Thank-you.
I did once yes when the oil had over a 1lt of diesel in it. I always check the oil after a DPF sensor issue if the level is ok and there is no smell of diesel then I wait till service.

Wonder that will show up then if DPF removed.
Which issues did they have after a remap?
I'm also thinking about remap and I'm afraid of DPF problems.

Must admit that they were quite comfortable seats & I am glad that that they have been retrofitted in such a short space of time, never had any problems with heated seats turning off & at least they have found a good home.

Well I have some parts in ready for the next retrofit.
The plan is EPB & Flex-ride.
I have the EPB module which has been tucked up in the loft for a little while.
And I have the shocks for the flex-ride, had to buy some additional sensors, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. kindly donated a flex-ride loom that he had.

I have a question regarding how did you get the power fold mirrors to work with locking/ unlocking the car rather than manually?
