DPF and EML Warning - Fault code clearing
Discussion
Afternoon!
I’ve got an 08 320D Tourer.
Amber DPF warning light came on recently.
Yesterday the DPF light came on quickly followed by the amber engine management light, then a complete loss of power as it dropped into to limp mode.
When trying to start, the car turns over and the fuel pump is working.
Disconnected/reconnected battery which helped me start and get home. But cut out same again.
Luckily made it to a friend’s house and got recovery to pick me up.
BMWs initial advice was to do a DPF self-clean by hitting the motorway at +2000 revs for an hour and the car would do the rest. They now advise reading/clearing fault codes and trying to do the self clean... apparently it won’t happen automatically if there are stores fault codes(?) And get the car to do a DPF purge
Anyways, I don’t have the cable and software to go thru and clear them, but was wondering if there was anyone based around the Wigan area who could recommend a company who won’t charge me £100 just to take the keys from me!
Cheers,
Rob
