Re: Help please, my DPF was removed before I bought the car!

The ECU will have been remapped to take in the fact the DPF has been gutted and EGR blanked in order for no warning lights to appear and for no DPF regenerations to take place. To make the car road legal you will need to have these changes to the ECU reversed and a new or second hand DPF fitted. eB...

Help please, my DPF was removed before I bought the car!

Hello all My MOT failed last week for a worn drive belt and high emissions the car was in for the belt yesterday and asked them to look for the DPF and he said there is a weld mark there so he strongly suspects it has been removed and this is why it failed the emissions test. I have it booked in for...

Terraclean or Walnut Blast

My 1.5d is running a lot better now since mechanic forced DPF but advised terraclean or walnut blast might be worthwhile and may ...

Re: Another day another issue unfortunately!

Re: Another day another issue unfortunately!

Will check the level in the morning but in the me...

Got this last night and had a quick Google which suggested it can happen on CX-3 at start up, suggested to clear it with OBDii and see if it comes back. So I cleared it and it hasn't come back but does anyone know anymore as to...

Shock absorber recommendations please

Hello all So the wiper issue is sorted but I also had my mechanic check the rear shocks as the ride is a little bouncy. He said that the bounce back isn't good, in that the rear doesn't bounce back to level very quickly and this will be down to the shocks. Car has 90k on it and I understand they can...

Re: Engine light coming on and going off.

Could be the plug or the leads, on previous cars I would swap the leads and run the diagnosis, if that misfire error changes number you know it's the lead.

Not sure about the other errors, lambda maybe?
