I have 2007 SE TD 2.72 6 Cylinder type with around 38500 on the clock
I have encountered DPF filter problems before but they have been resolved by a long run or regeneration fluid. However, I have recently had a situation where suddenly the engine revved to max on an incline and in stationary. I switched off and then re-started but was only able to limp home at low speed. The following day, I started he car and it appeared normal but after driving approx 1 mile the same thing occurred. I have been advised to put in regeneration fluid and take for a 40 mile drive. However I read somewhere that the over revving maybe due to repeated failed attempts by the ECU to regenerate the DPF. This may have resulted in diesel being washed into the sump and potentially causing a situation where I cannot switch off the engine at max revs. Obviously I am concerned that this could result in a catastrophic situation if I am on the open road and unable to switch off or stall the car because it is automatic.
Any suggestions as to how I should proceed from here.
