Hi,
It's a very very long story....to cut it short.
Error code 1206 DPF problem.
It's been going on for years and years. I've replaced loads of sensors, checked the pipes, spent hours looking at MultiEcuScan, done the forced regen when told to etc etc.
Clogging gets to about 103%. Engine failure light. Do the forced regen (clogging down to about 90%) and off on my travels.....until it gets to about 103% again.
The car has done 73k and I bought it with about 30k on the clock, 2 previous owners and some unknown history!! To start with it would go OK for a couple of years, but I'm sure it's now getting more frequent.
The only thing left to do is to replace the DPF, I've read that they can "wear out" from 20k onwards. But they shouldn't really need replacing before 100k or 70k at the earliest.
Is it likely that the DPF needs replacing, or is there another fix?
Great car but this problem is becoming a real pain!!
Any tips?
Cheers
Ron
