Jon you clearly drove a Friday night job. First time I took mine on a dual carriageway found myself doing near 90 without realising it. Pretty sure it would go faster than I would ever want to go in an off road vehicle

Just noticed my oil level rising so guess they have not got this problem resolved

 

Does anyone know how this happens? I've never driven a Dmax (newest pickup has been a 2009 ranger with 240k on clock) but is it not an engine management issue along the lines of:

 

Exhaust back pressure senses particulate trap becoming blocked

 

Need to clean it by getting it hot, either a high speed run at high load to get the filter hot enough

 

OR

 

Push some extra fuel in via the injectors near exhaust opening time (can only do this with common rail) so it heats the trap up. A chip remap could fix this.

 

However because engine doesn't get hot sooty excess diesel runs down bore into sump

 

or have I got this new fangled stuff entirely wrong.

 

It makes adding adblue look attractive.

I spoke to the dealer about 3 months ago and he assured me that unless you leave it ticking over lots or plodding round feeding pheasants etc the problems are gone.A good run on a roads 20 minute per day will prevent the problem.
