Hello guys, i`m a recent owner of a 2011 punto evo and i want to share with you my experience so far. Ive got the car for 6 months now.
So, lets begin :
Its a Punto Evo 2011 1.3 multijet 95hp (199b1000 engine) 2doors, i really like the looks of it, but unfortunately the tehnical problems could make me get rid of it
So, since i bought it :
- I noticed a slight chain rattle at start-up, so i replaced the timing chain at 125.000km
- Oil and filters also replaced at 125k
My exhaust getting black because of smoke got my attention, btw i was a mechanic so i saw a lot of VAG 2.0 tdi cr engines with well over 200k maintaining a clean exhaust, some even after 300.000 km
So i started logging the dpf regens, and all seem right, i get regens at around ~500kms they last under 10mins, differential pressures at idle after regen are below 5mbar.
I clean my exhaust tip and it gets black after around 300kms, and i noticed a slight combustion knock when engine cold (could be a injector).
At this point i was just like **** it, i will get used to it, maybe its how 1.3jtdm work although it didnt seem right.
At around 130.000km i started to notice decent black smoke when revving stationary so i decided to physically check my dpf aaaand surprise, my dpf is broken into pieces, this is what i saw from the bottom so probably from the top its molten. I cant understand why, i drive it daily 140kms on the highway
so cant say the dpf goes thru harsh conditions. :bang:
Next week i will remove the dpf and get a remap. i`ll keep you updated. Hope nothing else will go wrong
If you got similar experiences, share them with me here, so i dont feel alone
