Hi Mark
the problem that you have is not caused by hardware, it is a software bug, know fixes and bulletin mentioned it clearly. you need to arrange for appointment to the dealer for software update. GOOD LUCK
this is a complex car, and engines. Just 1 code? and no pendings? A DIESEL engine , and in USA , are ya> or in Canada?
the shop manual for all complex cars, is a must have.
P2 codes are factory codes, unique to only Suzuki , so use their books. alldata dot com has it.
"Particulate Trap Efficiency Below Threshold Malfunction " but cleaning it , is not the only way to fix it. the manual covers this, and how the test works and what can make it fail, simple swaps or cleans dont always work. RTM please.
The DPF is designed to be self-cleaning to a certain extent if the engine is run for a good length of time the deposits should burn off. I would kick up a fuss with Audi about the warranty, ask them to show its exclusion. Unless the DPF has become physically damaged by something you have done then they need to have it fixed as it is a result of the deficiency in their design. This is not like some damaged tyre, open to abuse by the driver, the DPF is integral to the vehicle operation and through no commission on your part it is not functioning as it should.
Hello. The DPF is a Catalytic Converter for diesel engines. Traditional Catalytic Convertors are used in Gas Engines. The dealer gave you a "Dealer Specific" engine code. If you used a regular code reader you would see code P2002, which means. Error Code P2002 is defined as Diesel Particulate Filter Efficiency below Threshold Bank 1, which refers to an issue in the efficiency of the particulate filter in the exhaust, which is most likely caused by faulty filter or sensor, or exhaust leak.
The garage is trying to provide you with a quick estimate. The Dealer follows test procedures that Toyota makes available to their technicians. There is a lot going on here and there may be more to come. Depending on mileage, on-time maintenance, condition of fuel system (fuel pressure or injector failure) and engine (blow-by and compression). Your Particulate filter may be fine (electrical component failure), may have wore out or was plugged up due to an engine issue (Fuel injector/s or oil consumption). I hope this helps. Please write back if you have more questions.
