Also the EGR is a 9 hour job so pipes first.

I had my mechanic do a high pressure leak test and no leaks were found...

I very much doubt your DPF is full. Get them to do a Pressure test. If it is getting full it will read c. 15PSI. Mine was reading 25g of soot and raised a yellow light (DPF full) but the pressure was less than 2PSI!!

Hi Guys,
I started my trip on M1 J10 Luton and went towards London.
In about 25min I have reached Brent Cross. Temperature reached over 600 degrees and managed to get soot level to 1.2g - perfect! Whole proces ended up about 0,5mile before Brent Cross (perfect distance). Now, I got back on the motorway and soot level started going up like crazy. In about 10min of driving I had reading of 11. By the time I got back to Luton I ended up with reading of 16.1 soot level. With every heavy acceleration this level was going very fast, more stable with calm driving. This rise was very rapid from low soot level value and much slower towards 15-16. Exhaust difference pressure voltage is at around 0.75 when idling and 0.9-1.1V when driving.
Also, the only fault code my IID tool is showing is P040D-00. My garage advised to leave it as it is as replacing this sensor won't change anything.
Now few questions: is there any other live parameter I can chceck on IId tool to identify the cause of DPF rapid blockage? Do you think that my DPF requires DPF flush as it is full with ash and other crap? I do not want to go through all the troubles with flushing only to find out that this clogging up is caused by somenting else especially when I could get down to very low soot level after yellow regen. Any thoughts? Cheers, Adam. |

Hi Adam, I have been down the path you appear to be on at the moment and the first thing I would advise is to get a high pressure smoke test carried out to see if there are any leaks on the intake side. From what you describe it sounds more like a leak than an electrical issue. 2011 TDV8 Vogue SE |

High pressure smoke test as a priority to rule out an intake leak - 4 hoses, intake manifolds etc. Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I'm also seeing a possible alternator issue there mate

Thanks for reply guys. Yes, all the sensors cleaned yesterday so no problem there.

What about this part of the intake system? All the flexi pipes have tight clips for secure fit but this plastic part sits on EGR inlet really loose only secured with thin secure wire groove clip. I can even rattle this like it was missing an internal seal or something. It also spin aroun EGR inlet pretty freely... Do you think a lot of pressure might escape there? |

The throttle body to intercooler hose is generally a poor fit, I have recently put a brand new one and although it did seat better, you can still move it more than I would have expected. The big problem there is that you cannot buy just the seal 2011 TDV8 Vogue SE |

Mine was leaking exactly there.

On the part you are pointing at should have a double lipped green seal inside. The hose will move back and forth a bit but certainly shouldn't rattle from side to side. |

Firstly, all the advice above is good. It is particularly excellent that you recognised your indy was talking nonsense when he said:
