Hello all. Need a bit of advice, father in laws 1.3 multi jet doblo is having dpf issues, he has bought a new unit. Is it a DIY job to fit? Or do I need to plug in to a computer and tell the engine it has been changed?
Bit of back ground, he had dpf issues to the point where the car wouldn't start. We did an oil change and cleared the fault on the comp. few months later (last week) the car went into limp home mode. Went into the local garage where they changed the oil and cleared the fault (took the car out of limp home) but were unable to regenerate the dpf. He has now bought the new unit and asked me to fit it, is it a plug and play bit of kit or are there settings to alter in the ecu?
I am aware it is due to his style of driving, lots of stop start in town, even when on a good stretch he try's to stay below 50 to conserve fuel.
All and any advice would be most welcome.
