Looking for help with an issue on a Fiat Punto 1.3 Multijet (84ps Euro 5 engine). Car keeps throwing code p2002 which relates to a clogged DPF filter and this is coupled with a severe loss in power making the car undriveable and dangerous - difficult to maintain speed above 20 mph and it takes an age to get there.
I shelled out on an ELM 327 usb device and a copy of Multiecuscan which I was confident would give me the tools to solve the issue, it appears to work great and talks to the cars ecu just fine. The problem is: when I execute a forced regeneration the process ends within the first minute and states "completed" with the status of the DPF still showing as clogged. From what I understand the process is supposed to last 10 minutes or more. I must of done this 7 times already turning off the car for 15 seconds between each regen but the car is still drives the same and is throwing the same code. I'm running out of ideas other than to take the dpf off the car and clean it manually or replace with a new one. Any help would be much appreciated.
