DPF failures

blacksnapon · Sep 9, 2010

Got one in my bay now that had a dpf replaced 2000 miles ago. Its plugged solid now. Previous dealer replaced the dpf without diagnosing the root cause.

It looks to me like theres a fuel leak into the pan causing the engine to ingest oil, contaminating the DPF. I'm guessing at this point because the oil doesn't register on the dipstick (no diagnostics at this point, warranty problems, waiting for the fighting to subside)

If that is the issue I guess that explains the bad mileage he was getting, right?

Keep good fuel, good maintenance, and a good relationship with your dealer tech, and it'll last a long time.

Hotline is suggesting more along the lines of defective turbo seals causing it to ingest the oil. Looks like the turbo comes off monday.

Looks like the turbo's are the culprit. One is locked up, the other has excessive shaft movement. I drained a gallon of oil out of the CAC. When I removed the DPF and the downpipe, oil dribbled out of the exhaust.

How many miles are on it?
