DaveAngel, Yes I too would've used Fahad but 350 miles is a little far. Fahad, I'm using a company called DPF Doctor, I originally contacted when the red light came on a few months ago, he immediately suggested that due to the mileage and the situation that removing was the best option, he...

I'm thinking in terms of if there is an emergency and I need to use the car for a short trip, I understand this will clog the DPF up further, just curious to know how clogged the DPF is when limp mode comes on and how much driving it will take to kill the car completely.

Hi all, I'm waiting for my DPF to be removed, I'm still using the car for short journeys in limp mode, but in all seriousness how many miles would I be able to do in this state before doing damage? It was supposed to be removed yesterday but it's been delayed and I'm anxious about whether I...

It’s an easy choice for me, bin the DPF for £300 or pay 2.5k to replace it. If it fails an MOT in the future I’ll just bin it or sell it off cheap. Good to hear they may not enforce this check on older diesels though, the garage I spoke to said a lot of people remove them, particularly from...

My local mechanic does removals, and I've been ***ured that there will be no issues with the NOT.

DPF light is back on after 700 miles, interestingly this is the second time in a row it's come on during high revs (4500+). I'm seriously considering removal now, but what are the chances of getting caught, failing MOTs etc.?

Well I need to make a decision really, my journeys are not really suited to a diesal so really I want to trade it in for a petrol. Feels like options are: - Genuine replacement (expensive) - Aftermarket replacement (will this even buy any time?) - Clean? Feel like I just want to trade this...

So are you saying new DPF? I’m guessing it would need to be a genuine replacement? Or are there other options? I can’t have it removed as it’s required for the MOT.

So even though Honda diagnosed a faulty AC which has now been repaired, there could be another issue? Could they not have diagnosed that at the same time? I’m also guessing that the light will come back on when it needs to regen again?

I meant forced regen, so they connect up a computer and regen while stationary, this is necessary when the light with the exclamation mark comes on the dashboard. You can’t drive it to regen when this light is on.

Honda accord 2009 2.2 Hi all, hope some can help make sense of these cryptic cars! DPF light came on and car went into limp mode, took it to garage and they said no fault codes and it wouldn’t regenerate. Took it to Honda who checked and said AC compressor had gone, bought compressor and...
