Thanks to Stan for posting it recently on a similar thead. Doesn't seem to me that anything needs to be plugged in. But you will need to plug something in to get rid of the RED warning and reset the limp mode.

You can buy DPF cleaners that are put into it with the exhaust on the car attached by removing the DPF sensor. From memory it was two solutions and one to clean it out before starting the car and trying to force regen it.

I would start with that first before anything else. Once that is done, then look at some live data to see if there is anything that may not be quite correct that could have caused the issue. If you have done nothing but short start/stop town driving then that will cause it to fill up a lot quicker than others.

cheers and good luck! Alex

Having seen your new thread, are there any updates to this thread?
i.e.; did you replace the full system in one piece, as per original, or did you have to cut the pipe and repair with sleeves? G reg 2.5VM Vogue Portofino red 1991- 1999

Hi -

Yeah I was going to update this thread once the saga was completed. (not quite there yet).
In the end I read enough various web sites to discourage me from sending the DPF to a "cleaners" so I dug deep in my pockets and paid for a new one (Thank you Dan @ duckworth parts).

Still a few things to sort out but yeah, the new DPF supplied is a subsection of the full system on the car so you have to be brave and make 3 cuts into the existing system and use sleeves to join up with the new part.

I'll do a full write up / lessons learned as a separate thread once the job is done.

cheers.
