Dpf clean location?

[P2KKA]

Diesel Peugeots!!

Could be a myriad of things based on my time in parts. Get a good garage on it. I never saw a blocked one on a partner but
countless NOx sensors, adblue pump faults, additives empty, urea injectors........

Garage is checking over on Monday, says possible sensor issue, maybe even a dpf clean, will figure it out one way or another he says.

So a quick update, at this moment in time the van is running.
Took it to a garage that I was confident they would find the issue and sort it out to then get a potential bill of £3000, £1400 for a new dpf as they said omissions were passing through it meaning it wasn't doing its job and around £1600 for a new turbo, something to do with end stops and they had difficulty getting off and maybe this model you can't, even though the turbo itself was running fine.

So as soon as I heard this I got onto the phone to the guy I bought it off, he has his own mechanic and said to bring it to him..after a few days of going over it his mechanic realised that the pat additive for the dpf was empty, so hoping that was all it needed to clear up issue with dpf, he reckons that it wasn't coming up as a warning light because if it was done before they didn't programme it in so I that could let you know if it was low or empty next time.
He also replaced the actuator for the turbo and now all seems good..will be doing a 200mile trip up north tomorrow so If I get through that with no issues then I'll be comfortable knowing it's okay.

Pat fluid needs filling up and resetting, small tank underneath lasts between 100k and 120k

This was mentioned earlier, it’s a very common thing, shows how much certain garages take the piss, a new dpf and turbo and the original problem would still not be fixed!!

Was thinking the same, they talk a good game, but doesn't mean they are honest or that what they say needs done, especially when they are throwing a figure of £3,000
It's possible they seen me in a vulnerable position being that I needed the van asap..dunno but it does make you realise that that's a good idea to build up some knowledge.

Maybe when the last garage forced the regen that's why it never came up on the diagnostics or on screen fault.
