Diesel Particulate Filter

[bednobs]

car has gone into limp mode because DPF needs changing - does that have to be a special garage or can anyone do it?

Would think most garages carry that out now. Have you tried a good blast down the motorway for a few mile to help burn it off.

[bednobs]

it's in limp mode, so can't

[bednobs]

it yellow lighted previously and was blasted on the M/W a few times, but then it redlighted and went into limp mode

[teacake44]

OK, not much else you can do, but shell out I'm afraid, Unless anyone else comes along with advanced knowledge of getting round it.

Perhaps worth risking £10 on this before you commit yourself to an expensive replacement.

New DPFs are very expensive. Your garage may be able to carry out a regeneration without removing the filter from the car. This involves getting the car out of limp mode.
