Leon FR TDI Recall

[Scottie2510]

Hello all,

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem I am.

Recently had the injectors changed on my car due to the recall seat published.

Since then been back twice to the garage as the car has now gained 5mpg roughly which would be a bonus but is also loosing power intermittently at varying speeds, gears and engine temp.

I'm not happy at all as all you get from the garage is no active fault codes and they can't replicate the fault. It's frustrating as hell as I love my FR but quickly falling out of love with it and Seat quickly. I've sent an email to seat customer services direct and awaiting a response but really interested to hear if anyone else is suffering.

Sounds like your DPF is getting blocked and doing regens

Thanks Andrew

To clean the dpf is it right you run it for at least 10 mins at 2500rpm?

 

[AndrewJB]

Yeh usually works

there's lots of reports of the new Injectors causing more DPF problems, i had the new injectors on my old PD170 they solved a smoke problem and gave me better MPG but i had full DPF removal

 

[Scottie2510]

Did you have to pay for the PDF removal?

Really don't fancy that as the dpf'sare expensive from what I understand

 

[AndrewJB]

Yes i paid for DPF Removal from two companies, i had a Milltek DPF delete pipe fitted

When i came to put the car back to standard i put the original DPF back on it

Had the injectors changed on my 2006 fr, the car has never been the same since! to the point of considering buying a new one. Dpf light at least once a month, exhaust gas pressure sensor changed, crankshaft position sensor changed, maybe just a coincidence?
