Dmax issues where do I stand?

D'oh forgot about the extra injection for burnoff !!

To be honest there is lots I like about it but fuel in the oil is not one of them

 

That figures. The Euro 4 system was an open loop DPF i.e no sensors monitoring the DPF, it just relied on a burn off cycle based on usage, it could generally be removed without issues. From about 2010 when Euro 5 came in The DPF went closed loop i.e sensors monitoring the pressure in front of and behind the DPF. When a set pressure differential figure is met it goes into active REGEN, dumping the diesel which finds its way into the sump.

 

Your trips are too short causing the DPF to clog and require another active REGEN. I am surprised given you tow a trailer but given it working harder will cause more soot another REGEN does make sense - still seems like a design fault to me.

Not yet. Taken some persuading to even get them to look at it. If I get them to take it back would be a result. Will give them a chance to rectify it first but not holding my breath.

 

Make sure you document everything.

Good tip

 

Writing it up now.

Fit one of these gadgets and forget about it. They do work.

Not if you've got a plugged up DPF due to it expecting to get an active REGEN and that box has stopped it. The back pressure will just build up. It's a band aid on a septic toe...

 

BTW, I got the message WW.

Seeing the vehicle is so new then it would be unfair of them on that mileage to put it right

 

As TCD said i bought one of the last Td5's in March and I had three months warranty and I had the oil level rise to a serious level spoke to the garage in Exeter and they took it in and they where told it was a crack in the cylinder head near one of the injector seats but they dismissed this and went there own way and said it was the injector tips and they where leaking diesel so they put new injectors in , I collected the Land Rover 10 days ago set the trip too zero and done some local driving nothing much stop start then did a day of trailer work came back in the dark on Monday checked the oil next morning and oil level very high again drained the engine again and out came 10.5 litres of runny diesel oil and I had only done 343 miles so a telephone call and a letter from a good independent Land Rover specialist and it's going in this week and have the head changed they said its cost us £1400 already but I said I've got a vehicle that's not fit for its intent and purposes

So beau stick with it and get them to sort it

Cheers

It was a metaphor.

The DPF is removed and bypassed. I dont think its an option on such a new vehicle but if it was a few years down the road I would tear it off and fit the gizmo.
