Mazda Mazda 6 (2008 -) - 08 2.0d DPF problems 12 Feb 2013 (Forum)
It has done about 10,000 miles in that time, and in mid December the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) light came on. I read the handbook which said it needed a long high speed run to clear the filter. In the 3 weeks since then it has covered over 600 miles on motorways on long runs and the light went out, which I assumed meant it had 'self-cleaned'. Yet on Sunday, the light suddenly came on but flashing and the 'check engine' light also came on, and the car had gone into 'limp mode' (which means I have no turbo) so it has gone to the garage, where they say it needs an oil change, filter change and the DPF system regenerated (at a cost of £250+). -
