@deejays supurb work, it has needed doing for while. Originaly the information/ mis information came from Bosch UK via
@Fredastaire but is compounded by poor database consistancy. The
@MarcoWuerttemberger info concerning fuelling difference V28/V32 does not contradict maybe supports the info I was given by a "trusted " fiat pro dealership in that if you havent had a problem with V28 then keep it untill you do (the cynic in me says yes when its a problem it my pocket thats £10k lighter.). @serrow a repeat of what ive said previously,
dpf quality. One thing that ive said before and i know there will be no evidence to substantiate these thoughts (well not in the public domain) is that the ducato Dpf was of a new design and of a new production technology. I am not aware of the precise technology used (and no longer have contacts in Johnson Mathey) but with my knowledge of thick and thin film technolgies to coat ceramics i can sermise there could have been in the early days batch related production issues that could lead to cracking .
So what is causing the DPF to fail?
Possibly a combination of UPTO 3 issues
Dodgy? software
Injectors
Suspect batch of DPF
Software: one thing that is missing is detail on the temperature of regen with early versions and amount/timing of fuel injected to get a regen. If a difference between v28 and v32 also important. One thing relevant to this is is there more than 1 dodgy batch of dpf's eg late 18/19
@deejays a few questions
Have you had a blocked cooler/cracked dpf
have you the original c of c and know date from factory or any date eg from convertors date of export.
V24 too much to think you would have any
MES data from that period or any regen info at all.
I'm trying to pin down dates of software Versions and manufacturing dates of problem vehicles.
The number of problem vehicles is quite low in comparrisson to Adblu but still too many possible time bombs ticking out there?
