Jaguar XF - P052F Glow Plug Module Fault Code (No symptoms) 28 Dec 2022 (Forum)
There are no warning lights on the car and it drives 100% fine but if the Glow Plug Module isn't working, DPF regenerations won't take place - indeed, I haven't noticed a DPF regen for a few weeks. Has anyone else had this problem and is it worth me buying a new genuine Jaguar Glow Plug Module before the mechanic comes out next week to carry out more tests or will it be ok to wait for him to arrive and then buy a non-Jaguar part Glow Plug Module from a motor factor on the same day? -

Ford Kuga - Ford Kuga mk2 2.0 smoke and burning smell 10 Apr 2019 (Forum)
Been told smells like clutch burning (although clutch response didn't appear to be any different from any other time I've driven it, gear change smooth and biting point still quite low) or possibly the dpf regenerating and just law of s0d that I was stationary and the heat increase caused the smoke which had I been driving would have blown by unnoticed Never had a dpf in a motor so asking for any suggestions please Off to Spain tomorrow (yup, bad timing as always) so gonna call dealer as still under warranty but would like to go prepared with some info as the dealer was a little dismissive of past issues we've reported with the car Thanks in advance and free Spain keyring for anyone who can correctly diagnose this issue from the basic description ive given lol -

Vauxhall signum 1.9tdci - Vauxhall keeps going into limp mode 13 Feb 2017 (Forum)
Had another diagnosis done still no error code. I had a new dpf filter and pressure sensor fitted to the car and it ran perfect for two weeks,then the same problems began again. It seems to happen more when doing faster mph than when just pottering around at low speeds.Car has had a new egr valve just before I brought it two years ago.
