Thanks The code you have is for an air intake leak behind the MAF sensor so the the engine is getting unmeasured air into it, this would cause the DPF to start blocking as the ECU will start an overfueling strategy to cope with the extra air but once the leak is cured a good forced regeneration should sort that out.
