Based on our investigations, we have discovered that the design of the vehicles is flawed, resulting in potential safety and performance problems for drivers while on the road.
Additionally, these defects may lead to increased engine wear, which could require customers to incur additional expenses for servicing, including the possibility of engine replacement. It is important to note that this issue is distinct from the previous “Diesel Gate” scandal.

What issues can I claim for?
If you answer yes to any of the below, you may have a claim up to £16,000
Reduced Engine Performance
A blocked DPF can cause the engine to lose power. You might notice that the vehicle doesn't accelerate as quickly as it used to, or it might feel sluggish and unresponsive.
Poor Fuel Efficiency
If the DPF is not working correctly, the engine may have to work harder, which can lead to increased fuel consumption.
Warning Lights
Most modern vehicles have a warning light on the dashboard that will illuminate if there's a problem with the DPF. This is often the first sign drivers notice when there's an issue.
Frequent Regeneration
If the DPF is faulty, the vehicle might attempt to regenerate the filter more frequently than normal. This can lead to increased fuel consumption and can cause the vehicle to behave differently during these periods.
Engine Damage
In severe cases, a blocked DPF can cause back pressure in the exhaust system, which can lead to engine damage. This can be a very costly problem to fix.
Forced into 'Limp Mode'
Some vehicles will go into a safety mode known as 'limp mode' if the DPF issue is severe. This mode limits the performance of the vehicle to prevent further damage, allowing you to drive to a mechanic or service center.

Why should I Claim?
Purchasing a vehicle is a significant investment, and as a buyer, you have the right to expect a certain level of performance, safety, and reliability from your vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with a faulty or badly designed Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system, it can negatively impact these expectations and lead to a host of issues which you may end up paying for.
A faulty or poorly designed DPF can lead to reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, potential safety risks, and even costly repairs or replacements. These are not just inconveniences; they can also lead to unexpected financial burdens and safety concerns.
By making a claim, you can seek compensation for these unexpected costs and inconveniences. More importantly, you can help hold the manufacturer accountable for the quality and performance of their vehicles.
