Well, had it remapped again and I thought all was well.......

But alas, after a few days engine power dropped off after 3k revs and now the dpf light is back on.

So, I'm wondering what todo now. Do I use these guys http://www.dpfcleanteam.co.uk/page2.html, it's £400+ for those guys to remove, clean and refit. Or do I buy a new one from ebay for £740 and another £200 to get it fitted.....

Something's buggin me though. All my dpf issues happened after my indy removed my swirl flaps, fitting 6 new glow plugs and control module. Even after the forced dpf regen, it would still need to regen every 80mls, rather than the 300mls I was used to.

I don't want to buy a new dpf/get old one cleaned, only for an engine issue to clog it up again.

Anyone used http://www.dpfcleanteam.co.uk/page2.html and have any feedback. Only example I can find is this, see the posts from "Leeandzed":

DPF removal isn't an option, before anyone suggests......
