Dpf

[catboy]

I have an urban cruiser diesel, reg 2012 with 10,000 miles on the clock,as yet I have had no known issues with dpf problems.The only thing I have noticed and not sure if dpf related is from time to time the idle speed increases from 700rpm to 1000rpm.and lasts for a short while no other noticeable fault while this is going on only visible when stationary .I am aware of the problems dpf can give and although my journeys are short I do give the car longer runs when possible.Is there anybody out there who has had dpf problems with the urban cruiser.I do like the cruiser and was not aware of the problems that it causes with Diesel engines when I purchased it, it seems some models fair better than others.Because of my low mileage would it now be the time to trade it for a petrol engine maybe a yaris trend.your comments would be appreciated

I've done a trawl through previous topics and there only appears to be one topic where a possible DPF issue is highlighted - that was on increasing oil level in the D4D, possibly due to incomplete DPF regenerations.

As regards changing your car, there may be some deals on the existing Yaris Trend as the facelift is due to be launched soon.

I have just looked at pictures of the new yaris facelift it looks good I think I will wait for its release,any idea when in the uk.There is a rumour about a smaller Rav release is there any truth in this.

The smaller Rav 4 is probably the Qashqai rival that Kingo mentioned.

When the engine revs increase from idle to around 1000 rpm, it's quite possible the ECU has ordered a regeneration cycle to clear the exhaust & DPF. It can sometimes be followed by a small puff of smoke & a very slight burning smell, but don't worry as this is quite normal.

When have a car with four wheel drive why would you want on with only two wheel drive?
