Nissan Note DPF Issue

Sounds rough. Had something similar happen to my Note. Reduced power and smoke are classic signs. Have you checked your fuel efficiency lately? Mine dropped like a rock when I had DPF issues. Might be worth getting a vehicle inspection too.

Thanks for the insight. Could you elaborate on the specific symptoms you encountered? Did your vehicle exhibit similar levels of smoke during acceleration? Did a diagnostic scan confirm the DPF issue?

Yeah, the smoke was pretty bad when I put my foot down - embarrassing, really. The diagnostic scan straight up said it was the DPF. Head to a decent workshop, they'll be able to tell you straight away if it's the same issue. Cost me a bomb to sort out.

Appreciate you sharing your experiences. Based on your suggestions and the workshop's diagnostic, it seems I have a defective DPF. The repair cost, including filter replacement, is estimated at approximately 1550€. Thanks again for the prompt response and guidance; I'll investigate DPF cleaning as an option for future maintenance.
