Hi to everyone and Happy New Year.
A couple of days ago, the engine light came on on my w203 c220 cdi. I took it to an independent garage who diagnosed dpf sensor and dpf filter. They have ordered parts to be fitted tomorrow .
However, the mechanic reset the engine light and said the car will be okay but the fault will return. I have done approx 300 miles in a couple of days, mostly motorway and the symptoms have not returned; engine light, no kick down. I know the hoses to be okay.
My question is, based on experience will this fault return or has the reset and a blast down the motorway solved the dpf problem?
I don't want to mess the mechanic around or get stuck with a recurring fault.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
