Hi i have recently bought this car off someone i know, already knowing a few of the problems but this is a new one. the glow plug light has been flashing and i have continued to pop to the shop in it occasinally it comes in and out of limp mode but generally the glowplug light stays flashing most of the time..
all of a sudden after a few short journeys the dpf light came on which was the first iv ever seen or heard about it on this car. after about 5 miles in 2 different journeys it lost all power and cut out on me with a bit of smoke or steam from under the bonnet area. when i tried to restart it would fire and go to start but seem to cut itself out. after leaving it overnight before towing back home i tried again to start it bit was just turnimg over with no sign of firing until battery started to go. i have been waiting for a code reader to arrive and a battery booster which i have been meaning to buy.. i am just about to jabe a look to see if there is anything i can do personally or atleast diagnose a problem and go from there. i fear it seems quite bad news by the way it lost power and came to a stop and threw a bit of smoke out. soumds like a possible fully blocked dpf. just guessimg as this is the newest and first diesel i have had with dpf so i am completly new to the issues they suffer. any pointers from experience would be great i will let you know what i find when i try to crank it over to get the codes. thanks for reading lloyd
