    I have owned my TTiD 180 since October 2017 and covered 12,000 miles since mostly motorway in all this time I have never seen a DPF message would that suggest that due to my driving mostly motorway it's doing a passive regen? Would I not see any evidence of it doing a regen? There is also the...

    Guys, This is my first foray into diesel ownership and the car I have has a history of DPF problems. It is pretty sluggish under 2k revs then the turbo kicks in with a rush. On the way home ( 275 miles on motorway ) it dropped into LHM a couple of times. I cancelled the codes on the move so...

    Hi folks, I've read Raj's post in the sticky regarding his DPF meltdown and wonder if my Dad's car is suffering the same thing. He mentioned he had a DPF full message come up a couple of weeks ago. I figured he's maybe just been doing short miles lately. He's currently away on holiday and has...

    To cut a long story short, I've been having nightmares with my 2008MY 150 bhp Vector Sportwagon. Two years ago had the DPF cleaned but it blocked again this year. Was told by cleaning company that it was burnt out. They sourced a 2nd hand original unit and cleaned this. This didn't work for more...

    Hi guys long story short i got my DPF deleted by a exhaust center and when i came back he said he drilled through the inside of the DPF and into the CAT as they are combined within the one unit. Now i am kinda worried that he drilled through the CAT section so I rang a well known Saab parts...

    Dont panic..I just wanted to get your attention..

    Hello, I've recently bought a 2006 9-5 TID Linear Sport Estate. I've had a quick flick through the manual and the spec cert that came with the car, is there any way I can know for certain if there's a DPF without crawling underneath? Thanks

    Hi Guys/Gals, After months of DPF (blocking) issues & limp mode, i finally lost patience & gutted it a couple of weeks ago (as italian tune up & manual opcom re-gen didn't resolve it) & yes, I know the legalities /MOT/ Environment pro's & cons ;) All is now well, apart from the re-gens when...
