I don't know a lot about engines so any help on this would be appreciated.
The story so far, my 171 avensis 'DPF full' light came on last Feb and I had it cleaned by JD motors fer 600 Euro.
4 months later the same light came on intermittently at weekends but went off again after a few hours and has been on-going fer the last 3 months.
-
Eventually I brought it back to JD motors who checked the car last week and said that it had needed 3 litres of oil and as it was burning that much oil it is prob a Turbo problem ??
So seemingly the next step is to bring the car back to them tomorrow and they will send the turbo off to be checked and he added that it might need a re-conditioned engine costing 2.5k.
-
Three liters of oil.....the fukkin thing only takes 6.
You might be better off driving a rental Belker and let someone else take the pain.Your repair bills are in Frank Spencer territory.You could be looking at 4/5k on repairs.
Think carefully whether you wanna spend all that money on same car when you could buy something else like a Prius for a few grand extra.
-
Thanks MFH, but my Avensis will be staying on the road till 2027 regardless of the cost.
I just don't wanna be led up the garden path by yer man who seemingly cleaned the DPF fer 600 notes only fer the DPF light to show again 3 months later.
I contacted my own mechanic whom I trust 100% and he said that so far yer man in JD motors is correct about the turbo issue. I'm OK with that, it's the 2.5k fer the maybe reconditioned engine that troubles me.
-
"Regardless off cost".....that sounds like something the crypto lads say when they're losing money..it's not rational for a business owner to say that.
You must not have been checking the oil levels to lose so much oil.For a bloke even with your limited mechanical knowledge that should be a weekly event.The type of oil you use is critical to the longevity if your engine ,turbo and dpf.
DPFs will keep clogging up even without any other mechanical failure.The DPF is like a hoover bag on your exhaust that can't be opened easily.Diesels aren't meant to be kept in town at low speeds.
I gaurantee you will be back in the same position in a year or two.It's the wrong vehicle for the work you do around town.
I dunno why you ask for advice if you never take it.

I had DPF trouble with my taxi. had to put a brand new DPF into the car, 700 or 800 it cost. then id say a year later I was driving and the cars fan was in overdrive, the power wasn't there at all. My mechanic said it needed to be remapped. got that done, cost 300 I think. that was 2 and a half years ago, no problems since, except I never pass the emissions test, not sure if that is linked to getting the car remapped.
-
Thanks 1990, what do you drive ?
And how do you manage to pass NCT with emission problems ?
-
..... I gaurantee you will be back in the same position in a year or two.It's the wrong vehicle for the work you do around town.....
I'm a night driver, I don't do that around town traffic thing at all.

I've discovered a bit of an oddity with VAG DPF diagnostics. In fact it was last time you mentioned your DPF problems that prompted me to research what the figures in the diagnostics read out mean. There's one set that'll tell you about soot which seems straightforwatd enough... how full it is, when it last regenerated, when it'll next regenerate, etc... then there's another about ash. The ash is produced when the soot is regenerated (burnt) and it's the ash volume that dictates when the DPF is fucked. However, here's the oddity... the % full figure is calculated not measured so the cars are essentially programmed to render the DPF useless at a predetermined kilometreage (c.360,000 kilos in my case). Not sure what I'll do (if anything) if I still have the motor at that stage but it is possible to reset the ash level to zero so provided the yoke is working and not excessively regenerating I guess that'd be the way to go.
I guess a useful bye product of the way they're programmed is the ability to verify a vehicle's mileage. In fact I did just that when my brother was shopping for a used Audi. We looked at a few and in each case I could calculate that the DPF fill level was consistent with the oddometer kilometreage to within a few hundred kilos.
-
There are too many holes in your story Belker.Someoe isn't doing maintenance somewhere.I'd be afraid to leave ya in charge of a shopping trolley.Thankfully the Freenow bonus system will cover all the damage to yer vehicle that happened while you were chasing imaginary medals.I'm done here.

