DPF Sensor

Post by Kr1s »

Hi,

I've been needing to replace my DPF sensor as my car has gone into limp mode and I have the part (https://www.autodoc.es/bosch/665279?gsh ... tsQAvD_BwE) but I have no idea where it's located on the car.

Anyone have an idea of where it is?

Ah I see, your steering wheel is on the wrong side.

look on the other side, on the firewall between the engine and the cabin

would be nice if you could post some pictures of its actual location, thanks

Wooo thank you! :D Finally found it.


Now, should I be concerned that one of the hoses ends right there?
