Hey, thanks for your quick reply! It's really reassuring to know that someone had the same problem. Do you happen to remember how many euros you had to pay for it? And was there anything else besides the sensor and the DPF that might have caused the problem? I'd be really pleased if you remember that.

Hey, sure, no problem, I'm happy to help! So, the problem with the exhaust back pressure sensor was fixed the last time I was at the mechanic. After that was done, the DPF regeneration ran normally again. And as for the cost, I had to fork out a total of €1325 to fix the severely overcharged DPF. It's not exactly cheap, but better to pay that than risk engine damage, right? As far as I can remember, there were no other problems apart from the sensor and the DPF. Hope this helps you, take care!

Oh man, that's quite a sum... But you're absolutely right, in a situation like that it's better to spend money as a precaution than to have major damage later. So better to do it right once than to pay twice later because of a broken engine. I can't thank you enough, this information has really helped me. I will probably make an appointment with the mechanic as soon as possible. Take good care of yourself!

Hey, that sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my 2014 Toyota Auris, my car also showed DPF error codes and had loss of power. The mechanic explained to me that my DPF was severely overcharged. It was quite serious as it meant the filter was completely blocked and could be damaging my engine. This was due to a faulty exhaust back pressure sensor. Once this was fixed, the DPF regeneration went back to normal. So I would say it's definitely a problem you should pay attention to. On my Auris it was a problem with the sensor and possibly a heavily overcharged DPF like yours. I hope this helps you a bit. Just don't wait too long!
