D3MT DPF part number

Post by DonFlintoni » Wed Jun 21, 2017 6:32 pm

RealOEM lists umpteen different DPF for the E90 2.0d. Anyone know which is the correct one?

I ask because im having dreaded DPF issue stemming from running on knackered glowplugs. The DPf is failing to regen now ive changed the plugs so i may need to change it out if its fully blocked.

Can't help with the Part Number but when glow plugs go the glow plug controller unit can also sometimes fail, which fails the glow plugs again. Also the filter can be taken out and flushed if it is fully blocked. Get a BMW specialist to check it out, unless you can find a deal on a new DPF, even then get the controller checked to ensure future regens will occur.

thanks for the info.

Ive had the glow plus changed but It still wont regen. Car is is back in this week to get DPF cleaned and fault codes cleared again. Hopefully this sorts the issue.

As a side, I was told my dual mass flywheel was on the way out. will also need a new clutch if thats the case. Eeek.

To be fair, Ive had 70k miles faultless driving since I bought it with 29k on the clock.
