Thread: Modern Vehicles and Their Modern Problems

For the last few months my Mondeo TDCI has been having issues with frequent DPF regens, around every 100-200 kms some times less. Recently a warning light came on and the led screen saying "engine malfunction". Luckily I was 5 minutes from home. I ran a scan tool giving me error code P2002 followed by "Diesel Particulate Filter Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1", thought it would be something to do with the DPF. Did a google search, could be one or more of a dozen things, typical. I've checked the more simple and cheap to fix issues like leaking exhaust and/or pressure sensor hoses etc, just my luck, thats all good. So now I have to look at the more expensive solutions, but which one would it be? There is a droning noise coming from the air take but can't locate any leaks
Last owner replaced the DPF and injectors but with second hand parts from newer models, he worked for a wreckers.
Has anyone else had this issue, particularly with TDCI Mondeos?
Should of kept driving my old 96 Camry
