I'm interested to know if others are regularly getting the following engine fault:

The fuel pump and filters on the 6250 were changed last week under warranty, having received the same engine fault then.

The 6215's fuel filters were changed approx 250 hrs ago due the the same fault, and changed again this morning. About 12 months ago it also had a new fuel pump and filter change due to this same engine fault.

Fuel is dispensed from a recently purchased fuel tank with an inline filter, so don't suspect sediment in the fuel filters.

Has anyone had similar or got any insight in to what might be going wrong? My dealer isn't being very forthcoming with any information on this, other than saying several people are having similar problems.

From what I understand this and other problems appearing on screens seem very very common.spending a £100,000 on a tractor and getting these messages would drive me nuts.bad enough in warranty but what after warranty has expired and it costs for a call out everytime another message appears.im glad I’ve still got my 17 and 22 year old tractors even if I’ve had a fan resistor in the older one and a holed radiator in the other.seeing these type of posts makes me glad the demo tractor I was promised last October never appeared.

What machine had you been going to Nick?

Have a year old 6250 here. Haven’t see those codes but I am not the usual driver so may have missed them. What we have learnt is that 750 hour servicing is a waste of time and we are changing fuel filters at 500 hours

Ole täällä vuoden vanha 6250. En ole nähnyt näitä koodeja, mutta en ole tavallinen kuljettaja, joten olen ehkä unohtanut ne. Olemme oppineet, että 750 tunnin huolto on ajanhukkaa ja vaihdamme polttoainesuodattimia 500 tunnissa

I had them come up on a 6130r,I found the fault to be where the thread for fuel cap was put into the plastic tank,there was bits of plastic filings falling into tank,took tank off cleaned it all out and cleared any bit of plastic from around the threaded bit,never had the code come up since

Don't think he's a thief.

Dodgy fuel? Mate of mine having lots of problems and turns out all neighbours affected. Buckingham area.

If you look in tank you may see some of the filings still attached,that’s how I worked out that it was possibly what was causing it

To much biodiesel in the fuel I’ve heard. Changing filters every 150-200 hours here at the moment [emoji35]

I have been in contact with our fuel supplier this morning and they admitted that they have had several complaints about fuel. We have had to change the fuel filters on our 6250 again this morning having only been changed on Monday of last week! Someone is going to have to pay for this and I don't see why it should be me.

If indeed there is something in the fuel -too much bio? and replacement filters cures it for a time, it must be "solid" matter blocking the 2 micron final filter one would assume.

Good luck with trying to get any compensation from a fuel company. I had a fuel problem a few years ago and the company couldn't care less. I'd used 3 sets of filters in a few weeks and Watson's denied anything was wrong. I have not used them again.

In this day and age we shouldn't be getting rubbish fuel delivered, just because the tax is lower they think they can sell us their krap.

Sounds like diesel bug

Big problems with crap diesel coming from the Bristol depot. It's worth looking into.

Unsure if this is useful but had the same problem with a year old 6r155 turned out there is a filter inside the fuel tank that was blocked with dirt and gunge Sposedly they are keen on some the bio fuel doing the rounds once it was cleaned tractor ran perfect until this morning hence why I’m on here wondering if anyone knows how to find or remove said filter as the dealership wants £500 to do the job of cleaning it
