• 2011 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA 2.0 VCDI AUTOMATIC - Engine won't start after breakdown with DPF fault 24 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  I am new to the forum and would appreciate your advice please. My Captiva recently broke down. The DPF warning light came on and the car went into limp mode. I tried to do a regen by switching to manual and driving above 4000 revs. After a few minutes the engine started self-revving and making a horrible clacking sound.
• Nissan Qashqai - Prang - damage not immediately obvious 2 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  My car's EM light came on a couple of weeks ago - AA said it was a DPF issue. Tried regeneration the DPF myself but no joy, so took it to the garage. Garage have now discovered a damaged intercooler, leaking coolant (and leaking AC) afftecting the turbo, which is likely why the DPF regeneration was failing.

• Peugeot 308 SW - Diesel Particle Filters - not fit for purpose? 7 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  My 2008 Peugeot with 40,000 miles had just cost me £4000 for a new Turbo and Engine becuase of this DPF thing. The fault occurred as a loss of power, no fault lights or any other warning sign that there was a problem. I bought the car second hand from a dealer who didn't offer any advice re DPF's, indeed it's not something I was aware of until I was without a car.

• Peugeot 207 1.6Hdi 110bhp Sport - 35,095miles - DPF Removal 16 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  We take your DPF off & secure it in our Industrial Pillar Drill & bore it out professionally to the spec of your exhaust system". None of these guarantees were kept so much so that (i) the engine DID NOT run optimally after the DPF was removed & it DID have error faults; (ii) my vehicle DID smoke considerably & this was pointed out to one of his employees; and (iii) they DID hammer & chisel at my car's DPF!
