DPF temperature sensor fault

[Discofever]

Well here goes, I’ve fitted a new sensor, the one after the DPF, the fault code says sensor 13, I’ve fitted a new vaporiser unit, ran the engine up to temperature and filled the DPF with cleaner, I took it for a drive it like you’ve stole it with a Snap On reader plugged in. The DPF was 186% full when I started and after driving about 30 miles it went down to 42% so fingers crossed I’ve done it. The old vaporiser looked knackered and was properly blocked but that’s what you get when you’ve done 136k miles.

Hi

Which sensor is that?

I'll mention it to my garage on Monday.

My understanding of Discofevers problem is that is was the the glow plug within the vapouriser rather than the sensor. Fitting a new vaporiser sounds like it cured it. They can be cleaned if its not the glow plug bit.

The Snap On code reader said sensor 13 which is the one after the DPF and the vaporiser wasn’t doing what it’s supposed to do, £400 for both parts and all is now cured.
