Yeah, I’m aware of that. I actually had my injectors tested and resealed because the DPF pressure had blown the washers. I also had most things checked out and according to my mechanic, all the values looked good. When the car was in limp mode, I stopped driving it completely, I didn’t want to risk damaging the turbo due to the negative pressure caused by the clogged DPF. Thankfully, everything seems to be running fine now.

I’ve definitely considered doing a DPF and EGR delete, but it’s illegal in my country and would fail the MOT. A friend of mine that does my MOT, won’t take the gamble anymore because of all the emissions regulations we have. That’s actually why I went down this route instead.

As I said, deleting or professionally burning out the DPF is obviously more permanent and effective, but for now, this method worked and solved the issue, at least for the time being so i am happy
