Two small shut-off valves either side of a 'T' junction that joints the two sensor pipes together. Even if you do this I think the ECU may throw a fault as it probably wants to see some form of differential reading.Ĥ) Next trick would be to put an artifical pressure difference/vacumm into the tubes. I have it on good authority that this is a fairly common problem for Vauxhalls and engines are being wrecked.ģ) Have you tried connecting the two DPF pressure sensors together? This will give the pressure sensor an neutral and altitude variation value. This is bad news because over time diesel fuel WILL get into the sump a dilute the oil and give rise to increased oil level. Short runs are not long enough to complete a regen. More ECU support is being added as time goes by.Ģ) Sounds like you only do short journeys in your car. Also displays stats info about regen/dpf status. In the trade to give you advice and you still bought the Fiat.Here is a collection of stuff for you to digest.ġ) FIATECUSCAN (free software) can do a forced DPF regen on some Fiat/Alfa ECUs, e.g EDC16 CF4. oh hang on they all seem to have these things happen occasionally including snapped cambelts! again after 38 years one would have thought you knew this!Ĭlearly your not happy with your Fiat,but now its getting pathetic with your examples of how poor there quality is! i cannot help thinking we are all responsible for our actions,and you bought the think new have 38 years experience in diesels so should really be better informed and have good contacts and i believe amongst that number you will find mercedes Bmwįord peugoet citroen you name them every motor manufacturer that has a few horror stories dump your merc they had injector problems dump your bms they had a bad batch of faulty turbos dump your ford injectors egr valves DMF failure's. OK i will order the horses ,everybody dump their cars motor homes lorriesĤ0 million vehicles in the UK for those who have trouble with numbers that'sĤ0,000,000. I have just returned from motoring around France and have covered 6000 miles in my Ducato BUT the engine management light has come on and the Fiat garage has diagnosed the problem to be ( guess what? ) a problem with the DPF sensor!!!! They have ordered a new sensor and I am currently waiting for it to arrive and then to be fitted.Īm I just an unlucky punter or is this a common problem? What is the answer to this problem as I am now really anxious about using the vehicle for its primary purpose ie. At great considerable expense, I decided that enough was enough and exchanged the vehicle for my Ducato based motor home. Even though the sensor had been replaced after the first breakdown, the problem quickly re-appeared. Both of these breakdowns were directly linked to DPF sensor problems. I purchased a very expensive motor home last July (2012) built on a Ducato 130bhp as my previous motor home (bought March 2012!!) was on a Peugeot Boxer and let me down on two consecutive holidays resulting in recovery. 'almost like you now expect it to breakdown again and soon'īelow is the first post, I wonder why I think the above to quote you. Everything is booked and paid for at both events.
#FIAT DUCATO DPF OFF UPDATE#
Yet no nearer to getting my vehicle back or an update on how they intend to fix it, I was due at a track event this weekend and was going to Scotland next week. I spoke with Fiat at 5.00pm tonight and was passed to yet another person who would look into it for me, four people there I have spoken to so far. The dealer read the codes on Tuesday afternoon and informed Fiat UK technical. In heavy traffic on the M1 that was an unpleasent experience, luckily the vehicles near me reacted quickly otherwise an accident could have occurred. This was arranged between Fiat and the RAC.Ī point worth making is the engine went into limp mode while driving at 60mph with the cruise control on towing a Brian James Shuttle trailer with a car in it. So it was recovered to the Iveco/Fiat dealer as it is only 8 months old/5500 miles and under the manufacturers warranty. Here we go again a personal attack on me, we have scanners that will read the EOBD codes, however the vehicle does 5mph. Re: dont buy any car fitted with a DPF (diesel particulate filter)
