Hi all,
Apologies if this has been asked before. I have a 2019 Trafic from new. Since last April I’ve started to get the Check Injection warning followed by engine management light. Took it into local dealers to be told it was caused by oil dilution and my service would fix it. It did for a month or so but came back again. At that time I also noticed I was using an awful lot of oil. Literally topping every week or so despite no patches under van or smoke from it burning off. Again they carried out a diagnostic and said oil dilution. I asked why the oil was low when dilution should cause it to increase? Basically fobbed me off. Anyway we move on a few weeks. STOP light comes on. Call out the RAC he tells me the DPF isn’t regenerating as I’d suspected. He forced one that went to 100% but still showed as failed on his system. For the next few weeks it drove like a racing car most responsive it’s ever been. Fast forward a few weeks and the Check Injection message is back and the engine light with check emissions. I took it to my pal who’s a mechanic as I’m sick of being stitched up at the dealers and the problem not being identified. So far he’s changed the oil and cleaned the oil pressure sensor I think. Ran well for 3 weeks now it’s back again. Obviously the dpf isn’t regenerating but I don’t understand why the oil is being used so fast when everything I’ve learned says oil dilution means the oil rises with added fuel after a failed regen? Hope that makes sense I’m at my wits end. It may be two separate issues I have or could the dpf problems cause me to use a lot of oil?
Thanks all 👍🏻
