Fault code P2002 DPF filter
Recently had engine light come on plugged in diagnostic tool and came up with code P2002 which I’ve found out is for ‘DPF running inefficiently. I’ve looked up the causes which could be a simple sensor, air leak or just a clogged filter
My question is, can or should u still drive the car while I wait for it to get into a garage to have it looked at. I have a fairly long drive over the next two weeks (300 mile+) I can’t get it into a garage for another 3 weeks which is when I go away on holiday |

i would not drive as it may go into a permanent limp mode and leave you stranded somewhere far from home. the more blocked the dpf gets the less likely it will be to be remedied dose your car have the eloys system ? it may be worth calling one of the mobile dpf doctors they will come to you.

Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing the problem. I’ve heard people removing them but reading up on it it voids any insurance, it’s illegal and will fail MOT. I’m considering replacing the sensor to see if that the issue or looking at having it cleaned but from what I heard this is a temporary fix and won’t last long
Would I be better off just getting it replaced and paying a fortune |

I’m not saying that your diagnosis is wrong but I would certainly change the fuel filter before I did anything else.
Some years ago I had the same issue, a new dpf didn’t cure it , a fuel filter did.
