Problem with a SAAB 9-3 1.9 TTiD 2010 82k

Vehicle running in limp mode and engine management light on due to Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) blockage. Unable to carry out forced regeneration due to excessively blocked DPF.

The fault was cured by removing the DPF and manually cleaning with Forté DPF Off-Car Cleaner as per instructions. The DPF was then regenerated and reset using diagnostic equipment and taken on an extended road test with the vehicle power and performance restored.