Thanks Steven, very informative and fer once I actually understood most of it.

I thought you said you were 'DONE' ??

Yer man in JD motors just rang back, now he reckons it needs a new turbo and is gonna ring me back on the price of it within an hour. Seems better than a 2.5k reconditioned engine ??

relax the cacks. school's in session.
you're lucky you have the new avensis that tells ye "DPF full" on the instrument panel. my aulwan has the same avensis as yours and she does tell me "the car is sayin DIV full again what does that mean". the new avensis does'nt even go inta limp mode like the T27 model that i had. you were notified by a full dpf by virtue of a myriad of 6 or 7 warnin lights. i remember the first time it happenned and the car lost all power. i was brickin it. obviously i did'nt know what was happennin or what a DPF was.
Diesel is a dirty burnin fuel. A DPF absorbs all the soot and carbon like a sponge that otherwise would get belched out the exhaust in plooms of black smoke like the old school diesel lorrys. Problem is the DPF gets full. The way to empty it is to blast a lot of heat through it. Dipetane is great stuff. It works my raising the octane number of the fuel which means you get a more efficient burn of the fuel. more efficient burn means more power, more heat created, less oppurtunity for soot to build up in it.
how i remedy my aulwan's DPF full or any DPF full car;
1. Wait till the tank is nearly empty
2. Grab the fuckin car keys off her and go to the petrol station
3. Throw a full bottle of Dipetane in
4. Fill tank to about a quarter full on top of the Dipetane to make sure it mixes well and you get a strong concoction of souped up Dipetane/fuel
5. Floor it up and down the motorway in a loop holding the revs at 2500rpm to create maximum heat for the soot in the DPF to turn to ash and empty out.
6. Process can take anywhere from 30 mins to an hour dependin how full the DPF is.
7. DPF full message will automatically dissappear
8. It's advisable to do an oil change afterwards because holding the engine at 2500rpm for such an extended time will riddle the oil.
9. To keep the DPF in good order add a little bit of Dipetane at every fill up and every once in a while on the motorway gun the car at 2500rpm for 10 minutes or so.
Mechanics simulate this by doing a "forced regeneration" of the DPF. They'll connect a computer and rev the car at 2500rpm in the garage for 30 mins but the engine ideally hasta be working very hard (up a hill with 4 yanks on board) to speed the process along. If that does'nt work they'll connect a hose to the DPF and wash out the soot and build up carbon. If you get a pain in your nuts with the DPF keep gettin full you can have it removed. pricey though because they're usually buried behind the engine. once they're gone you'll get a strong fume smell out the exhaust which can be remedied by using Dipetane at every fill up.

Yea but he's rite Ken.....
Yu probly never dip yur oil or sumtin ...its only a new car isny ?
Yur engine is probly bollixed aswell drivin round wit 3 liters oil .....them turbo tingys start goin wit droppin oil pressure
Buy a prius ....diesel is dead fuk sake wat wer ya tinkin buyin a new antique ::) ???

Was just gonna post that years ago with my old diesel Octavia (2007 so no dpf), I got a secondhand turbo instead of a secondhand engine. Can't remember the cost but i think it was around the €700 mark. Might even have come with a 6 month warranty. But my mechanic was a bit skeptical and he was just humouring me with the turbo replacement and basically was of the opinion that the car was fukked anyways. Kept going for another few years so it all worked out.
-
Kenneth how many 10 hour shifts non stop do you do .your engine oli is burned .Doing city driving non stop like we do 10,000 Km between oil changes would save a lot of problems .Huge difference between a Sales rep on a motorway and urban driving .Especially in a Manuel .You often see a plume of black from some dodgey diesels when the driver changes gear .
-
Kenneth .ask around or go to your local Motor ELECTRICIAN not Garage .Get him to run a diagnosis on it ,You are reporting three diagnosis .Fucked Turbo ,Fucked DPS and Knackered engine .Fixing one of them might fix it for a few weeks Mechanic wont give a fuck .Before you part with coin go get a different Professional opinion .
I throw a bottle of this in twice a year ..https://www.google.com/search?q=liqui+moly+diesel+purge&rlz=1C1CHBF_enIE1026IE1026&oq=liqui+moli+diesel&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i10i512l9.17050j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 (https://www.google.com/search?q=liqui+moly+diesel+purge&rlz=1C1CHBF_enIE1026IE1026&oq=liqui+moli+diesel&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i10i512l9.17050j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)

