The engine wont be under load so unlikely to work as it wont get hot enough.

Hi All, Can ***ume the DPF got fixed, so if anyone wants a well-looked after Accord Type-S; Here she is: http://usedcars.cloverleaf-honda.co.uk/showroom/Accord/2.2i-DTEC-Type-S/Berkshire/2420818-602417969-3037330.aspx?srcmdc=se_ce_re_ :D

Definately. It's a great car for the money. I would say it's on par with the 5 series / A6 for size (A6 is a definate as put the two side by side when looking at an A6). Toys wise; not sure what the version your looking at has, but the Type-S was fully loaded, but that aside, it was very comfy...

I would, but it's not my car anymore ;) Chopped it in over the weekend...

I know where there is a fully loaded 2009 '09' Type-S going...Will be about £15k I think... Trouble is, it's off the road at the moment waiting for a part from Honda :rolleyes:

Yep, Was a saloon. I would ask yourself do you need to take everything + the kitchen sink with you? Depends how long you're going away for I suppose; but things like high chair could be hired at your destination or look at some of the smaller ones which clip over existing chairs. Should add...

John, My Accord had suffered a total DPF failure and is still awaiting a replacement DPF. In all the miles I've done (35k); I've never once seen the message come on saying a regen is needed; only the message when it's too late and in limp mode. I dont know if this is related to a recent...

Having a kid was one of the reasons why I got my Type-S; it had more than enough space for the three of us all the way up to last week when it went. It's been to Disneyland Paris and also rural France on a couple of occasions and always had enough room for him, luggage, buggy, travel cot, our...

Yep. To be fair I was considering changing before the woes; this just sped up my decision...2 Honda's later and onto Audi now...

She's the 170 version...What can you do ;)

Here's a couple of the advert... She's approx 4 months old and has done 150miles... Cant wait :D

I had something similar in that it was speed related. It sounded like a wheel bearing, but turned out to be stepped tyres on the rear.

Well, replacement DPF has now been pushed back to the 9th March. Still in a hire car courtasy of HUK (Insignia...Yuk!). That said, she's gone tomorrow. Really enjoyed my time with her, good car for the money in terms of price, spec, etc, but time to move on. If anyone is looking for a Basque...

Salim, Once the warning is displayed, no amount of driving will clear it. I did 50 miles @ 3k RPM in 4th to try... Has to be a forced regen.

Rob, Just ensure you do a good blast up the motorway at least once a week. I've had a total DPF failure (Dealer is now telling me it wont regenerate for the 3rd forced regen). I'm still waiting for a replacement DPF and it's now on an ETA of W/C 9th March. Interesting, I believe the manual...

Going for a new Audi A5 Sportback S-Line TDi 170... :D

Quick update - still no progress, but on the flip side, the car is going. Done a deal today on a new car, so if anyone wants a '09' plate Type-S cheap, drop me a PM.

OK. Quick update. Spoke to the dealer yesterday; Service Manager (SM) wanted to do another regen and send me on my way; myself and the techie said otherwise, needs a new DPF as this is the third time in as many weeks it's gone. SM spoke to Honda UK about a loan car for the day whilst a...

Thx Saj; my daily commute is 70 miles round trip of which 70% is either motorway or d/c. On my trips this week, avg to Leeds & back was 44, week before was 36 & 39...deffo not right!!

Also been keeping an eye on my fuel usage which isn't that good really... http://www.spritmonitor.de/en/detail/383332.html Out of interest, what does everyone else average?
