I got a resistor today btw-all the way from Guangzhou! Cheers

yes mmmmnnn. EGR "guaranteed" for two years since the "fix"

Globalsty. I see you have a Monte Carlo same as mine. can you confirm the part number is 6QO959263A. I ve sourced one on amazon at 7 quid from an outfit called Saite Garage. Cheers

Hi Wonky, Globalste and mrgf, thanks for your replies. The video is brilliant and shows exactly what I need to do. (Assuming I don't sell it due to the DPF issue!) Cheers.

just noticed the resistor reply- standard a/c ,four speed fan only operates on the open circuit- fifty quid at the dealer plus fitting! Its fiddling with the air bag up top that stops me doing it myself. mine has gps and media connections where access to the resistor is normally done, hence I believe I need to go in " over the top"

hi, thanks for the info. The moving it on bit is what I was thinking - sounds like the best plan- pity really as its a good car- will probably change it for a1.2 petrol. cheers

Hi , Thanks for your reply. I know why the light is coming on but I would like to know if it's something I should be concerned about. i.e. will it lead to a clogged dpf in the short medium or long term?

Hi, Apologies if this has already been asked and answered. Should I be concerned that the DPF light is coming on more regularly on my 1.6 Fabia Monte Carlo Tech (2013)? Should I buy a heater resistor pack on e bay rather than the OEM part from the dealer? Also can it be fitted safely by an amateur as I understand the airbag has to be moved allowing the resistor pack to be fitted from the top of the dash Thanks Normac1
