Seems to be the same issue I'm having at the moment. When you say you hooked it up to to the company, was it sdd? If so how did you get the result of it being the filter?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. No sdd diagnostics, just a friends fancy diagnostics machine, not sure of the brand but it is big and red. I was impressed at how clear it tracked the problem though, never used/seen one before. It showed a three stage sequence of events, from sensing the issue, shutting down and then controlling the accelerator pedal.

The 2 times I've had the issue appear seems to coincide with when I've filled up from from empty using a local station that is currently branded Gulf ... but its changed hands a number of times in the last few years. Was originally BP, then independent then Esso and now Gulf.

I'm no expert but I would run the tank down until your light goes on, change to a new filter (pre fill the new filter with good diesel), then when you go fill up put half a bottle of red x in before the fuel. |

I'd like to do that, but she has decreed we need to tow tomorrow so I've filled it back up, will change the filter, run it for a few tanks then maybe change it again. It already has 2 bottles of redex in it...

Slightly off topic but if the Russia/Ukraine situation kicks off big time I wonder if we would have a diesel shortage in the UK? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker. Gone MY2010 Freelander 2 Manual TD4.e S, Alaska White. |

Yes, the price is already creeping up on the strength of it, at work we get an update of the price of fuel for the coming week on Friday, beginning of Feb we were paying 131.564 per litre for BP, then the trouble with Russia kicked off, it went up 3p a litre, it's risen for us every week since.

Government will make extra on the VAT on fuel too. Plus the UK imports quite a lot of coal too from Russia, it could all go Pete tong for energy supplies. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Well, new filter on ... still have the reduced performance error, even after multiple cycles of the engine and short runs. Points back to the EGR ... even though I replaced one half of it ... now wondering if its the other half.
