Re: blocked diesel particulate filter

Well I got the car back 2 weeks ago and they reckon a new dpf did the job. I have since put 3000ks on it and it seems to be going as good as before. The fuel economy has stayed the same as just prior to the blocking which seems strange as i would presume it should have gotten a touch better. Ford ...

Re: blocked diesel particulate filter

Vw dave This car spends 99% of its life on the Highway doing 110 kph. That is why I could not believe it was clogged up. If I lived in a city I could understand.

Re: blocked diesel particulate filter

01lux that is an interesting point about a data reset. I have no idea whether he has been doing these. Another factor we thought of is that I hit a roo 3 months ago and the under tray(big piece of plastic) broke of as well as minor damage to front bumper. With the under tray gone it is possible that ...

Re: blocked diesel particulate filter

Thanks all for your views on this subject. After many phone calls and bitching apparently Ford is going to come to the party and replace\ fix this problem for free. It will still be interesting to see whether it will happen again and what the actual problem was. Just to clarify the proper Ford ...

Re: blocked diesel particulate filter

Sierra jim. I have taken it to Ford and they have done the manual regeneration but this failed. I am starting to think that the sensor is faulty as just prior to the engine light coming on I was pulling full power and cruising on 120 kph.

Re: blocked diesel particulate filter

my mechanic has used the proper low ash oil the whole life of the car. I can not tell you what the pressure drop over the filter is. I am going to make sure that it is not a faulty sensor first as the car was running perfect prior to the engine light coming on. You would think that if the filter was ...

blocked diesel particulate filter

Has anyone on here heard of this problem on new diesel cars. I have a 2009 ford fiesta turbo diesel with 70000 ks on it and ford are trying to charge me $2000 to fit a new dpf and reckon it's not covered under warranty. Sorry if this has been covered else where on this site

Thanks for that Scott. It is a 94 paj. I was just looking at some rims and tyres off ebay that came off a patrol but they couldn't tell me what offset. When you say negative offset does this mean that the wheels will hang outside the guards or does it mean they will go inwards and foul on suspension ...

rim offset

Hi all. Just wondering what the best offset rims are to fit 33x12.5x15 under a 2 inch lifted paj. Will solid axle rims off a patrol or landcruiser do the job at all.

lifting a series 2 pajero

sorry if this a dumb question. how hard is it to fit 2'' bodylift. are r there any major issues to look out for. Also how much lift can I acheive by winding up standard torsion bars. Will 33x10.5 fit if I don't do the bodylift
