Had this exact fault on a Cmax diesel Jimmy. It was a pinhole in the hose between DPF and sensor. At that time, Ford sold sensor and pipes together

Hi Jimmy, I have a ford Kuga, and apparently the sensors are notorious for failing on these, they'll last about two years, I have recently fitted one to mine and it stopped the MIL lamp from coming on, IMO I'd deffo try a new sensor, ideally a new DPF as well, but as you said the lady could not afford that...

The previous garage has probably gutted it or drilled a hole thru it and haven't mapped it out. Or told ger that she now needs too go and get it mapped out and she hasnt or just didnt underatand. Happens alot

besides a cracked DPF or a hole drilled through the DPF, could it also be possible the metal line attached to the DPF has a rusted pinhole or small crack allowing only some of the pressure to escape. maybe shooting a little brake clean down the tube and looking for a small leak? remember that time you put DPFCleaner in a car, and it started coming out all over the place through bad welds.

Do you think the euro tab 3 is worth the money?

Worth tryibg a sensor and a clean. But, isnt it crazy how people spend 900pounds at a garage and no idea what they got for their money. She should go back snd ask for an explantion, copy of service info.. People but diesels tiinkibg its cheaper to run, then things like DPF, sensors and faulty EGR valves get clogged/sooted up.. nightmare

I wonder with the low reading off the dpf pressure using the manometer. If they have removed the guts of the dpf or drilled through and made a hole through the dpf

Must have had brain freeze. I never thought about that

If they did that... recoding computer is necessary to switch it off completely. BTW without DPF filter car might make some dark fart clouds under load.

Garage probably just did a forced regen. Possibly too many forced regens damaged dpf.

Could go down the rute of a used DPF but taking the chance of getting a duff one and fitting it all the labour and she has no money trouble with poeple running cars when they have no funds low maintenance also low malage for the year of the vehicle this gets my goat up my understanding of low mileage around 30 to 40k thats low mileage trouble is because i think these car sales men go around saying low milage 90 to 120k and advertise vehicles as being low mileage or low mileage for the year but 80 to 100 k is in no stretch of the imagination low on any car also cars that stand idle for years on end othere ware caristicstic come into playl

@timmehlittleloud22515 ай бұрын
Cmon. She knows. Seen loads of these. Sensors are crap on these. Little flexy b4 DPF are very prone to splitting. Tiny leak and differential pressure values are way off. Combine that with the quality of the original sensor and yr bang in trouble. DPF drilled maybe? Seen loads badly mapped because of this as well
