Dreaded DPF problems

[BlockLike]

Having an awful time with my 2006 Pathfinder 2.5 DCi auto.

Ok, so a couple of weeks ago it was diagnosed that the fans had gone on the turbo.

Got the turbo replaced and the car immediately lost a lot of power. On the same day the DPF light came on. Took it on the motorway for 30mins and the light cleared after about 15mins.

The light then kept coming back on every other day and again cleared after some motorway driving, until the end of the week when it stayed on and the remained in limp mode.

Took it to my local garage, they tried a forced regen, but it refused to do it. They took the DPF off and it was completely blocked. They've had it properly cleaned and reset the ECU but the DPF light is still on and stuck in limp mode.

Does this mean the sensor has had it?

Sorry for the lack of response. I don't think there's many diesels on this forum.

If you brought it to the shop to fix the light and it being in limp mode, I'd say bring it back: they didn't fix it.

If you'd like to attack it yourself, start by finding out what codes it's throwing. You can replace the sensor (especially if it's not too spendy) as it may indeed be bad, but it's a shot in the dark.

Yeah, it's going back in on 5th Jan, it's closed for the holidays.

They said they're going to run another diagnostic check to check what errors come up.

Was posting in case anyone had a similar problem before
