Yes I am, generally like the car for the day as don't like to be rushed as everything has to be right, unsure if I can post in here as don't want to be banned / suspended or what ever for advertising
You sure it's not the actuator. You can by a repeat kit and don't have to replace the full turbo. Symptoms would be black smoke, limp mode and for got the dtc code, a blocked DPF can damage turbo, why you should keep driving on a constant DPF light or error code
sorry for the blunt replies alcohol doesnt help. if the actuator isnt opening the gate for the exhaust gasses to escape etc its possible too, mine went but i had removed my dpf , car black smoked like mad, think theres even a pic in my build
Yeah the garage said faulty turbo actuator. So car in garage they said there sending it off to a specialist to clean. He said dint worry after this is done the car will run like new. I already had the dpf cleaned & dpf sensor done but lights came on engine light & limp mode a few days later. The dpf has not come on since. They said also need a throttle something. Also my back beaks are squeaking so need back break calipers and pads etc. So this gonna be expensive I think altogether.
You can't clean actuator to repair it, you have to replace it, lucky there is a repair kit and it just I bolts with 3 10mm bolts, it's the diaphram that fails and doesn't open it so the rod barely moves, it's £115 from TPS for the part
Forget all that, realised you mean you have sticky vains and a PD engine pre facelift Leon. Cleaning the DPF won't last long either, these are just a time bomb and are a head ache a removal is a must on pre facelift
I had the same issue, dpf light, coil light (glow plug light) and engine light on.... got a forced regeneration by a local garage, took him 30mins on the local dual carriageway with the computer plugged in and it was all sorted for 25quid plus vat... bargain, now to get my dpf smashed out and mapped at dtm tuning in Doncaster.
Already had dpf cleaned & new sensor. Fixed the dpf light. But engine light kept coming on every time I floored it. Lost boost turn key off & on error repeating.
