Hi there,
I have a W204 C250 CDI Auto with a potential blocked DPF with EML on, as well as Limp Mode.
Initially had an Intake Air System Leak (P2462), as well as P2463 - Diesel Particulate Filter Restriction - Soot Accumulation..
Garage (non-Merc) fitted a new intake hose from the dealer, cleaned the DPF and reset fault codes, then advised I take it on a long motorway run with revs circa 2500-3000. I've done this several times with no effect (EML also back on and showing P2463).
Ever since, the car will not rev/accelerate above 3000 RPM, no power/kickdown/use of manual mode so assume it's in Limp Mode.
I've read it could be the DPF sensor/MAF etc. so was wondering if anyone could recommend a specialist in Leeds/West Yorkshire with Star to get a better idea?
Or is there anyone on here that has access to Star that can force a regen / or recommend the best route to take?
I believe iCarsoft MB V2.0 can also force a regen but not sure what allowance it has for soot levels before it does so.
There is of course the DPF removal route which I don't want to go down, but has anyone got any experience of doing so on this particular engine alongside a Stage 1 Re-map?
Thanks
