What are the typical "Knock on effects"?

Very interesting and thanking you

Oh and so what does one do if the system pressure goes low?

Interested to hear the technical reasoning?

You have confirmed my fears and this seems to be an accepted practice with some garage operators in Ireland at the moment

My understanding is that the remap has coded out the sensors, but they have not removed the DPF insides and I am wondering where this will ultimately lead too?

Thanking all for your advices and I now comment: 1. The ECU Re-mapping as I understand means the ECU has now been programmed to ignore the DPF which is still intact in the exhaust line and my main concern is what happens next? 2. Service - the car has been serviced using oils to the correct specifications. 3. Diesel Fuels have been sourced from various sources, but I would hope that diesel supplies in Ireland are unlikely to be a factor. 4. Faulty Pressure sensors - can somebody let me have a recommendation for a VCDS - I have a bluethooth EODB (E Bay cheap) running on Outlis OBD Facile software version 2.52.0413. Once again thanking you

As a newbie, please excuse if I have errored in any manner of placement and or duplication and would be pleased if you can assist in any way. In early 2015, I purchased Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI with 93k and imported from the UK to Ireland. About 2 months ago at about 120k, the DPF indicator came on and I followed the driving instructions as set out in the manual. This cleared the DPF indicator, however it returned a few days later and failed to complete its regeneration and went to limp mode. I returned to the purchase (not Skoda agent) garage who advised that they had cleaned both the GRV and DPF. About a week later the DPF indicator returned and despite fairly extensive driving as set out the manual, the DPF indicator remained on. I again returned it to the garage and have now been advised that the ECU has been remapped and that I should have no further problems with the DPF indicator. Leaving aside the environmental and non-specification issues I now find myself with. If the DPF continues to collect the Diesel Particulate and these are not removed by the regeneration process – will the filter become saturated and block completely or what are the long term consequences? Thanking you

Hello all, Just joined your forum as an owner of 2011 Skoda Octavia Diesel with a fairly significant DPF problem - left into garage today for the 3rd time in the last month. Hope to seek some further assistance with understanding this problem Rayh024
