Hi Pug Pals,
I recently purchased a 4007 (2011 Diesel). It was going swimmingly the most powerful car I had ever owned! A week or so post purchase, I noticed it would jerk a little. A month passed and the DPF warning started popping up on the dash. Shortly after, on a long drive to Sydney from the Central Coast, the car could not keep up the revs - dropping down gears only impeded speed. A mechanic had a look at it but didn't seem to think it needed replacing but found the adblue bladder was leaking and replaced that instead. The warning light for the DPF stopped popping up but driving back to the Blue Mountains the car lost it's ability to maintain revs when I hit the bottom of the first hill. I struggled all the way up to Katoomba. Momentum helped and changing out of low gears as soon as possible helped too.
Has anyone had this problem before? Had any ideas? Have any recommendations for mechanics in the Blue Mountains (I have booked in with Bohman Automotive).
