Hi Wellsy,i don't tyink your problem is DPF related, i think your problem is down to not having your service light reset, if this is'nt done after the service the car will go into limp mode, most garages don't even know how to reset the service light so it's often over looked.
I would use the tip to reset the light from cdn.dk, to calibrate the injectors using the same link you need to have the engine warm, otherwise it won't work.

Hi Guys need help with my DPF
I recently got a Mazda 6 2008 2 ltr diesel. Light came on - got it checked, eventually got the dpf replaced. Light came back on - went to dpf doctor and they thought that the sensors on idle showing 700c meant the car was not auto regenerating as it was thinking the temp was at regen temperature.
Got all 3 sensors changed and still the dpf light coming on as car is not auto regenerating and sensors still showing 700c - light comes on every 100 miles or so.
Any ideas? Local garage thought it might me lambda sensor which the car has only one.
Any one got any ideas - is the removal and remap the best option? Thanks

hi guys, i bought my mazda6 143bhp at 62000 miles with the DPF light flashing fast. rookie error which i regret big time.
having said that we've got to 92450 miles now over just over 2 years later, had 2 trips to mazda garage for oil change and sefvice, and DPF reset, and the car runs great. BUT...only 2000 miles since last £130 trip to mazda...coming back from birmingham to portsmouth last night, it went into limp mode with no warning lights on dash, with 100 miles to go :-( wouldnt go in 6th due to lack of power, tried running in 4th to increase revs and clear out DPF, to no avail.

At M40/A34 junction, she came back to life just as i was getting off m40, great. then after 3 mins on A34 she went into limp again, DPF light started flashing medium speed compared to service warning fast flash, and engine warning light came on also.

limped home and now have the painful thought of calling mazda tomorrow morning to get it sorted. no other garage can touch the mazda ECU and DPF. it all stinks, i love our mazda6 when shes running great, but this is the last time it *ucks with me like this. at 9pm on a saturday night with my son on board...i dont want a car thats gonna let me down like this has.

What are your thoughts guys? what do you make of companies claiming DPF removal altogether? sounds too good to be true.

Dpf out an remap( done mine(

ok slidey and all, heres the latest...
the car is now DPF free and running like a rocket ship!!!
Now i know there are mixed opinions on this subject, so try not to beat me up if i'm explaining something you dont agree with. I looked under the car from my mates garage pitt, and didnt fancy attempting anything myself in a garage a mile away from my tools and garage. So i limped the car another 50 miles, and saw the guy.

He "seemed" to know his stuff, he took my DPF out the exhaust, and has fitted "Emulators" where necessary on temperature sensors and fuel feed sensor. I watched him plug in his laptop and was amazed at how much came up on the screen! Dear god, even our faulty elec windows were rectified by the pressing of a button on the laptop!! Its a bit further advanced than my 1982 mini thats for sure!!!

Drove the car home, 60 miles, and it drove faultlessly, and oh my god...so fast!!! I guess with that almighty brick of ceramic out of the exhaust...the engine is so much more efficient.

So net result, i got the best nights sleep i've had in weeks, and we are gonna keep the mazda as we do love it (when its running right!), and people say its a strong car once the DPF is removed.
Anyone wanna buy a 306 TD, as thats what i bought and sorted for my wife whilst the mazda been off the road! Crazy times.

Thanks for all your info guy, figured i oughta share my experience on the forum for people. I'm not gonna broadcast who did the job for me until i've given it a couple of weeks incase it goes pearshaped. But the guy assured me there will be no further elec DPF related issues with the car.

Happy days...for now.
Marty/Goose.
