W212 E350 Gearbox fun....

[HB]

I had an old Jag X-Type (2.2 Sport CDI, if there is such a thing...) and it had a stuck EGR, but was ok.
I had a Jag XF (3.0 Sport) and that was lovely, but the gearbox went mental and a few other things - but it didn't argue DPF.
The E350 has probably suffered "Lockdown-itus" in that I've been WFH for 1.5 years now, and only taking nipper to school about 2 miles up the road and back....whereas before I was doing 2 x 50+ mile commutes a day....
I am about to change jobs, and it's likely to get a good blat up the M6 once a week, so it won't be entirely sat....


I do like this car though, it's "rather nicely specced", just a shame it's not CAZ compliant in local Brum now... :\

I give ours a good Italian tune up on a regular basis and run it solely on premium diesel. The DPF sensor failing is, just a sensor failing outwith any control of mine.

Well, it's now thrown a P2453 (one digit difference), but driving ok - so it's going back again....

Change the sensor and I’m almost certain it’ll fix your issues like it did on mine.

It's going back in tomorrow so hopefully they'll just replace it now

Back again - it's now got the expected new DPF sensor, at £90 inc parts/labour/VAT.
No MIL lights as yet...

It will be fine now. It makes a massive difference, my sensor was failing for a while. The new one transformed it.
