got the dreaded "dpf full" warning today (on the message display) - closely followed by the yellow engine warning sign (on the tachometer).

It seems to have fixed itself (?).

Just wondering if this happens while in a traffic jam and you cannot clean the dPF? I would say that it would not damage the engine but only "help global warmming a bit" FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER |

Take it for a gentle run to warm the engine up, then give it a good blast |

The DPF is supposed to clean itself and some might never experience this sign. I have a friend who is driving daily in heavy city traffic and he says the sign comes up even under every 600 Km. Lucky that even over here the DPF is optional. I think that in Germany they are compulsory. FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER |

Correct! I've never seen the DPF Full message though, perhaps because I mainly drive on the Autobahn. - Mike |

While mine (launched in Germany with a compulsory DFP, but driven in Montenegro) is alerting each 300 - 500 km already. That probably depends on the short distances in cloggy small town of Podgorica as well as on the bad fuel here in Montenegro. Problem 1: It is an ecological nonsense for me (working in the environmental sector, thus thought I should drive an example with DPF) to be forced to go on the road once a month to burn free the filter with some extra 100 km at 12 l/100km consumption. Problem 2: there are no highways here, to drive at min. speed of 50 km/h and at 3.000 r/min is a risky trip up and down the serpentines in the MNE Mountains and is stopped by the next bus or truck crossing my way. I have to get up very early on Sunday morning and try to find a quiet road. Serious Question: Is there a possibility to deactivate the DPF temporarily ? Did anybody encounter similar ongoing problems? What can I do? P.S.: LR Montenegro (in fact a FORD dealer) has no answer since the DPF is not inbuilt or sold here - for good reasons, I would say Regards from Free (not any longer environmentally...)...Green |

Speaking to a VW technican about my DPF on the Golf, I explained that I regularily use the motorway so the DPF should be okay- he said, 'Rubbish' He explained that the soot is burned off at 2,000rpm on a light throttle in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th!!

What ??? You mean yesterday's 50 km tour at 3.000 rounds/min (and at 12 l/100 km consumption ) were not necessary after all My goodness, that would be a release for me at the very end after all these nightmares with the filter. Actually yesterday the DPF full sign dissapeared after a few km indeed already, I just continued for another 20 min. in 2nd gear at 3.-4.000 according to the manual - ugly, but always obedient to Landrover's instructions so far - but I guess I should change that attitude and rather not give that many thought to the car and its alarms and alerts any longer. Looking forward to your experience with the soot burning filter. Regards FreeGreen |
