Error code: P253F-00 - engine oil dilution

A few days ago my Q11 1.5 dCi had the check engine light come on. I don't have a scanner, so took it to my local independent garage who reported the code P253F-00 - engine oil dilution . Two months ago my car had an issue relating to the DPF. The sensor was deemed faulty and replaced and a force reg...

Re: J11 QQ DPF regen

Spoke to the mechanic, he reckons it's the sensor is too blocked so needs replacing. So going to get that seen to.

Re: J11 QQ DPF regen

So I've just come to work this morning and driven above 3k rpm and >50mph for 30-40 mins (albeit interrupted by traffic at times), but the light is still on. If it doesn't clear on my journey home guessing the garage will have to do it manually?

J11 QQ DPF regen

Apologies if the answers I need are covered in existing posts, I had a quick search but hoping someone can advise me more directly. I've had my pre facelift J11 1.5dci for a couple of months now, and although I commute 27 miles each way with most of it on the motorway, I've noticed an orange engine ...

How to stop A/C coming on automatically?

So we're in this period where mornings are still cool and requires some heating, but in the afternoons driving home from work the car's had time to warm up in the sun. Is it possible to turn the temperature down to 'Lo' without the A/C coming on and fan going up to full blast automatically?

Re: 1.5 dci fuel range

Sounds about right. Tank capacity is about 12 gallons so assuming that's only about 11 gallons usable and at 50mpg that's 550miles. What sort of consumption were you expecting. I'd be happy with mid-50s, on the basis of most of my commute being on the motorway and hearing of a few owners "easi...

1.5 dci fuel range

I've recently bought a J11 QQ with the 1.5 dci in manual. When I picked it up I partial filled it from about quarter tank to around half so I could get it home, before running it down and this morning I've just done my first fill until full. The predicted range has come up as 582 miles. I know the p...
