I'm assuming motorway speeds are involved in this?

 

[Petecog79]

Yes mate

Got car back with a dpf reading of 0.4%, ash content of 60%, assured.all is well as the ash content is measured up to 175%, so its quater full, is this correct, also I was advised by the seat mastertech that, regens only actually work when u have at least a quater to over half full tank, something that isnt mentioned in the literature!

sounds about right for Seat....not telling you what you need to know!

 

[Petecog79]

Well,now they know I know more than them, my car is spot on, even washed, hoovered and topped up! Put it this way, nick the manager now knows who I am and the **** storm caused when I turn up, even changed my wiper blades lol, and brought mmy car back as I had his, to be honest after speaking to their tech im happy as he has just joined n seems to be ib rhe know

 

[Petecog79]

Hopefully all good now

 

[marty_34]

Fingers crossed mate, there a good car to drive, suppose you always got delete option as back up if it plays up again

 

[Petecog79]

Yeah ive enquired about that, £399 to delete and remove internals from sedox, is this price reasonable

 

[marty_34]

seems too cheap, big fish tuning at meant to be pretty good he's quoted me £500 including a remap. mines going to need to come off shortly I had the dpf light other night for the first time

 

[Jarre]

£399 is pretty good - I guess you only enquired for 'stage 0' dpf removal with no power remap?
A few people have been to sedox and rate them highly.

 

[Marshall]

Yeah I'm running Sedox software with dpf in place and happy.
Shnazzle is running a Sedox map with dpf removed and never had any problems.
I think if I ever have any dpf problems then removal would be the way forward and for £399 I know where I'd be going.

 

[shnazzle]

399s a fair price for just a DPF gutting and mapping out to be fair.

Sedox is GBP 40p/h, so that's 199 for the map and 200 for the gutting work I'd say. It is about 5hrs work. So again...399 makes sense.

No problem having the manual regen done, I used to have to do mine all the time myself after the injectors were changed (just posted about this in another thread actually lol). It's surprising how fast it can fill up again though. Also a bit scary looking at the difference in normal temperatures (~200'c) to the temperatures reached during a regen (>800'c)!

 

[Petecog79]

Done 15 miles n im having a fookin regen whats going on sick as **** now

 

[shnazzle]

That's another call to nick? Sounds like a dodgy d p f sensor or the d p f is goosed

 

[Petecog79]

Two more regens now, taking ages to complete another call it is to the dealers, apparentley sensor is fine?

 

[Jarre]

How long have you had the car? Do you not have grounds to reject it as its not fit for purpose, the car doesn't work properly.

 

[Petecog79]

Had it since january, im calling garage in morning as they assured me the dpf is fine, my wifes just mentioned it started its regen yesyerday and it didnt complete when she turned it off, maybe why its happened tonight, and ive had to turn it off again as im comin home from work and cant be arsed driving around. What do u think, take it for a long blast up motorway and then see how it goes?
