If it's not one thing it's another, if it wasn't for my job I'd do without one and get a bicycle, just throwing good money after bad sometimes. Hope it's not a costly fix for you.

So a quick update, at this moment in time the van is running. Took it to a garage that I was confident they would find the issue and sort it out to then get a potential bill of £3000, £1400 for a new dpf as they said omissions were passing through it meaning it wasn't doing its job and around...

That's exactly why I'm not going back to him, £40 for a forced regen that didn't work and then suggests using can of cleaner like I was going to do, if you go to a garage you expect them to know more than you do to I fix the problem. Just dropped van off to another garage who I'm confident will...

Going to take some of your advice and pass it onto the garage, I've decided not to go with cleaning the dpf as it's not directly indicating that's it's the dpf but it's saying "risk of particle filter blockage. Just trying to diagnose the issue without having to take to the garage, The first...

Carmen, going to take some of your advice, decided not to go with cleaning the dpf as it's not directly indicating that's it's the dpf but it's saying risk of particle filter blockage. Garage will have a look, so I'll give an update later. Thanks all for advice so far .

It's got adblue..that's something else I don't know about, how do you know when it needs it... Thats just a separate query of course. So do you think I might be better if getting a deep clean as opposed to spraying a can of foam dpf cleaner into it..

So I took it to a garage, they forced a regen and it worked...for about 1mile, lights came back on and went into limp mode, now talking about cleaning the dpf with a can of dpf cleaner and take it from there, if anyone has any other suggestions? Was still considering cleaning it myself but need...

I'll definitely consider that, maybe best in the long run give it a deep clean, I'll try taking it for a good run to irst and see if it clears it, thanks for explaining..

carmanmemoranda: Can I ask why you say not to waste my money.

Mottie, I was just about to try as suggested on leaving at high revs while stationary, then read the following: you have a lot of heat but not much exhaust flow. This is called a drop to idle event and is one of the worst things a DPF can go through as it can cause localised hot spots on the...

Hi looking for some advice on dpf clean, this is a Peugeot partner 2018 that I just purchased, a warning light has came up for dpf and needs cleaned, looking to do it myself with a can of dpf cleaner, all I need is someone to confirm the location in the picture is where I unscrew and insert the...
