New injectors, DPF problems

[Sweetchuck]

I know this has been touched upon elsewhere, but wanted to see if we could generate some evidence about DPF issues after the replacement of faulty fuel injectors.

If you have had a problem, please could you post the details, including any resolution, below.

If we group everything together, we will at least have some evidence which can be presented to dealers or SEAT UK.

Since the injector replacement, my DPF light has come on 6 times in 5 weeks. Previous to this, I have done the same daily commute for more than 3 years without the light coming on once. The car seems to have issues manually regenerating and it seems that the new parts are incompatible with the existing system.

Dealer says this is not a common issue and as long as light goes off, car is operating well. Surely this can't be right! I have been fortunate that I have so far had a clear road to clear the fault, but am not confident this will always be the case.

Cheers

Very common this is one of the reasons why I cut my DPF off, absolute nightmare after injector replacement light on every week.

Now I do not have this problem lol

I am having the exact same problem!!! DPF light has Been on 3 times since they replaced my injectors about 8 weeks ago!! Told them I've not changed the way I drive or changed my journeys yet it keeps coming on!! All I get told is at least its working like what you said above mad the regen works!

Happened again last night! Driving me mental, just waiting for it to go into limp mode now and all the fun and games that would entail...

Dealer hinted it could be DPF on the way out. At 65k miles, they can do one if they think I'm having it replaced!

I don't have the leon anymore but I had similar problems after having the injectors replaced.

Mine did it after the injectors being replaced for a couple of weeks with the light coming on but then went alright but was doing regens all the time. The dpf is gone now. Best thing too.

I don't want to jinx it, but not seen my DPF light in the whole 20,000 miles and 1y15mths I have owned the car. The injectors have now been in 16k, car runs same as before with lumpy DPF regens.
