Fazzzman Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I wanted to open up this query to any other owners of a 170 diesel engine, which I had initially posted in the A3 section... http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/audi-a3-s3-cabrio/110851-170-sportback-dpf-problems.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 We have constant problems with the DPF on our Skoda's, mainly the 140bhp 2.0 tdi's and more the Superb than the Octavia. It's easily sorted though, rag the t*ts of it, red line it every now and again, and some full throttle acceleration from low RPM, using all the torque going up a steep hill in 2nd/3rd, and creating as much smoke as possible always clears it. I'm suprised you get the problem considering your daily commute, ours are all taxi's so lots of stop/start town driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr1deck Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 My DPF light came on when I filled up once with a small brand fuel from a village garage. I assume it doesnt have the cleaning additives you get in the main brands like Shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
