Hi all, im new on the forum. Basically i was just looking for a bit of help or advice, basically my mazda 3 sport 57 plate 2.0 diesel is having some problems, my dashboard is like Blackpool illuminations, i have the dpf light on again despite replacing this 8 months ago, and more to my concern i have an orange light its the back of a car with some squiggly lines below in, its the dcs light apparently. can anyone help me in particular to the dsc problem, having delt with the dpf last year i think im pretty clued up with that.

Many thanks

The dreaded check engine light comes on while you are driving only to signify that there is a problem. The specific error or failing part could be one of many different things that the computer senses for to help narrow down the problem.

Check Engine Light:
