Hi again,
The vehicle is a 2008 Cdi 313 panel van conversion to a motorhome.
Having now learned from you guys that starting my vehicle once a month during a winter layup is not a good idea, I am still faced with the amber engine light flashing, which started while moving the vehicle during a blizzard.
I purchased an icarsoft MBii and initially it was throwing up the codes P2455 and P1955, with an occasional P1405.
I had little choice but to take the vehicle on a 850 mile trip, and lived in the hope maybe things would come good but alas no.
The vehicle ran most of the time with a lack of power but would maintain 75mph on fairly level highway all be it fairly slow to get it there, and down to 4th gear on motorway hills.
From a warm start up on two occasions during the trip, the flashing light changed to constant, during which time the engine ran as normal with normal power. On stopping the engine to park up, the vehicle went back to it's semi limp mode state again.
Having familiarised myself with the MBii a little more, I found a page suggesting the last re-gen was 29,000 km's ago. Does this indicate a fault on the re-gen side as well as possibly being a DPF issue or, does it suggest a re-gen has not been needed.
Would love to get things back to normal again if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
regards, Paul.
