Angry mazda dpf querys

Hi

New here wondering if you guys could perhaps help me. I bough a mazda 3 2.2 disesl 2014 saloon with 128000 on the clock with full service history from mazda only six months ago. Now just before Christmas I got four errors appearing on my screen in the car from engine management to tcps malfunction, scsb malfunction and another error so four in total. So I took it to my guy and hooked up to OB2 reader and it came up with a pressure sensor fault. Now was told the pressure sensor was a modified sensor and could only be got from Mazda themselves and paid over two hundre for the part and what ever else to in labour. Now before that all came about they changed the oil first saying that there was a slight raise in the oil and that the car had been trying to regen but had fail and had lead diseal into the sump just was the cheaper option but it didn't work. So moving on the lads the part is replaced but the pipe leading to the dpf is completey blocked now I only done 8000 miles since getting the car but was told the dpf should not have any issues when buying it as was told it was fine.


Wondering would 8000 miles enough to clogged pipes. I drive on average 50 miles a day average 70-80 mph. Any one offer any help.

That sensor is definitely very old and a very old version, later versions had coloured dots, followed by a orange moulded cap, followed by a solid steel modified sensor ( kit #SHY6-18-W00 )

Both of your codes relate to the exhaust pressure sensor, you will need to replace it with part #SHY6-18-W00

Picture of new sensor, courtesy of google images https://www.fox.rzeszow.pl/czujnik-c...,305636,305635


The two pipes you speak of are for monitoring pressure difference in the DPF.

Also, when did you vehicle last go to Mazda for a PCM/ECU software update? These motors need up to date software for efficient running.


I've replaced alot of these sensors since the launch of the SH Skyactiv diesel engines in 2013 -
