    Yeah. We couldn't as we transport my sister in law in a wheel chair.

    I hope that is all that is wrong. Looking at a dpf /egr delete when the funds allow.

    So got the van back but feels like it's running low or no boost. Where it used to chug along in 5th, it's now in 4th and revving it's tits off.

    Just drove Sydney Culburra Canberra, averaged 12l/100 to Culburra picked up a camper trailer, jumped to 14 and couldnt get up the hill to Goulburn with 2 adults, 2 kids and fairly empty trailer/van without struggling to get over 110kmh on the uphill.

    Is there a way to check if both turbo are working?

    It also has a dpf light on. It's come on before during Hwy driving but usually gone off. Now it's on about 5 mins from starting and stays on. I know if it stays on the dpf is stuffed, could this be the problem with the power? If so anyone know of a good dpf/egr delete in Sydney?

    Sounds like you on the right track ours was making the same sound , just took a few minutes to feel around each hose especially near where they connect to a plastic connector which was where ours was leaking . Hope thats the same result for you , those hoses exposed to high temps will over time become brittle and will split easily if disturbed .

    Just had a flashing glow plug light and no boost. Stopped and turned the car off and on and cleared, now I have boost (albeit still less than normal). Any ideas? Going to go back to the mechanic tomorrow or so.

    Apparently dpf was blocked. Anyone know where to get a dpf delete? Might as well do an egr delete as well.

    Not sure about Aussie suppliers but plenty out of England , apparently you will need someone to reprogram the computer otherwise it will throw an engine fault light without the DPF . By the way what size engine 2.0 litre or the 2.5 ? pre the update or post update .Here you go plenty to choose from .https://www.darksidedevelopments.co....ection=product

    Could an exhaust shop make it up? It's just a section of pipe with flanges isn't it?

    Yeah, I know about reprogramming.. Might be able to reprogram my stupid wipers that don't intermittent wipe even with slamming the bonnet and the light bulb error.
