I recently purchased a 2007 Zafira SRI 1.9cdti 150 and have had problems with it since the start really. The problems are all related to the DPF and emissions system. I was getting the engine management light and glow plug light on dashboard with car going into limp mode.
I have now had the egr replaced, the turbo had to be reconditioned/repaired because of an oil leak and the DPF was replaced with one from another car. Also an air intake pipe was replaced.
The last thing to be done was the DPF replacement and the car has been running fine but i have been monitoring the DPF saturation levels using opcom device because this was the main issue previously with the blocked filter. The DPF is showing a level of 56% saturation at the moment and 165 km since last regen, which is about 77 miles.
Although there are no warning lights now and the car is running ok can someone advise if the saturation levels are too high for just 77 miles? When I checked before this reading it was showing at 30% saturation and 60 km since regen so im thinking that it is still getting sooted up too quickly but am not sure if this is normal? Thanks.
