2.0cdti ECU update for DPF causing poor fuel & loss of performace
#1
So when my car had Turbo issue's the dealership did a software update to the ECU.

This update is related to the DPF 
Quote:It adjusts the parameters for the dpf temperature sensors to improve dpf performance and avoid overloading dpf, eml lights and in worst cases engine stalling.

it's a software weakness that only effects astra j, cascada and zafira tourers up to model year MY13.5. The update will just adjust the software weakness that is present.

At first I didn't notice anything when I got the car back as the turbo was still faulty and car was going into limp mode.
After the turbo was replaced I noticed the drop in performance, but then I had a faulty DPF sensor.
Since getting the car back from that being replaced I've had poor fuel economy too, I put his down to the fuel filter and the car was due a service, after a service still no improvement so I've been trying all different fuels all to no avail.
I've spoken to Vauxhall customer services, and they said I need to book it in at a dealership and have it checked out and they can read any fault codes, I explained to them there are no fault codes so my 2 local dealerships (Edan's) will just say no fault found.
I have thought about re-calibrating the fuel injectors and DPF sensors but I now other people are also starting to notice the same issue it can't be them @ fault.
Is there anyone else on here that has also noticed this?
Astra-J 2.0 CDTI S/S
Retrofitted AFL, TPMS, Navi950, BT, DAB, Rear Camera, Infinity sound system, Towbar, Flexfloor & more.
I can do programming and retrofits using genuine GM MDI and Dealer software.
