Dpf off flashing how to#
Google the problem for more information including how to re-set without visiting Mazda.īang on. Cheap little trick and the reason I'll never buy another Mazda. What Mazda don't tell you in their handbook is that their DPF warning light doubles up as a service reminder light - it's programmed to come on every 13,000 miles or so if you haven't visited a Mazda dealer.

So i think i've been lucky with my mazda6, but dont want to push my luck too far.so its going to some other bloke to worry about!!! Not particularly happy bout that, including the £1.75 for screen wash that i got charged?!?!?!? (Perrys in Portsmouth for those of you looking for places NOT to take your car!)Ĭar now MOTed, and hoping to trade it in for a hopefully more normal Mondeo 04 diesel this weekend. So, car booked into mazda, oil change, filter change, DPF light put out and ECU reset. So although i had matched my new oil to the 5W-30 it says in the wasnt wuite right or able to deal with the diesel particulate coming into the sump. Reading more once i got home, there is a special oil that the mazda 6 engine must have, with a different percentage of phosphur i think than normal oil. And we got home fine in the end, still with the light flashing, but no sign of any "safe mode" at any point in the 5 hour journey on french equivalent to A and B roads. I was happy that the oil was good, as i'd changed it myself recently. Had no option really other than continue driving 140 miles back to the ferry. However, last week, now at 75000 miles, in france when the DPF light started flashing. With the car at 72000 miles, i decided to change the oil myself, couldnt get to the oil filter, but as it was going in for MOT this month, i was happy to leave the filter without breaking my arm trying to get it off. When i quizzed the garage on it, they held their hand up but said they couldnt drain any oil till the following week. At this point i got home and checked oil level, to my horror, the garage had filled the oil right up to the X on the dipstick. again no warning lights, or leaks or visual problems, and car went back to normal. Same thing happened again a couple of days later. I pulled over to visually check the car, no leaks, blowing of exhaust or drama's, so started up and carried on.now running normally. On our first long ish journey in the car, after about 20 miles on motorway, it went slow, as if the turbo had packed up, or a "safe" mode had been activated. I got the car home, and checked the oil, the salesman had done a service including cambelt change, in his own workshop, and took it to mazda himself to reset the light (Alarm bells.only mazda can get this light reset!).

Foolishly i put a deposit down then and went home and read the stories of DPF on the internet and this forum in particularly.

When i test drove the car last October, 62000 miles on the clock, full mazda service history as it had been a company lease car, the DPF was on, and obviously when i asked the salesman about it, he fobbed it off and said he get it put out when i picked it up.
