Toyota DPF problems

[Rat Catcher]

For Ken really, I guess.

I was chatting with a man in a public house recently who's had nothing but expensive trouble with his Toyota DPF. During the conversation I recalled reading that VAG DPFs won't regenerate automatically - something they do quite frequently - unless there's more than 1/4 tank of diesel available. I've since double checked the service manual and that is correct. Now, I think I recall you (Ken) telling me that you never fill your tank, opting to minimise weight instead. Might be worth checking with a Toyota service manual or expert if Toyotas behave in a similar fashion...

The greens are buying your current car, valued at €7,350*, from you for €20,000. While that is undoubtedly a good deal it's not without consideration. In return you must buy yourself a brand new car of their choice for c.€35,003. When you buy yourself that car you undertake never to use it for your own personal needs outside of business and to keep it in public service for 3? years.... so if (God forbid) you have a crash or if the car suffers a fault requiring parts that aren't readily available or you get caught popping into Tesco for a pint of milk with your car in the car park they'll want their €20,000 back... and they'll keep the car you sold them! In short, the greens are making you spend €15,000+ on a car of their choice that you neither want nor need, the mean and nasty cunts!

On the other hand, Dr. Leo gave you €12,953 in 2020, €11,984.40 in 2021 and €2,899.60 in 2022*. That's €27,837 even after the cuts introduced by Meehaul, free gratis and for nothing ... to spend as you saw fit.

* assuming you got the same as me

Dr. Leo is great so he is... roll on COVID '20!

Happy to oblige... You're welcome!

Thanks Stephen, sorry fer late reply, only just seen this topic now.
You did indeed mention the same before a few years back and since then I have always kept my diesel tank at over 3/8 full as you suggested back then.

The final cost to me in ready notes fer my DPF filter replacement after trying various services and excluding time lost and transport to variuos services was a whooping 7.5K. (Long story).
It was just before Chrimbo that I paid the last 5K to Toyota fer a replacement DPF and it stung like a Bitch, I paid it and shrugged it off and forgot about it. I will never ever drive another Diesel car again.
