Hi
Have just bought a Doblo 1.9 105 MJ Dynamic for my retired parents as it's ideal for them getting around the Isle of Wight and is the only thing my 70 year old mum has enjoyed driving since we got rid of her automatic 4.0 V8 Discovery! She also likes 44mpg versus 11mpg! :nutter:
Anyway, the reason for my post is this - is there any history of problems with the DPF on Doblos? I had the same 1.9 diesel engine in a Vectra (150bhp version) and the DPF was constantly blocking up and causing problems. Apparently it needs regular high-speed runs to clear it, something that is not easy on the IOW!
So I bought them the 105 as it doesn't have a DPF to save the hassle - I bet you're all going to tell me I could've bought the 120 as it's fine in the Doblo! Should've come here first I guess.
Drove the 105 and 120 back to back and could hardly tell the difference, so never mind! :chin:
