Civic Gen9 2.2 DPF issue
Discussion
Hi All,
Father has a diesel Gen9 that has the DPF error with the ! icon so it seems that the DPF is full. He's had it cleaned out, taken it for a long run but still down on power. I told him to take it to Honda to do a forced regen. They've had it for £90+ VAT and said that they can't do it. Told him something up with the exhaust and will be £3000 for the fix!
I think that that they are talking a load of rubbish but I'm no diesel specialist at all. I personally think they just can't be bothered to deal with it.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to try next? I'm thinking that I will do the DPF clean myself as I'm 95% sure there's a rubber hose that can be unclipped just behind the radiator. Give that a try.
