Hi I have been reading through all the problems associated with the particulate diesel filter , and am a bit lost as what's the correct way to diagnose if there is a problem with it or something else that maybe causing the problem that has occurred with my 2009 stx d40 Spanish built .
Got into the car the other day and noticed it had no power highlighted when going up hills top speed flat to the floor on flat surface 80kilometers an hour no lights on took it to my mechanic next day and the pfl light came on he put some sort of scanner on the car and came up with a code fault he says it cannot communicate with the pdf????? and yes the filter needs to be cleaned but on the way home the light went out but I still do not have the power back .
took it for a drive today about 30minutes at 80ks and over but it seems exactly the same, can reach 100km on flat but hills are a struggle so my question is where does one start is it first with the filter and after that the sensors etc.
any help would be appreciated
