This is my secon Mazda 6 diesel estate. It’s done about 90k and am now being quoted £2,000 to strip the engine down due to carbon buildup, and the car can’t be driven until this is done%. I’ve had the car since brand new and have had the oil filter cleaned every 6,000 miles as instructed. the Mazda garage said they had 2 other Mazda 6’s in awaiting the same repair. Anybody else had this issue? If so, what did you do to fix it and how much did it cost?
Car hasn’t even done 100,000 miles and facing a £2000 repair bill

We dont have diesels in America where most of us are and this site is based. Maybe some of the Canucks can chime in? Can you elaborate on 'carbon build up'?

We Canucks don't have any either, but for a very, very short-lived CX5 that I think was here for 2020. So we have, really, no experience with the 2.2 turbo diesel here.

The CX-5 and Mazda 6 have the same engine. Diesel is prevalent on this side of the world. However, this is my first Mazda and I'm only at 51 xxx kilometers.
Sorry but I can't offer any help.
EDIT: I remember reading somewhere that the issue about DPF is when you frequently do city driving. It might also be a cause for your issue if you do the same.
You might want to read this as these guys have the diesel variant just like us.

EGR Valve Cleaning on 2014 Sport Nav 2.2D
Hi folks, I recently acquired this Mazda 6 2.2D and it seems the EGR valve probably needs a good cleaning. I bought some EGR cleaner and I've removed the exhaust which I believe goes from the EGR valve to the intake manifold. It actually wasn't bad at all. I didn't dismantle anything else...
