Re: Regen's AGAIN..
I had a poke around with my tools for an hour and managed to clean the temp sensor in the top of the DPF, which was fairly clean and 02 sensor in the intake manifold and that was absolutely filthy. It was covered in a mixture of oily soot. All the air holes seem to be blocked to me. The temperature...

Re: Regen's AGAIN..
I used to think a DPF delete was the solution. However, I have read on a couple of forums, instances where people who were having frequent regen issues and chose to have the DPF removed and it was found to be in almost new condition! I believe the EGR system is what causes the high levels of soot i...

In the summer I didn't get many regens at all, however in the winter it was almost daily. Local main dealer had no answer, however an...

Re: Regen's AGAIN..
I have just looked on the Halfords website and see they offer a maintenance treatment for £35. I suspect this will be a £10 bottle of cleaning additive added to your fuel tank. With regards to the £85 deep clean service, I suspect this might be just a can of DPF cleaner squirted into the temperatur...

Re: Regen's AGAIN..
Does it always mean the car is doing a regen when the blue illumination on the engine symbol goes out, Because this car of mine seems to be doing regens for fun. Done approximately 150 miles since yesterday and it's done 3 regens (motorway driving),, Changed the oil yesterday (only done in April) b...

Re: regular regens
Mines still saying 70% and service due in 8 months but oil has level has increased. Was going to put some of that Cataclean in the tank to see if that helps to clean things out but don't know.

Re: regular regens
So reading some of the posts on mazda3revolution the harder the car is driven the more regens it will try to do, I think.. The opposite to what i was thinking. Also noticed my oil level has risen slightly too since the road trip.. Starting to wish i'd bought a petrol car now, Less problematic..
