Hi all,
My Mazda 6 2008 57-plate 2.0 Diesel has been suffering from the well-known DPF light flashing + ECU light + Traction control light + low power mode. I had it cleaned by Mazda and then it happened again - the second time they quoted me £lots to replace DPF or EGR valve or injector(s) - they couldn't be clear which! In the event they regenned it manually for free and I took the car home. I have used an additive and it's lasted 3 months until now, when it happened again.
So this morning I did the manual regen described here:
http://www.mazda6forums.co.uk/index.php?topic=831.0http://www.cdn.dk/mazda6/tips.htmIt took an hour but worked - now the DPF light is off and the car drives properly (not in low power mode). But the other two lights mentioned are still on.
I tried the DPF light reset described in the link but it didn't make any difference.
The oil level is above the F but nowhere near the X.
Any advice, suggestions, opinions or ideas? The car is driving OK but am I storing up trouble?
By the way the first link above has a post from 678hug including a PDF - but it doesn't open for me. Does anyone have a good copy I can have?
Thanks,
Dave
