DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March)

[Toms306]

So, the car I'd bought to not touch mechanically myself...yeah...




The DPF pipes were all clear. Then fully removed the sheath and checked closely for cracks or splits and they're fine. The sheath has rubbed at various points but seems to have done its job to save the pipes themselves! Also checked the sensor...tapped it on some white loo roll and nothing came out at all, so that's good as well fortunately. But it was loose and flopping around as the push clip on the back side had worked its way out, obviously I've tightened it now but could that cause any problems? I wouldn't think it'd change the pressure reading at all!

Also, the DPF appears to do its job...pre DPF pipe is black inside and post DPF its still perfectly clean! What is the odd green gunge on the top pipe though? Is it just some sort of pipe lube to get it on easier?




Also had a bit of a fail with the engine cover...managed to over-tighten it last time so this time the entire studs came out instead of just the nuts.