Kenneth if it is a problem turbo that is causing the problem fixing that wont fix the blocked DPF just prevent it in the future .The Auto Electricians seem to have better Diagnosis tools show up all the faults .Also by going to an Auto Electrician he wont spoof ya as he isint looking for mechanical work .Cost you about 50 for a full diagnosis and printout 20 for a quick Yer Fucked there Boy job diagnosis .Money well spent before the spanner Monkies get loose at it .

Infrequent oil change or cheap shitty oil I rekon oops
-
I couldn't get me head around the numbers for these repairs.2500 for fuks sake for a turbo.My car was only 6000.
Then the DPF will likely need more work.Another 600.
Then the engine was running half full of oil.He might have gotten lucky if it was a Toyota engine but I believe it's a BMW unit.Hope he gets out on the cheap side.

Occi I am just back from the Bookies .My bet A General election this year in Ireland @66/1 .Last night Marc Mc Sharry quit FF .Now the Maths we have a Minority government .If Mc Sharry and the Two X Greens vote against Leo for Taoiseach then its Game over the Country has no Taoiseach .You are aware that the date of the handover has been moved ?The Sums if the Three Bandits vote Against then the Technical Group do not have enough votes to elect Leo .I am hearing that Costello and Hourigan want the Mercisore deal vote suspended while Leo is Taoiseach if not they wont support him .
The Sooner the Greens and their Car hating nonsence is ousted the better for the Country and Environment .Its fuckology like this parking proposal that makes you realize they are Zealots .The Bike loving City Manager got a 20k wage increase last week while workers in Liffey Valley were charged to park to go to work .

Seriously Ken go to your local Auto Electrician they have top of the range Diagnostic software .You said your DPF was faulty .It could be caused by the Turbo but if you fix the Turbo how will that fix the DPF .Get a full printout of the Faults .I got caught with Satins Wheelbarrow for coin that didnt need to be spent Mechanics fixint stuff then scratching their heads when you bring it back a few ton lighter telling me I thought that was the Problem .Did the Garage show you a Printout of the Actual Turbo fault or was it tyre kicking guess work .50 Quid to your Local Auto Electrician for a Full printout of Faults is money well spent .Turbo problems usually have a Cause they are a Symptom of something else .For 50 I would get a second opinion .

Ken .....I know fuk all bout cars ...an I don't want to know either but anytime I changed a turbo the engine was bollixed an blew up soon after ....you don't have the millage up on yur car yet for yuer turbo to go prematurely especiallyon a toyota ...its usually a sign of bad engine oil pressure..that was caused by by yur oil either low or wrong oil or not changed .....yur turbo is is flying around at gazillion Miles a minute an it's furthest from yur oil pump an shiitty oil or low oil pressure or wrong oil will destroy it .....wen it starts to wear the oil gets blown or sucked inta yur combustion chambers tingys an burns an that'll fuk up yur dpf filter ide imagine cause oil soot particles tingys are bigger than diesel sooty particles tings an they stinky cnuts ... ide say yuv bean drivin that ting round wit smoke comin out of its arse for ages ...

No noticeable smoke coming out of the exhaust.
Car is alwaus serviced about 100km befrore it's due and enigine oil level is checkd frequently.
I always get my oil at the same garage because they have a chart to show which is the correct oil fer the car.
John M's idea seems the best and I would have done that if I had seen it in time.
But it's booked in now fer a new turbo and a Monkee deposit paid on it so I will stick with that plan.
-
Sounds like a heap if shite Belker, have you considered going hybrid?.Your chances of the DPF being bollixed are very high even with a new turbo.That three liters of oil had to get out somewhere.
Start shipping for a new car if I was you.

