Gen 6 hi lux dpf problems.

[3350turbo]

Our 2015 hiux. 3.0 engine is in for its mot.

They can't put engine management light out. It's the dpf filter putting on they say.

I've suggested the usual pikey farmers solution like removing the bulb and putting black tape over light.

Anyone deleted it or any other solutions?

had to same problem with mine on tuesday -7 left it running for half an hr to warm up and jumped in and light was on . Tryed driving it more harder than normal but light still on few days later . ie today mine done 70000 miles 65 plate. in the end my pal told to disconnect batteys for couple of hrs . to reset itself ,connected it back up no light since and done about 60 miles today since , driving ok. mib just luck but worth a try. might not work on yours but never no.

I'd second the dpf doctor (franchise) I've used them twice now. They're trained what to look for and more importantly the cause of the problem not just cleaning the dpf.

Had the problem with my 2012 Hilux 50000mls, 5th injector can’t inject into exhaust manifold the hole gets blocked with carbon (bent 6inch nail) just right for the job
will regen by its self afterwards all good

I got pee'd off with dpf problems on my Ranger, took it to a reputable lad in Inverness who took it off and sorted ECU plus remapped it. Turns out the gearbox doesn't like 275hp through it. It does make me smile, but is getting increasingly unreliable so have ordered a new Hilux.... Over a year ago

If you don’t make anything out with this I know a man at Penrith who will sort it out.
I will send you his contact details if you need them

Get back I'm hoping for a cheap hilux off this thread.

I think everyone's getting a bit ahead of themselves. We have the money light on and a shop who claim it's DPF related but don't know what because if they knew what they could fix it.
Find someone who can tell you why the lights on before mapping/deleting and firing the parts cannon.
Reading a code off a scan tool is not a diagnosis, it's a starting point.

This one hasn't done 70k miles yet. Got it home now. Feel a bit bad going to a different garage and asking them to try and fix it.

Tried dealer with the same problem on a Dmax. They referred the codes to Isuzu who told me the problem was down to me not driving more than 20 miles at a time or using a motorway weekly. New EGR valve, sensors etc and another oil change, problem still there , DPF doctor would not look at it, referred back to Isuzu. Got a forced regen by Avon Tuning then back to dealer for another oil change, was told the forced regen would void any warranty (I didn't have one). Can see why 15 year old diesels are so popular around here.

Do the DPF fuel additives work to prevent or fix such problems ?

It can't be beyond the whit of man to take the fudging thing off and clean it out somehow? Two good solid clamps to take it off clean it some how and put it back? This is a joke. How much emissionised BS are they going to put on cars before this comes to an end?

Wash it out as many times as you like, but if there is a fault the vehicle wont regen on its own, so you're no further forwards.

Quite a common problem. There is a fella on Facebook who roams the country surgically removing the dpf innards and remapping the ecu. This permanently solves the dpf regen issue and at the moment have no trouble passing emmision test for mot. The 2.5 d-max seems particularly prone though the 1.9 is not immune. https://eptuning.net/ or Elite Performance Tuning on Facebook

The best solution is to check with a professional who may suggest replacing the filter or even consider removal.

Ahhh of course..

Your all buying the wrong brand, never get these issues with discoveries

No, no DPF problem with Land Rovers, not ever.

Just the:

Body
Chassis
Sills
Doors
Engine
Wiring loom
Fuel pump
Clutch
Gearbox
Suspension
Drive shafts
Turbocharger(s)


To worry about on those, reliable as a wooden horse.
