My FL2 has possibly got a problem with the DPF. The reduce performance notification popped up, i had it diagnosed and it came back with dpf low level pressure fault. This is what happens when driving of from cold the car will do between 2 and 4 miles then goes into reduced performance. I stop the car i wait exactly 1 minute the restart and the car is fine no issues at all. then car then will drive perfect for as far as i want to drive it. has anyone else experienced this ?

Yes it would and thats why i am not keen, but apparently they cut the top off the box remove dpf then weld it back up, which cant be seen once refitted |

Have you got the fault codes from the diagnosis? Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

Until they see all the smoke coming from the exhaust pipe on start up. Remember how smokey cold diesels were before DPFs Jules |

It could be just a split pressure sensor hose, or even a faulty pressure sensor.

I would be reporting this garage to the relevant authorities. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues 2019 DS. Terribly unreliable. Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed.... Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎 Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be… |

The amount of soot in DPF is calculated by comparing the pressure before and after DPF.
