Problems with Opel Movano 2016: Black smoke, low performance and faulty DPF regeneration

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2014 Opel Vivaro. I'm definitely not a car mechanic, but I know a bit about it. I was told that the diesel particles were defective due to high mileage. I then had it fixed at the garage. They inspected the car, then replaced the defective particulate filter. Had to pay €1550 for it. It wasn't cheap, but since then my car has been running perfectly again. Could you perhaps give me a few more details about your vehicle? It would help me to be able to help you a little better.

Hey, thanks for your answer. My Opel now has 75428 km on it and the last service was recently. I hope that helps you. It all sounds like I need to have it checked at the garage too. Although €1550 is pretty steep if it gets that far. But if it helps to get the car running again, then it's a must.

Hey, no problem. With your mileage, it could be that the particulate filter is defective. As I said, it was the same for me and the symptoms are similar to yours. The €1550 figure was at my garage, so it may be cheaper or more expensive at yours. I would definitely ask and get an estimate. It may be an unpleasant expense, but a working car is worth it, isn't it? I hope I've been able to help you.

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I think you're right, a working machine is always worth the price. I will definitely take your advice and get an estimate. Thanks again for your help, I hope this will solve my problem. See you then!

How todo the dpf with Cary? I found no part in the software where to do a regeneration.

Forced DPF regeneration is usually done through a professional diagnostic tool that most garages have. It's not typically something that can be done through a car's onboard software. I would recommend taking your car to a professional mechanic for this. They can also check if there are any other issues that might be causing your DPF problems. Please let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions.

Error code is deleted but the engine control light is still on. Lamp does not go out after clearing fault.

If the engine control light is still on after clearing the fault, it could mean that the issue causing the error code hasn't been resolved. I recommend having your car inspected by a professional mechanic to identify and fix the underlying problem. Once the issue is fixed, the light should go out. Please keep us updated on your progress and let us know if you have any other questions.
