I hope someone can help.
I've an x-type 2.2d 2009/10
I've done hours of research and spent over £1000 trying to get the dpf warnings resolved.
Back story
Dpf full orange light sent to a guy who diagnosed and fixed a split egr pipe.
Seemed OK for a few days.
Dpf full orange light, little run as per handbook, cleared. This happens 1-3 times a week.
I do regular runs and am careful not to switch the car off mid passive regeneration.
EGR starts playing up, whip it off and clean it, still not right, drive it a day or so more, orange light dpf full, red light and flashing coil engine dies.
Local garage diagnosis, egr and full dpf it actually blew the sensor pipe off the dpf!!!
New egr fitted, aftermarket dpf fitted (I know but the cost was too much for me). Went genuine with the egr.
A few weeks later the same problem starts again.
Specialist diagnosed vacuum pipe on egr fixed, forced a regeneration and changed the oil. 10 mins later it's back.
More diagnosis and they reset the dpf with the ecu.
2 mins later dpf full red light.
More diagnosis and the specialist (jag indie) say 100% the pressure sensor on the dpf.
Replaced and still the same issue.
Now I've seen that the ford's have a vapouriser that fails I can't find any reference to the X-type one though....
Can anyone confirm if it has one and if it's the same part as the ford 2.2d part?
Also what else could it be, what could I be missing here and what could all these mechanics be missing?
I looked into the delete route and can only find one company that claim they can do it a day their reviews on Facebook are 50/50.
So I know all the obvious I've battled with this for months now in fact since November last year!
Please help before my head explodes 🤦♂️
