Hi I am not sure what else to title my problem so here goes.
Having had my 07 D40 going into limp mode over a few years it was not a great issue as it was always fine when it was towing.
Step forward to a few weeks ago my son decided to identify the cause as we had fitted 2 new SCV's and a fuel pressure sensor.
Then it started cutting out when at traffic lights so using a guide of youtube (arrggg) he tried to force a regeneration as described on you tube.
This resulted in recovery by the RAC with a broken turbo and oil everywhere.
Moving on a couple of weeks a new turbo was fitted. This was after all the intercooler and associated piping was steam cleaned. Started up perfect but exhaust was obviously full.of oil despite being washed out. As large quantities of black smoke covered our estate (it was that bad.)
Anyway we decided to steam clean the DPF as the DPF light had by now come on.
That seemed to.be the secret BUT after driving about a quarter of a mile DPF light comes on again.
So along comes my sons mate. With his snapon from work. He managed to turn of the DPF light.
But a trip up the road brought on the DPF light in exactly the same place on the road. (Inc limp mode)
So a forced regeneration was started. Very smokey at first but around an hour later it was running very clean.
Yet another trip up the road and "Damn" DPF light back on. (Same place and inc limp mode)
The most confusing thing is it's not making the power it used to even before the DPF light comes on. It ticks over and runs good otherwise.
