Problems with Toyota Auris 2016: Black smoke, loss of power and loud exhaust - defect in the diesel particulate filter?

Hey guys, I'm having problems with my Toyota Auris (built in 2016, diesel). Recently there is black smoke when accelerating and the check engine light indicates that something is wrong. There is also a noticeable loss of power and a strong smelling, loud exhaust. I suspect a defect in the diesel particulate filter, but I'm not sure. Has anyone else had problems like this and can tell me how it was solved at the garage? I am open to any advice. Many thanks in advance!

Summary of the thread

A Toyota Auris 2016 diesel is experiencing black smoke, loss of power, and a loud exhaust, with a suspected defect in the diesel particulate filter (DPF). The symptoms align with a potentially defective DPF, which can occur around 120,000 km, depending on driving habits and regeneration frequency. The suggested solution is to have the DPF checked and possibly replaced at a garage to restore performance and prevent further damage.

Hi, I'm not an expert in the automotive sector, but I have had similar experiences with my Toyota Yaris (built in 2014, diesel). The problem was also a defective diesel particulate filter (DPF internally defective). I took it to my garage as I have little experience with car repairs. They replaced the DPF and unfortunately it cost 1550 euros. It's like new again and runs perfectly. To give you more details, it would be helpful if you could tell me more about your vehicle, especially regarding mileage and last service. Hope this helps you!

Hello, thanks for the quick reply! My Auris has 127516 KM on the clock and the last service was around 10,000 KM ago. I will follow your advice and take the car to the garage to have the DPF checked. 1550 euros is a lot of money, but if it solves the problem, it would probably be worth it. Thanks again for the help!

Hey, no problem, I'm glad I could help you with my experience. The number of kilometers is a good indication of the service life of a DPF. They can normally last up to 120000 km, but that depends on how often the regeneration takes place and how the car is driven. In the long run, it will probably be best to change the DPF to avoid further damage or loss of performance. Good luck at the garage and let's hope it's nothing more serious! Please let us know what the mechanic says. Have a safe journey!

Hi, thanks for your valuable advice. It makes sense that the DPF may have reached the end of its life. I'll definitely keep you posted and also hope it's nothing more serious. I'm a bit reassured now. Thanks again for your help, really kind of you! See you soon!
