I've owned my 2010 135k C207 for 3 years now, which i bought with 70k on it and was intended for commuting use between Scotland and Milton Keynes so put 40k on it in a matter of months before Covid happened and i now work from home. The car is still used regularly for motorway journeys so doesn't exactly sit around and is still well used.
Since getting it i have had the usual A/C condenser failure (£250), one of the rear suspension levelling sensors failed and needing replacing (£200) and the electronic ignition switch motor failed (fixed by me) but it has been largely trouble free until throwing the DPF related errors. It was driven the 20 miles very gingerly to the garage yesterday as it was revving high and not going into a gear higher than 5th even if i tried to do so manually so i am currently sitting waiting on news.
I don't see too many postings with regards to these error messages and am now at the stick or twist point with the car.....................I don't want to get rid but am now debating as to whether or not this is the time to do it.
Thoughts?
