Ive had the DPF light come on a few times, Plugged in Carly, realised im running way too low temps = 62 Celsius to 70 averaging about 65. Dreading the cost of replacing the DPF, guessed the temp was the problem. Read that the car running around that temp would be down to a faulty EGR thermostat, have replaced it but still stuck with the same issue. Three glow plug faults also came up on Carly, would this have an affect on the temp by any chance? I know the next step would be to replace the main stat, but have been told with those temps its not likley.

Any help would be much appreciated guys
Why wouldn't it be the t-stat? This last claim makes no sense. T-stats are notoriously failure prone to run cold. In fact it's one of the top 3 causes of diesels getting poor fuel economy. It's so common, nearly every diesel forum has sticky's about it every winter. It's probably the t-stat. Put it in a pot of boiling water and check it for yourself. They're only $60USD...
