  1. Hi Debbie

    I use Autoaid and have never had a problem with them

    It is like an insurance policy. If you breakdown, you contact them and hey arrange a local firm to come and either fix or recover you.

    They then reimburse the recovery company  for the cost

    Recommended by Martin Lewis on his website.

     

    approx £40 per year

  2. I had no fault codes as i took it to a garage.

    It was due a full service anyway and they confirmed it was the sensor during the service.

    Checking the invoice it just states DPF Pressure sensor implausible signal but no code.

    They checked as I thought is was a coolant fan issue - no stored faults ref cooling fan

    it was regenerating every day, especially noticeable when driving into work in the morning.(7 miles to work)

    Have you tried a fuel additive to see if that helps clean out the DPF or reduces the number of times it regenerates.

     

  3. Hi Luey

    I had a similar problem in august last year.

    The symptoms were that the fuel consumption was horrendous as in about 30 mpg

    The radiator fan was always running when I stopped and continued for about 5 mins afterwards.

    I had it checked out and it turned out to be the DPF sensor(Exhaust pressure sensor) at a cost of £50.

     

    Hope this info helps

    We have one other to meet up with. Jessie

    So I suggest we meet at rownhams first at 7 and then convoy down to Tesco's at applemore near dibden about 8 

    This is a decent car park and a number of other clubs are also meeting there.

    once we are ready we can the convoy into Beaulieu as a group.

    hope you have printed off your windscreen passes.

    see you Sunday morning.

    Temperature wise it is looking to be about 24 Deg c on the day so should be an improvement on last year.

  6. Hi Darren

    Are you coming down on the day?

    Last year some of us met at Rownhams Services at 7.00 am for some breakfast

    Then drove on to meet up with the others at another location (yet to be agreed) at about 8.15

    I have been thinking about a car park at lyndhurst as this also give a good drive through the New forest, for those who have not been there before.

    For Sat Nav:

    Rownhams Motorway Services - SO16 8AP
    Beaulieu Motor Museum - SO42 7ZN

     

     

  7. Hi John

    Welcome to the Forum

    You will find people here friendly and helpful.

    Have you tried 7zap.com, search through to find your car, as this will give you the part number, unless you already have it.

    Or take one of the other center caps off and it might have the part number moulded on the back

     

    Best of luck

    Welcome to the forum.

    I had a similar issue when I had a 55 reg 2.0TDi A3 and had to switch off the re-set.

    Firstly see if you can plug it in and pick up any fault codes.

    On mine I replaced my battery and the issue went away.

    How old is your battery?
