Hey thanks for the answer! So my Peugeot has 59090 KM on the clock so far and otherwise runs quite smoothly. The last service was about 5000 KM ago, when all the filters were replaced. The problem only occurred in the last few weeks. I haven't made it to the garage yet, but I want to have a rough plan before I go. Your tip about the DPF sounds likely, but it's really expensive. I probably won't be able to avoid a visit to the workshop.

No problem, I'm glad if I can help. With the symptoms you describe, it sounds very much like an overload or a defect in the DPF. Given the mileage, that could be the case. Unfortunately, this is indeed an expensive matter, as I can confirm from my own experience. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend taking the car to a workshop. If the exhaust back pressure sensor really is broken, you can change it yourself, but this requires a lot of know-how and the right tools. If you are not a car mechanic, I would rather leave it to the professionals. If it's the sensor, the repair should be cheaper than a new or cleaned DPF. So cheer up! Hopefully it's nothing worse.

Hi, thanks for your other tips! Yeah, I'm not a car mechanic unfortunately, so it would probably be best to leave it to the professionals. I've also thought about replacing the sensor, but without the knowledge and tools needed to do it, I'd probably just make it worse. Your information gives me a rough idea of what I might face in the workshop. I just hope it's nothing too bad and that the repair costs, if any, are not too high. Thanks again for your help and advice! I really appreciate it.

Hi, I have some experience with cars, but I'm not a professional. Had a similar problem with my 2010 Peugeot 207 diesel, I had a severely overcharged DPF, almost exactly like your situation. I took my car to my local garage and they cleaned and replaced the DPF. It cost me 1325 euros, quite a sum! From then on it ran smoothly again. Could you tell me a bit more about your car and its history? With more information, I might be able to help you even better.
