    Many of those fault codes relate to the Diesel Particulate Filter (according to FaultCodes.co) and other systems around the components that attempt to clean the exhaust from a diesel engine.

    A common issue with diesel engines is that they don’t get run on long enough journeys to clean out the DPF, a very expensive part to fit. Some owners of diesel engine cars recommend keeping the revs high for a while on longer journeys – as the heat caused by this will activate the DPF  cleaning cycle and fix this problem for you.
