PLEASE HELP - Kiel0777 - 12:th-May-2020

Dpf soot level shows 131%.. No fault codes on the car and the dpf Differential sensor is reading 102kpa... Been for a very long drive today down the m1 doing 65 in gear 4 at 3k revs but soot levels are still the same?

RE: PLEASE HELP - niteram - 12:th-May-2020

I really don't know what to say that will help you
my 1.7 suddenly came up with the "dont stop driving" message as I pulled onto my drive, so I went back out for a thrash, it blew out loads (and I mean LOADS) of black crap.
I don't know what the soot levels are on my car, but usually when they get too high you get the message that I got , aftre that it goes into limp home.
I'm no expert, but if yours is at 131% then either your diagnostic tool is lying to you
or
maybe your dpf filter etc has been removed by a previous owner and the computer system still shows the level when it went into "limp mode"
I think the only way to find out for sure is to get it looked at by a Vauxhall dealer or Vauxhall specialist

RE: PLEASE HELP - Kiel0777 - 12:th-May-2020

I used opcom which is vauxhall software

RE: PLEASE HELP - marktourino - 12:th-May-2020

Only way to find out properly is to get it checked out properly.

RE: PLEASE HELP - paula9568 - 12:th-May-2020

op com is not vauxhall software and what you have is a copy any way.what you want is tech 2.belive what people are telling you your dpf is not blocked

RE: PLEASE HELP - Kiel0777 - 12:th-May-2020

Well what's wrong with it then as it's on 131% that is not normal levels and it's showing dfp differential sensor at 102kpa!

Yes it all runs fine but I don't want it to get to the point of "limp mode" rather have it sorted now as something clearly isn't working properly

I can't recommend any near you as you're not local to me.

try this for your local Vauxhall dealer
https://www.vauxhall.co.uk

try a google search for Vauxhall specialists near you.

Yeah thanks I've found a local specialist... All signs are pointing to dpf Differential pressure sensor
