hi guys, im sick to the back teeth with the problems i've had caused by DPF. Had my brand new 1.6 tdi for 12 months now, and had the light come on 4 times. First time it came on for no reason, had to be reset. Second time they said it was a faulty sensor, third time it came on for bt 5 min then went off. Now it came on and i took it on an hours journey, bt 80 mile round trip, driving exactly the way i shud to regenerate it. But still the light was on.
So just had it in at the garage where i bought it, lookers, and they said there was no fault. They also said it was 85% saturated, yet i had no loss of power and no engine management light which is supposed to happen at 75% saturation.
Oy yeah then they billed me 95 quid for a forced regeneration, saying that the warranty doesnt cover it. Im thinking they are bullsh*ting me, because it say in their seat advice dpf leaflet you should only have to pay if the filter need replacing. Any thoughts?
