I see your point. However, when I was driving on the German Autobahn, the soot buildup not only slowed down but reversed. The first arrow shows when I started the trip, and the second arrow shows when I ended it. Due to the high speed (90 mph+) on the motorway, the soot level ended up being the...

My understanding is that if I were to drive my car exclusively on the motorway, at 70 mph for 1 hour every single day, and provided I never encountered any traffic, not a single active regeneration would be necessary to stop the soot from increasing, as the car would be able to clear any...

Hi @marjon, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I don't see how the driver is at fault when the car is driven on a motorway for over an hour, yet passive regeneration does nothing to the increasing soot level. Here, I present three more examples of my car not being able to perform an...

Thanks for the constructive feedback! I needed to create a website based on my research because it is difficult to summarise over 200 trips in a forum post. It is much easier to present recorded trip data on an interactive chart. If you visit my site, you will find all the information I...

Are you suggesting that the only solution to fix the problem with my Land Rover's DPF is to commit a criminal offence?

Except when they are not. As you can clearly see from either the document I linked above (D8 Dilution Explained) or the recordings I have made, no matter how long you drive on the motorway at 70 mph, the DPF will not perform passive regeneration due to the exhaust gas temperature not being high...

Searching for "dpf blocked" returns over 100 results on this forum alone, so I do believe that many people are affected by this issue. Googling for "land rover dpf class action" also brought up quite a few results: - https://jlryouoweus.co.uk/ -...

Thank you both for your valuable and constructive feedback. I can see that neither of you is affected by the DPF issues present on D8 vehicles, which is excellent! If that is the case, please look away and leave some free space on this forum for those who are (un)fortunate enough to own such...

Thanks for your feedback. What makes you classify my research into the DPF issue as "spam"?

The DPF on my Land Rover Discovery Sport 2017 got blocked and had to be replaced (£2000+), a problem that seems to be affecting many of us. I found out there was a class action lawsuit against Land Rover for faulty DPF construction, and I wanted to get proof of whether my car was also affected...
