I've got a C30 R-Design 1.6 D2
The engine model is D4162T which is a PSA model which is the 8V one.
You can check the engine model using the vehicle VIN
Position 6- 7: Engine Code
84 = D4162T
Sitting at about 104000 miles.
Mostly motorway journeys (more than 1 hour commute) up to 90000 miles.
It's been a great car so far.
Only problem being the dual mass fly wheel replaced at 90,000 miles. Did the clutch at the same time (approx £750 including labour).
Average 52 mpg
For the last year most of my driving has been a 10 mile commute so short 20 minutes at below 40 mph driving. Not sure if this has meant the DPF has not regenerated.
I've just started to see a "Reduced Engine Performance" warning and plugging in a generic OBD reader with the Torque Pro android app is showing P2002 - Powertrain Particulate Trap Efficiency Below Threshold bank1
My understanding is that the DPF is a combined catalyst DPF and is supposed to be changed at 75,000 miles ?
I'm looking at replacing the DPF/Catalyst with a third party item BM model BM11163H if the diagnostics are accurate. Cheapest I've seen it is about £350.
Might be coincidence but I recently put a towbar on for a bike carrier and not sure if the electrics are interfering with the Canbus (ECS dedicated kit VL-014-DXU) so first port of call is to unplug the towbar electrics and investigate further.

I'd appreciate some feedback from real world owners as to what I can expect in terms of refinement, performance and economy.
Many thanks!
