The pipes can become blocked/broken to give false readings as well as the sensor being defective.
Shame to change the DPF and still have a sensor/pipe problem.

Cheaper than a DPF to rule this out first.

Picked up my DPF from here

Took about 40 mins to fit myself.
Been fitted for 4 years with no issues.

Hi Iain. Many thanks for the reply and recommendation. I’ll have a look at those pipes and recheck Vida for the code. Cheers
