Check engine Auris 2010 1.4D
Good evening Toyota owners!
I hope someone can help me here. I need a second opinion. I have already 2 years problems with the check engine light on my Toyota Auris 2010 1.4 Diesel (110.000 km). The car drives normal with enough power and suddenly the check engine lights comes on. The power is reduced a lot at the moment the light lights up. The local mechanic says it's a problem with the DPF. But the car drives normal with enough torque and power when the light is off? I can't believe that
My mechanic went with the car to the local Toyota dealer. The Toyota dealer said that the error code was related to the DPF but I still don't know the exact error code... The dealer did 2 times a forced regeneration but he said that it was not guaranteed that the problem was solved with this regeneration. He said when the error shows up again I need to replace the DPF. This is a very costly replacement. My mechanic told me that there also "unofficial" DPF's out there. Is this a possible solution
