Seat Leon Hybrid Smoke and DPF Issues

My 2020 Seat Leon hybrid is showing a warning light. Getting smoke when accelerating and the DPF won't regenerate. Mileage is 165541 km. I suspect the exhaust back pressure sensor. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my Leon. Same symptoms too. Have you checked the exhaust pressure sensor? That was the culprit in my case. Does your car have issues with emission control as well?

Where is the pressure sensor located in the exhaust system exactly? And was your car also producing smoke?

Yes, mine was smoking too, especially on acceleration. The pressure sensor is part of the exhaust system, you will see it before the DPF. I would recommend getting it checked at a workshop.

Took it to the garage. The exhaust back pressure sensor was faulty. Replaced it and the DPF is now regenerating correctly. Total cost 245€ thanks for the advice.
