So we had this #ford #Kuga in that had been diagnosed as requiring a new #dpf at a cost of £2600!!! The owner brought it to us for a second opinion... after carrying out initial checks we found that all data for the dpf was low and normal? A manual back pressure check of the dpf confirmed this? So what was causing the dpf light to be illuminated??? Further checks highlighted a discrepancy with the exhaust temperatures! Sensor 1 & 2 were reading correct but sensor 3 rose to around 150oC and then went off? We removed the sensor (after dpf) and conducted a continuity check which confirmed that it was at fault and shorting out once a certain resistance was met. We replaced the sensor with a genuine ford one and immediately all error lights extinguished and the vehicle came out of limp mode saving the customer £2400😳💪 to say he was relieved is an understatement!!! Not all dpf warning lights mean your dpf requires replacement or delete! This owner could have replaced the dpf and still have the error light due to this sensor!!!! 01513742421 for #dpfdiagnostics #dpffilter #dpffixed #ellesmereport #nwautoservicesltd #blueoval #diagnostics #workshop #savingafortune #savedafortune #getitfixedproperly (at NW Auto Services Ltd, Cheshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIaSkCn5nx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qp7m2s8ei6ly
