Thanks JR That gives me something to go with when I contact Skoda again. Really appreciate your help thank you.

Yes it does drink add blue at the normal rate.

Hi JR Cheers for your post, will admit didn't quite understand it all. The car was only just over a year old when I bought it from Skoda, so don't think the dpf has been messed with and can't see any welding down the back of what I can see. Would you mind simplyfing which readings are off and what the should be reading so I can go back to Skoda on this one. Cheers.

Cheers for help but have tried all off the above, it does do a lot of regens every day which does make it produce more exhaust fumes and not just a smell of the exhaust getting hot but raw exhaust fumes. I do around 200 miles a day mix of motorway and other driving as I'm a taxi driver. Funny thing when Skoda sold it to me they let it slip that they had only just sold it to another customer but she returned the car. Asked why he said oh I think she didn't like the colour. What a load of crap they knew this had problems but thought they'd just palm it off on another customer. My fault for buying blind.😡

Have checked pretty much everything I can only smell I can smell is by the spindle coming out the turbo when under the bonnet which is why I'm thinking dpf might be blocked. Also mpg is only about 38mpg. Could be the last owner did a lot of stops starts.

Definitely coming from my car can smell when I'm only person driving on the road. Can sometimes smell it getting out the car. Had various dealers say they have looked at exhaust system but can't find any leaks. 17k on clock when purchased 6 months ago 36k on clock now. fumes slightly better but still there. Thinking main dealer don't want to pay and fit new dpf. Ideally would like to know what that soot reading means.

Hi all, can anyone make sense of my dpf soot reading from main dealer as I had it booked in for intermittent fumes in car only to be told on test drive they couldn't smell fumes in car. However I did ask for the soot reading but I can't make out if it's blocked or ok. I'm thinking it's blocked and back pressure is causing fumes out the spindle coming out the turbo. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All, can anyone help I bought a superb 2022 2.0tdi about 6 months ago and keep getting intermittent fumes in car which I do believe are exhaust fumes. Been to 2 dealers and they say can't smell anything on test drive so on your way. I believe the smell is coming from the spindle coming out the turbo caused by back pressure from the exhaust/dpf. The mpg is around 38mpg mix of town and motorway. I did ask for the dpf soot reading which I will try to post. Just wondering if anyone can make sense of the reading whether it's ok or blocked. Any help will be appreciated thanks.
