Hi
I recently had done the diesel particle fuel additive added via bag to my C4GP (07) - it had the tank which the garage quoted me to fill then when they got the hands on the car they told me it was the bag system and said it would be another £100.
As it happened it was the tank - but I think the bag was easier for them and they told me it was the bag knowing it was the tank once they actually had the car ......what do you do - probably most of us wince a bit and say replace the bags. I wish I had a garage I felt comfortable with for sure.
Anyways .....a day before the fluid was going to be done the de-pollution system faulty came on. I hoped that upon the new fluid this would clear as I believe this particular warning can cover many aspects of the car.
Upon doing the fluid the garage (who I know don't trust) told me that the filter was 50% blocked but that it hadn't yet reached a level where it couldn't be cleared.
I should add at this point the car has been mainly been used for short runs in the last few months and I don't think this has helped.]
Driving home from the garage the de-pollution fault came on again ....I went for a long ish run .....it cleared .....and now intermittently comes on stays on for a bit then goes off.
This morning back on again although both times its beeped at me is when ive jumped on the motorway and going that bit faster which I'm assuming is just coincidence.
Could it be the DPF filter that requires cleaning?
Thanks Jo
