stopped using it. My first thoughts were either EGR OR DPF, so I plugged in my newly required solus pro ( this was also a case for me to play with it to get some experience) and it threw up the following codes, My thoughts pointed to the DPF and additive, but would that also link in the MAFF, Turbo boost sensor & DPF sensor a?

• Ford Focus C-Max - Ford Focus C-Max 1.6 TDCi - Power Loss / DPF Query 21 May 2011 (Forum)
  I'd rather not as one poster commented 'play Russian roulette with the lives of my nearest and dearest'. 2. Some although not all are fitted with DPF, it is not clear how to find out which. This particular vehicle is a 110bhp version with 129g/km co2, the sales man told me it has no DPF. Obviously if the power loss affects non CVT versions then I shall walk away and consider other options.

• VW Crafter CR35 2.5TDI - DPF!!! As usual. 20 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  The last straw was when i agreed to take it back one last time, i had the van out from the dealership one day then the DPF light came on, took it for a long drive then all warning lights started flashing i.e. coil, engine and dpf....got the van recovered to the dealership. The fix was that it needed a new Adblue injector and that its all ok now.
