Hi all need some advise I have a 2010 Kuga 163 AWD and have had the engine malfunction warning light come on each time I drive it and sometimes this comes with the engine management light and sometimes just the red warning triangle, had it plugged in and have been told that the DPF filter is blocked and needs to be clean at a cost of £180 which I guess is like a Terraclean or something similar which I am happy to do if this works but would like to see if I can resolve this any other way. I have taken it for a drive at 3500 rpm for 20-25 mins to try and force a regeneration but so far the light still 're appears and as there is no way of knowing if a forced regen has happened I am at a loss of how to proceed
Any a help would be much appreciated.
