2.0 CDTi SVS/Limp mode :(

[everson38]

Hello all

I recently bought a 2013 2.0 CDTi Elite. 35k on the clock.

On Saturday (hot day) it went into limp mode with the Service Vehicle Soon message. Engine was running at normal temp.

Took it to my local garage yesterday afternoon and they got back to me this afternoon.
They cleared the message and took it for a road test. 
- Car temp went into the red and triggered limp mode again.
- One cooling hoses was red hot, the other stone cold.
They are going to continue looking into it tomorrow as well as send me the error code.

I normally drive the car 40 miles per day on A roads ranging between 40-80mph, mix of eco-driving and fun.
I recently fitted a DPF signal light (as per the guide) and it has come on once in the last 2 weeks and completed the cycle before I got home.

Car came with 6 month dealer warranty but they are refusing to pay for 3rd party repairs/diagnostics. 
The garage is 2 hours away.

Any ideas?

It seems like their maybe some issues with your thermostat. Not opening t9 allow coolant to flow around the whole engine. Yes it will be common that they won't pay for other repairs etc as they will merely claim they cannot verify the quality of work etc etc. Annoying as it is being 2 hours away that was a bit of a risk but I would try take back and ask for a courtesy.
