Hello, I am experiencing the same problem here. I have replaced all the components you specified, and no intake leak was detected during smoke and pressure testing. The vehicle is a W204 OM651 220CDI. Mileage: 220,000. The DPF has been regenerated, and post-regeneration, the DPF fill level is at 15%. However, after driving 100 km, it increases to 55%. The greatest pressure differential at full speed is 270 mbar. The problem is not persistent; it manifests only sometimes. The injectors have been removed and are presently on the test bench, exhibiting comparable results. Any suggestions?

Indeed, I have recently been studying the process of Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration. It has come to my attention that in the event of a failure, the surplus fuel that is injected during the regeneration process might potentially accumulate in the engine oil sump. I will monitor it closely.

That seems to resemble black magic! Is it possible for the oil level to grow spontaneously? What is its origin? I possess a substantial amount of knowledge to acquire. 🙂

Impressive! Thank you, that is comforting. I will assume that it was just neglected during the last modification and thoroughly review everything once again on my own.

Greetings, everyone. I have had my vehicle for about one month, during which I have engaged in a combination of short trips and longer journeys. Upon purchasing the automobile, I discovered that it had an incomplete service history. As a result, I have just performed an oil and filter replacement. Upon completing the oil exchange, I discovered that around 10 litres of oil had been drained from the engine. Upon refilling the container and regularly monitoring the dipstick, it required around 8 litres of liquid to reach the maximum level. Considering the excessive filling of the item for a minimum of one month, and perhaps since the last documented maintenance service around one year ago, are there any potential issues or attempts by the sellers to conceal any problems that I should be aware of?

It seems that a significant number of automobiles will not be equipped with turning capabilities in the future.

Any Updates

I see, that's OK.

It would be possible, but at great expense; I could go there and back in my own vehicle and acquire what I need with the money I save.

Most likely, but I'll check. An older E46 330d auto wagon/estate is what I'm wanting, however the closest one I can afford is 300 miles away. Since I'm not very good at riding trains or buses, I usually hit the road with a buddy, but they've stopped doing that since it's too far. Until something more convenient comes along, maybe I should wait.

Funny, I was just about to inquire about the Universal brand and its familiarity with the public. 185HR15s were the largest size I could find, and I didn't recognize the brand. I appreciate your help.

It seems that there are no Vredestein 185R15 tires available in the United States; I checked with Coker, Summitracing, Universal, Lucas Classic, etc. I've been told variously that we don't know when they'll arrive, that it'll be a few months, and that manufacturing problems mean I won't be able to buy them until midway through 2017. Now it appears like I'll have to settle with tracking down some 185/70R15 tires.

I appreciate your reply. The 185HR15 Dunlops I got online for $370 were more expensive than the 185VR15 Pirellis I had a few years ago by $9. I'm not acquainted with Vredestein, but I'll investigate your recommendation. The vehicle originally came with steel wheels, so I don't believe the additional 3/4" of rear clearance is a problem, but I'll double-check. Please accept my sincere appreciation

It is now time to begin tire purchasing. The originals had a diameter of 26.5 inches and a width of 7.28 millimeters, or 185R15. Currently, I am unable to rationalize spending $380 for a single tire of that size. Which current standard size is best? The most probable sizes are 195/70R15 (25.8 x 7.68) or 205/70R15 (26.3 x 8.07). Despite the 205 being the closest diameter, I've heard that installing bigger tires might have a negative impact on steering and handling. Is there any practical use for an extra 3/4" of width? Thanks
