2007 D5 (185)....Excessive Oil Consumption & Soot Filter Ful
After months of excessive oil consumption, but with no obvious leaks or smoke, my wife has just messaged me to say the Soot Filter Full light is on. I've done some checking, and she should be ok to drive it, but might go into limp mode. I've also advised a blast down the dual carriageway if she can. Of course, I'm about to disappear for 4 days with work...
At the last service, the mechanic didn't seem unduly concerned by the oil consumption, but it has increased since then. I'm guessing there's a connection though...
If a good blast doesn't clear it, can the DPF be regenerated with VIDA? If so, anyone in the east Devon area who might be able to help?
