CEL is on, DPF comes on way to often in my opinion. I run interstate 25 miles to work. If i drive in town for 5 or 10 minutes, the regen starts, if I don't get to the interstate in the next couple startups, the light is on and i'm having to wait until my trip home or the next days trip up to work for the light to go off.
I have read a plethora of threads regarding the DPF, options to delete, replace, or ignore.
What is the best route and has anything come to light as far as servicing this or getting the ash out in any way? This car has 280k and has been 90% interstate commute, so it really should not have clogged terribly considering most of the rpm's were above 2k during it's life. THis car has a history of repairs and services including an emissions conversion, 2 exhaust manifolds, a couple exhaust flaps, EGR, and a couple other things over the years. Inside is in mint condition, there's some rust on one front wheel well that I am not worried about, otherwise a well maintained car. I am hoping to get another 100k out of her!
Thanks in advance! I am going to obdII to see what the CEL is. I am fairly certain it may pertain to the DPF, car runs great and still gets 42mpg.
Timing belt was done at 80k, it now has 280k so you could say it's on borrowed time already. My first job in the garage next week will be the TB package.
