2010 DPF light

[Bertie]

Hi all,


My diesel threw an engine management light a few weeks ago, coinciding with me noticing exhaust fumes in the cabin. I took it to my local Honda specialist (who I bought it from) and he diagnosed a split in the egr pipe and fixed it for very little. This fixed the exhaust smell, and it's been fine for the last couple of weeks.

However, today it produced a DPF light and went in to limp mode, so I guess this isn't an active regeneration.....oddly coincidental.

I've only had the vehicle a few weeks, and it does 90 miles a day, 70 to 80mph...

I'll take it back...but I'm guessing that the EGR valve and or DPF are likely clogged full of soot beyond repair?

Anyone got any good news/ideas?

Thanks

Chris

It wouldn't surprise me if the dealer cleaned the dpf prior to the sale as they don't do many miles before they clog up again.
Best bet is to have it removed and egr blanked and mapped out.
What mileage does it have?

Hi,
It's done 115k, of which I've done about 1300.
To be fair, the mechanic is a decent bloke, and he bought it to use himself from a customer about 12 months ago. He's used it for a daily driver and it's been pushed enough to keep clean I reckon. I approached him to purchase it from him rather than him selling it, and he's been very straight about the issues since I've had it.
He's going to have a look at it on Monday.
I can't remove the dpf....much as I'd love to!
Cross fingers! Thanks
