If you reset the battery will you not wipe the codes making it harder to get a diagnosis??
Just a thought.

I feel that our motorhome is an oldie , 2012. We have never had a car as old as that. When we were buying it I kept thinking, ''how are we spending so much money on something so old??'' It just seemed such a lot, but couldn't get newer or better as we were not willing to spend more.Im glad I've got an oldie
I meant a real oldie before electronics took over. My old girl Ada is 30 years yours is not a teenager yetI feel that our motorhome is an oldie , 2012. We have never had a car as old as that.

Problem is when you buy something so far away, The dealer can either keep it for months or its a simple thing, scary, sorry to read your troubles.I think Carolina is Essex based and was going to Worthing on the 26 th July for extras to be fitted, I would insist the dealer that sold me the van sorted out getting it fixed regardless of the insurance based warranty. Could recovery take it to Worthing (If the garage there will except it for extra repair work) and then bill the dealer. ?

That’s exactly what it was with mine, we were heading in our first trip in my new to me mh. Dealer was great had it back - replaced the valve and no further problems . They said if couldn’t get it back to them take it to a dealer and they would pay.You just need someone to plug a code reader into the opd port It’s odds on to be an issue with emissions control equipment as with that very low mileage in the past nearly ten years the emissions stuff can and does get gummed up.

Look at your documents and see if you can contact the previous owner as it may have been a problem for them. They may give you some valuable info.We have booked it in for Friday. Hope we can get it there ok and that they can do it that day so we can go to worthing to get our gas it installed.
I often get the DPF warning light come on in my car. We only use it to pop around locally so filter gets made up quickly. I take it for a quick 15/20 min blast on the Mway and hey presto. We call it the "old fart light"It is possible that the DPF need regerating again, we had a school minibus that just did short journeys, limp mode came on regularly, kept taking it back to the garage. Finally took it out for a burn down the 45 ourselves eveytime it came on to get the engine good and hot and that did the trick. Vehicles with DPF really don't like regular short journeys. Good luck with your van, hope problem resolved soon and you can start enjoying it.

Someone is telling you nonsense. Supermarkets don't refine fuel and the fuel they supply is just the same as the petrol stationsWe were told that supermarket diesel could be the problem with the newer vans, the systems are so sensitive, plus can clog up the ECU stuff. Either use the better diesel, or put diesel additive in tank. Give it a good run down motorway as it should help keep ECU cleaner, apparently does clean itself (?) every so often, but you need to go a good run regularly. Not an expert but all info gleaned from this site !!
Couldn’t agree more….try following the same petrol tanker after it’s been to your local Sainsbury’……next stop is probably the Esso or BP garage round the corner!Someone is telling you nonsense. Supermarkets don't refine fuel and the fuel they supply is just the same as the petrol stations

We have no gas bottles or regulator and can't get one, so want to get gas it fitted so we can use van.Sorry to read of your tale of woe but you do seem to focussing on the appointment for a "gas system" to be fitted. If you have a single bottle or a just a wallmounted gas reg then you dont NEED rush.

Best of luck. We've had 4 different garages trying to work out the same problem as yours. We've learnt to live with it. If the red light comes on just go down a gear and slow down. Works for us.We have no gas bottles or regulator and can't get one, so want to get gas it fitted so we can use van.
Have booked it in to garage for diagnosis and hopefully repair Friday.
Oh no! We can hardly slow down more as we can only go about 20mph, unless downhill.Best of luck. We've had 4 different garages trying to work out the same problem as yours. We've learnt to live with it. If the red light comes on just go down a gear and slow down. Works for us.
