What year is your van. Did you replace dpf with genuine ford part?.

[kevcarpman]

van is a 2013 replaced it with one from cats for you so not a genuine ford one

[sav101]

I had the same problems with my 2012 connect and i was told that euro 5 engines and newer need genuine ford dpf's. The guy i used said if i used a non genuine one it would clear for a while and come come back, like the problem youve now got. Maybe he was right?

[kevcarpman]

yeah I understand what you are saying but surely not that quick I only done approx. 60 mile and same problem come back what did you end up doing to solve your problem

[sav101]

I had a egr and dpf delete done on the ecu and dpf insides removed.

[kevcarpman]

hi and did this solve your problem may i ask why you wiped egr out of ecu, i am thinking of getting mine re mapped and wipeing dpf out of ecu would you recomend i wipe egr out at same time cheers

[kevcarpman]

i forgot to ask if you dont mind me asking how much did it cost you to get ecu remapped cheers

[sav101]

I had egr and dpf delete plus stage 1 remap and the dpf emptied for £320. Which i thought was a good price, i had been having trouble with the egr for ages aswell and it cured all my problems in one go. I had it done at Maxtream in Wisbech, they know there stuff there. http://www.maxtreme.co.uk/

It will cost you a lot more now if you get pulled over for road side emission check - (NOT A STANDARD DIESEL SMOKE TEST )

As from 1st August 2017 - DPF deletes EGR valves removed or tampered with ie blanking plates & DPF/EGR mapped out.
Will result in DVDA giving you 10 days to have fault/Defect corrected. If you don't, fine will be issued & your vehicle BANNED from being used on the road
