Hiya guys,
I have a Mazda 6 turbo diesel and the DPF light and management light has come on, its a high miler 85k on a 57 plate, I have run over it 2000 rpm for quite a few miles and its not cleared with regeneration, and was wondering my next step with this.
I was thinking of having it taken out and the ecu reprogrammed , but its expensive at about £500 , there are quite a few people selling snakeoil that claims all sort of things. The garages are saying thousands to replace the thing.
Anyone got an alternative ? Thanks and Happy Christmas

Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

Are you a member of any Mazda forums? If not it might be worth looking for them to see if other owners have had the same issues and how they sorted it out.

The trouble is more and more diesels are being fitted with them.

Have heard with the vauxhall's if you take it out and jet wash it does the job.
maybe would work for you.
worth a try before spending £500.
All new diesels have them now.
then save up get the EGR valve,DPF removed AND ecu reprogramed
