Always the same with techs. Put new things in and hope for the best. Its a shame as my power came back for that 45 mins but as I pull in to the drive, there it goes. My trusty yellow check engine warning light. At least the low end judders and jolts in 1st and 2nd gear are gone....some saving grace

Spoke too soon....took it our for a drive and 45 mins later the check engine warning light came on again. Ffs. Back in to the garage...

Well Gentlemen...................the verdict is in.......because it's warranty, there was a lot of spin but it got pinpointed down to a faulty MAF sensor Vehicle is now all done. They didn't put any additional sensors and checks on despite me specifically asking and replaced the MAF sensor and...

Cheers. Will report back. Chavvin' awa' neebs. Guy nippet puttin' ma hunnels' oot in tae the cahld. Mechty sare. Hoorna sare. Google translate doesn't recognise Doric (NE Scots) so will just speak in English. I'm betting this engine warning light is a full to the brim DPF filter that'll be...

Well gentlemen, I threw a grenade in to the dealer and got the date pulled forward. She goes in on the 13th of August now (what a surprise.....they pulled it forward). I've asked them to put more warning lights on and play around with the computer to possibly enable manual regens and get it...

I think it's a 3.2..........can't remember. Lol that's embarrassing. Is doing these things going to void the warranty? Yeah, I have no lights showing DPF at all. It went straight to an "engine management" light. reading the manuals it points to DPF lights and sensors, drive to clean error...

I know. Covid demand has meant the dealer is fully booked up for warranty work until September...

So over this DPF guys. Was tempted to just jimmy the truck off the pier and commando roll out of it. I took it on a 40 minute slow road. Circa 47 mph in 6th gear, revs down at about 1300 circa. Uninterrupted. No braking etc slowing me down. Basically the optimum driving threshold. I...

Can you explain why it should burn off at that rpm? My understanding is that it needs to have parameters to enter a cycle? People have told me I just need to horse it and red line the thing but from what I've read, it needs parameters to enter a cycle?

Hi, Yes it's called adblue in UK and it's all topped up. I've done a few regens, as the light has gone off after it. I know when it's happening as the smell is awful and the heat is very hot but I'm maybe doing something wrong with the driving or underestimating what "regen" is. It's going in...

OK, this is good and I hear what you are saying. The consistent theme being that the car likes hot, long journeys. This is precisely my point as to why I'm confused and annoyed about it as logic dictates that at some point, it will regenerate on the journey and I won't even realise its...

It just says above 40 mph. Very generic. Some YT videos show them driving at 45mph in 3rd gear hitting 2500 circa RPM and the light just goes off after about 7 minutes. The issue I have is i'm doing consistent, hot, long journeys. I have to go out my way to do what I think is a regen, gamble...

I'm driving consistent, hot, long trips as mentioned in my OP. My journeys are a diesel engine's wet dream, the issue I think is with the parameters to enter the regeneration, i.e at what speed, RPM, for how long etc etc. Any ideas?

Petrol rangers? that's interesting. We're diesels over in the UK. DPF's have been around for a while now and they are getting even stricter. My ranger doesn't even have that DPF light. This is the thing, my manual references it but it doesn't even show up. It's the yellow engine light.

Hi, I've had a scour of these forums prior to posting this thread and couldn't find any related threads regarding DPF's. Need some urgent help if any experts can assist. So the story is: Brand new ford ranger XLT 2021 model. Had 0 miles on the clock. I do consistent 60mph to 70mph journeys...

Accidentally posted the thread twice but can't delete......ignore this one guys. Sorry.
