That is the best advise yet ! . Makes my MoT fail rates rocket & costs car owner a fortune to put right . Oh & removing the silencer is pointless as it is the DPF you need to get at , just downstream of th turbo
Seeing as you are getting the soot message , the filter is clogged & requires a regen . You have had one done , BUT did you drive like you stole it afterwards on a motorway ? . A regen requires heat & gasflow to burn off & blow away soot . Most common cause of soot is slow stop/start town driving of only a few miles & the blue smoke is oily exhaust deposits getting hot & smoking . A monthly blast in a lower gear to make engine really rev works wonders for the issues & at least 20 minutes fast driving to generate sufficient heat
