Yep ... that's what we did. I bought the car a few months ago (2nd hand from a dealer) and after a while, the warning light came on displaying
engine failure and the car went tnto 'limp mode'!!!
Very scary at the time but having searched the internet and read all manner of horror stories about the cost of fixing it, we decided to do it ourselves.
We used some Wynn's particulate filter cleaner stuff, tried to do a regen
and eventually drove a fair distance on the motorway etc.
'Himself' got a diagnostic programme to use with a laptop, plugged it into the car and the filter is fine now. Can't remember the original reading but it was quite alarming.
