DPF and Emission control fault.

[FAST AL]

DPF light came on for the first time followed 5 mins later by the emission control system one.Tried driving in 5th at 60 mph admittedly only for 10 mins but lights have stayed on.
Should I take it back to dealers.? Still got over a years warranty left.

could be a faulty sensor. best to take it to dealer early. If it's a fault sensor that'll be warranty. if you leave it late and it turns out to be DPF and it clogs it could be a hefty bill.

AHH Man, That blows, Just when you were saying that your DPF had been fine.

I'm not going to preach to you about how you drive it cos I'm 99% sure it wil be a sensor problem under warrenty.

Keep us posted.

Had the same problem recently although my car also went into 'limp' mode so no alternative but to take it to the dealers. It was cured (so far) with a software upgrade via Seat Technical.

Same problem, booked in tomorrow

 

[FAST AL]

Any real idea's anyone before I take it in tomorrow.

 

[Marino]

I think most of these faults are just down to dodgy sensors...

 

[FAST AL]

Reckon you may be right.DPF SUCKS.

 

[Marino]

Costs a lot to get it removed though. May consider it though,

 

[FAST AL]

One less thing to fook up all the time.

If I knew what I know now my choice of cars would have to be different.Probably vw golf or older beamer.
Even though the looks of the leon are far better even the mk 1.IMHO.

Naa, just get rid of the DPF and enjoy 220ps. it will cost you more than a DPF delete to change your car.

 

[FAST AL]

How much roughly does the dpf delete cost?

 

[Marino]

I thought I saw someone post on here that the Delete and necessary re-map is around £1k