I'm not sure I'd agree with the erm's advice. We both owned MKII diesel Octys. Mine is still as good as new whereas the erm got rid of his having spent years referring to it as Satan's Wheelbarrow. Mine has never had anything other than diesel in the fuel tank and has it's oil changed every 20,000 kilos which is a little ahead of manufacturer specifications (on variable service it'd go somewhere between 25,472 kilos and 30,000 kilos before asking for an oil change). The important thing is to follow manufacturer specifications for both time/distance between oil changes and oil specification. 92% of engine wear / oil deterioration occurs when the engine is cold. I doubt your engine ever cools down, Ken!
I would agree with checking the oil level periodically. I check mine on the first weekend of every month. The MKII (with over 360,000 kilos and only 1 clutch change) is good as gold and never consumes oil. The MKIII, on the other hand, tends to need half a litre or thereabouts every second or third month. I believe the oil consumption is normal for that particular engine, being caused by periodic automatic DPF regenerations. Anyway, don't rely on the light to tell you if/when a top up is required. They tend to go well below the min level before the light comes into play so get into the habit of checking it regularly (whether through diagnostics interrogation, through the infotainment system or with the dipstick)... along with topping up screen wash and having a quick glance at brake fluid and coolant levels and check the condition of your tyres. In fact most of that is covered in Lesson 1 of RSAs Essential Driver Training course. As a qualified and registered ADI I would be happy to book you in for a lesson, if required.

Hi Steve My advice to Kenneth was to get a full diagnosis before fixing the Turbo I suggested going to his local Auto Electrician who usually have good diagnostic tools .Get a full print out of faults .Kenneth had three different problems and solutions offered by his Spanner Monkey .Turbo DPF and possible engine replacement .Auto Electrician wont be trying to sell him mechanical services .50 spent on a full diagnosis might be money well spent .

Where can you get full diagnosis for 50 john? I thought its over 90 or something. Suggest good auto electricians in Dublin

The BEST is the lad on the Cromwellsfort Road in Walkinstown facing the Chipper .Noel Byrne just off St Peters Road across from the Garage is good as well But the lad on Cromwells is the Best .ALMAX .

I was thinking that too.
Oil and water checked at start of each month and always the correct oil used.

Monthly oil checks are honestly just careless Belker.Bloke like you with your mileage and prior history of fukking up engines should be checking it weekly.This is your business.Unless you up yer game yer gonna keep ruining engines.Ya should change the thread title to owner driver doesn't give a bollox about his engine.
When ya say correct oil what exactly do you mean?Ya know there are multiple grades of engine oil and different weights depending on the manufacturer.

Yeah I think the last Avensis he had got a couple of rebuilds.I remember something to do with over filling the oil.Can't remember exactly the threads.

I'll still be driving my heap after you've moved on to the next car Belker.Costs fuk all to keep an eye on the oil.Basic stuff for a professional driver.
I'd be reluctant to put a turbo in it unless you know your problem is gonna be solved.
I'm curious as to why you brought it in to the mechanic in the first place, Just the DPF light?Was it running like shit or something?

If I owned Belkers heap I'd be so annoyed that it's costing so much.That thing is gonna turn into a money pit.The oul Avensis haven't been as reliable since they stopped coming in with petrol engines.
If he trades it now he might get something for it and the fuel savings from the hybrid over the next few years would pay for the cost of the upgraded motor.

I’d patch it up and trade it in for a hybrid Corolla, great motors by all accounts.

There is a flood relief scheme in place by the office of public works, I have seen the plans in detail and they are brilliant, but a lot of PC do-gooders objected to having our old crumbling falling down quay walls restored.
