Dmax issues where do I stand?

Some interesting blurb on the subject Problems with diesel particulate filters may push companies towards petrol

That's depressing reading.

 

Looked at the cost of the DPF additive mentioned in the first letter but 31 euros for 1 can to add to a tank of fuel would hurt. Probably cheaper to drive a gert big petrol. Think a few on here have been advocating the advantages of big petrol beast for some time and looks like it could be the future.

I wonder if the 7% bio in diesel is part of the problem.

Had some useful but depressing advice from an Isuzu service chap (not local dealer). Simple answer forget anything with Euro-5 for doing short trips. He said I could get a garage box of tricks to do a regen cycle to clean the DPF. Not got prices but looks like the only possible option if I want to keep the Dmax.

 

His recomend was older Hilux but does anyone know when the Hilux went from Euro-3 to Euro-4?

mines done about 25k and has just had a service, doesn't have the oil issues but did notice that it was in "regen" quite often. After it was serviced it,s been fine.

 

had no issues with my dmax, I did have massive problems with my new navara....i think all makes have their dogs

Just got back from the Dealer.

 

Been plugged into computer and nothing initially found to be wrong.

 

Solution to the high oil level was easy fix for them, they drained the excess I kid you not.

 

Then tried to charge me for half hours work!

So now you're driving around with lubricating oil diluted with diesel! They should have changed the lot.

Fully agree but what can you do. Hadn't got the stomach to make a big scene and probably still get no result.
