Re: Diesel particulate filter?

I haven't checked the fuse, but the red light on the galletto connector works. The connector gets very warm during use, and I don't think the power necessary to produce that heat can come from a USB port. Rather I think there is a fault in the serial/usb converter with heat being either the cause or...

Re: Diesel particulate filter?

Well, the second attempt with the Galletto was also unsuccessful.
I'll be trying to get a replacement unit asap.

Thanks for all your help so far, guys. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Re: Diesel particulate filter?

PM returned. The mechanical side of the job is now complete. At least the car wants to go now, up to 3000rpm anyway. I am guessing that installing the modified ECU file won't clear the fault codes and limp mode; is this correct? I will probably invest in a PP2000 anyway since my existing OBD reader ...

Re: Diesel particulate filter?

Yes, I copied the contents of the cd onto the desktop, and ran the software from there.
There was no file created in the location I specified, even on the one occasion it reached 75%.

I will have another go tonight.

Re: Diesel particulate filter?

Thanks for the info, Jon.
I'll be on the lookout for a replacement display and remote.
The particulate filter is being removed today, then I just need to get my galletto working...

Re: Diesel particulate filter?

Doggy, Thanks for your pm. I tried to reply, but the message is stuck in my outbox, not in sent items. Briefly, I had issues with reading my ecu file via galletto last night. 75% of the way through copying the file it threw up an error on the pc software. The airbag light also came on during the cop...

Re: Diesel particulate filter?

Well how about that. I've had this one for about 2 years now, and now I really want a TR6!

Re: Diesel particulate filter?

I've actually booked it in at my local garage tomorrow morning for the exhaust work. He says he's done quite a few before, so it shouldn't take him long. Yes, that's my Stag. It's quite a nice one, without being so perfect that you're scared to use it. The best thing about it, though, is most defini...

Re: Diesel particulate filter?

That's good to know. The Galletto just arrived, so I'll see if I can get it working before wasting anyone's time with PMs. I'll take some pictures this afternoon. This is the first diesel car I've ever owned, so I'm on a bit of a learning curve. Usually I prefer large petrol engines, but a new busin...

Re: Diesel particulate filter?

Thanks for the replies. Then I think I will set to and remove the filter. Does anybody have problems passing the smoke test at MoT time after doing this? I was planning to do the software myself, so the offer of a replacement file is interesting to me. Can new members use the PM system straight away...

Diesel particulate filter?

Hi. I just joined the forum as I have recently acquired an '02 plate 406 2.2 hdi. The car arrived with issues - sorry to be another newbie instantly wanting advice! I have a plan of action, but would appreciate input from you guys to confirm I am going about this in the correct way. The main problem...
