Car Problems!!

[tbrick18]

Folks ...Petrol VW T Roc has exhaust system fault , filter must be clogged.
Car does low speed /low mileage. Drove the shit out of it on M1 but still the warning light is on ?

Any advice , thanks

Just thinking, my daughter's car had something like this. It wasn't a clogged filter or dpf issue, it was an oxygen sensor on the exhaust system. Eventually car went into limp mode. Plugging in a fault reader would be your first step....get a cheapy one online or in Argos/Screwfix.

I could be very wrong here but my understanding of a DPF is that it collects soot from diesel when travelling at low speeds, then ejects same soot when travelling at high speeds. And that DPF remapping largely consists of drilling a hole so the soot doesn't gather, then reprogramming the computer to not think this strange.

If this is right, then surely your car is no more or less likely to fail an emissions test whether it has been remapped or not? Ie the soot still isn't leaving through the exhaust.

There'll be less particulate parts per million in a car at idle with a DPF fitted.

Can see a DPF rental scheme being a thing.

Anyone know about fuel guage in car?

Was playing up a bit recently, jumping back and forth when the car starts but now, when car starts, it moves a bit then goes back to the red.

Not a big issue as I know roughly when I filled up last etc. but a bit annoying.

Probably the sender in the tank. Some are accessible inside car with back seats out or boot tray. Some cars are a tank out job. Look up you car make and model year etc on internet along with fuel tank sender and you'll get the picture.

Many diesel BMW drivers on here who do low miles/city driving and have had no issues with the DPF or EGR?

Have I heard Correctly that  you no longer get  a paper  MOT certificate?

It's gone online  or  sent by email or something?

Can anyone  confirm?

Hi all. I  have a 2014 bmw 5 series. I'm looking to connect to my Bluetooth but it doesn't connect Spotify.  So unable to listen to it.
Any ideas what I could use to get this to work. My phone is a Samsung Android.

You could get a CarPlay system?

Thanks, I will look into that. Ideally I don't want any cables showing.

A engine warning light came on in my wife's petrol Polo, doesn't get loads of driving and came on there on our first half cold evening, any suggestions as to what it might be?

Know anyone with a scan tool to get the trouble code?
