Hi, Ive got 2.0 tdi 170 -92000 miles
About a week ago I started noticing that it didn't feel quite right, a bit slow of the line and there seemed to be more turbo lag than usual. Eventually the DPF light came on and as I got to the m6 to give it a run it went into limp mode and the glow plug light started flashing. After about 20 miles in limp with the dpf light not going off I pulled off the motorway swithchd of engine and back on. Lights were now off and it was out of limp.
Took it to my garage who read fault codes and diagnosed a faulty maf sensor so I had it replaced ( which the warranty company have now refused to pay for but I won't go into that). The car still feels wrong though, theres a load of turbo lag. The dpf lights just come on for the third time this week, although as I had to stop before going for a regen run, when I turned the engine back on the DPF light was back off.
Other things I have noticed are; there seems to be more black smoke, but I don't know if thats just because I'm paying more attention and looking for things and just occassionally the car seems to stutter when the revs are held constant below 2000rpm.
Any suggestions guys?
I'm reluctant to take it straight back down the garage because I've got to find the cash to fork out for the bill which the warranty company are trying to wriggle out of.
Cheers.
