Engine management light

[chris5802]

Hi I’ve got a 2015 t5.1 Sportline with 64k miles the engine management light keeps coming on every 1000miles or so and when checked it points to the DPF but everything is within limits.When I look at the tail pipes they are full of soot could it be the dpf breaking down

Got a few pics?

What's the engine code? IE cfca etc?

64k miles is extremely low mileage for a 2015.

So I'm assuming lots of very short joirnies?

Or a lot of time parked up.?

If it's EU5 emmisions standard you shouldn't have soot or black smoke out the back?

I don’t know what the code is but it points to the dpf I was told it could be that it logs the fault if I interrupt the regen but the light has just come on again during a 350 mile motorway trip

the codes could relate to anything. ( sensors or readings )

you could try getting a code reader . . . that's a start.
