  • I'm guessing you mean the particulate filter on a modern diesel

    Why did you buy a diesel if you only do short journeys ?

    It effects all modern diesels, it's a fair assumtpion people research a car before comitting to such a large purchase. The simplest of searches will unearth this issue wtih DPF's.

    Blame the Eco Warriors for wanting to protect this miserable Planet.

    "do you feel that when you are buying a car you should be told about known problems"

    Dealers wouldn't sell any cars! Do a search for any make of car and you will find problems. It is up to buyers to research before purchase, thankfully the internet makes it easier than ever.
