Re: '08 3.0sd - Dead DPF :(

[quote="goose"] The latest update... The cleared the Error Codes, drove it 60 miles, and it Regen'd twice no problem?! They have asked I drop it back in to them after 100 miles, as they recorded some "deviation" (?) which they said could be the turbos on the way out. Mileage is only now at 76k - so ...

Which is why i'm told the DPF would not heatup/regen, and why in turn then it threw an error code and went into limp mode.

Fast forward to Mon AM this week, and it completely failed. The compressor would kick in and try and inflate it, but it was leaking as fast ...
