Do you know what guys i still cannot figure it out so i am just going to drive the way i always do
because the fan seems to be on all the time when i stop and i can smell a slight burning, just like the Captiva i suspect that the DPF in the Captiva is closer to the engine than the Antara's so the Captiva's is a Active regeneration process as we have never had any problems with the light coming in in the 1 year and 2 months of having the car (just the fan is always on and running fast when we stop)As for the Antara it is obvious that the DPF is lower down and causing people to worry as it is a passive regeneration process, i do not know why Vauxhall have done this in the design of this car as it is can cause future customers to be off put by this problem.
As i said my Antara seems to be the same as the Captivia as my fan is always on when i stop for at least 4/5 min and running fast as if to cool down the engine
At first i thought it was because i had my aircon on then i thought your being daft
.
I have 0nly done 745 miles in the car since 9th May 2013 but the test will be next week when we take it to Darby now that will be interesting
