DPF problems.

[Belker]

That Smoke number is low for a car with DPF problems just a few weeks after the test .Did your Spanner Jockey ever say what caused your Turbo to give problems ?you said your oil was 3/4 full thats a lot of lost oil it has to go somewhere  it might be effecting your turbo and clogging the DPF .

I put half a litre of oil in it yesterday to top it up and haven't had to put oil in to it in about 4 weeks prior to that. The spanner jockey who did the DPF clean last year I don't trust at all, but he was charging 600 fer a full clean while Toyota were looking fer 2.5k fer a DPF replacement, I talked it all through with my own regular mechanic and he agreed it seemed the best option at the time.

If you need genuine Toyota parts let me know, as my cuz is in the parts dept. 20% off usually.

I think I paid 700 or 800 for a brand new DPF a couple of years ago.

Next time I will just take it out and get the car remapped. why waste money putting in a new DPF??

I passed my NCT on emissions last week, first time in years. couldnt believe it.

Be very careful doing that, I have heard differing reports of it failing and passing NCT with the DPF out.

Thanks SB, I'm only putting off the enevitable in reality, some day soon I will have to fork out the 2.5k to Toyota fer a new one.

I have tried that and most everything else aswell, keeps the light off fer a month or so and then it's back on again.

is the light still on?

Yes, still on.
I did 8 hours last evening/night which were mostly city concert jobs around town, I thought the last job to Cobh and back might clear it but it didn't.

I thought you said that you replaced your DPF fer 700 or 800 Euro with a new one a couple of years ago and next time you will take it out ??
And now your telling us that you took out the DPF 2 years ago ??

I replaced the DPF 3 years ago but was advised to take it out 1 year later which I did.

next time I have DPF problems, it will be coming out, I wont bother buying a new one.

... I told him months ago ... .. the engine is prematurely
Worn because of poor maintenance ....ie
prolonged  oil change  schedules, or wrong oil ( cheap shit from lidls or  running with  low oil level .... ..

I heard your pox opinion Octy the last time I posted about DPF problems with you accusing me of being too stupid to check my oil and too miserable to put proper oil in to the car but instead getting it cheaper from Lidl/Aldi because I was a skinflint, similar to what you now post.

Thanks to your absurd input and your side-kick Horse joining in to help the last time, that topic died a death and I never got the advice I required, so you might be so good as to keep your poxy beak out of this one and to use your own quote;

Now go and fuck off and don't contact me again

Yes, still on.
I did 8 hours last Tues evening/night which were mostly city concert jobs around town, I thought the last job to Cobh and back might clear it but it didn't.

DPF light went off last night after 4 hours of evening suburban driving, the tank was still half full but I topped it up anyway and the light went off an hour later.
I know I'm only delaying the inevitable 2.5k Toyota bill fer a new DPF, but the longer I can keep it going the more likely the next one will make it to license end in Feb 2027.
