1️⃣DPF warning light + engine warning light.
2️⃣Loss of power(wasn't exceeding 20km/h).
3️⃣Engine cutting off from time to time especially when the accelator pedal was released.
4️⃣Overheating,illuminating the overheating warning light[🌡️] (this was due to the blocked DPF,to be explained on the next post)

The vehicle left our workshop yesterday after a power restoration exercise with the following results:
✅DPF light OFF(after a proper DPF REMOVAL/DELETE exercise)
✅Engine warning light OFF
✅Lots of power
✅Monster acceleration

●a clogged DPF inhibits the scavenging of exhaust gases from the engine's cylinders.
●ineffective scavenging of exhaust gases from the cylinders means the exhaust gases will stay longer before getting expelled.
●exhaust gases carry lots of heat with them.
●the heat in the trapped exhaust gases(because of the clogged diesel particulate filter) can cause the engine's temperature to rise up to undesirable and potentially dangerous levels.
●continued driving under such conditions leads to excessive to overheating and a blown head gasket.
●the cost of replacing the headgasket is something you wouldn't want to deal with

-ANSWER :
1️⃣)metal coolant bypass pipe(GENUINE) before the plastic one gets to leak:
•if one waits for the plastic bypass pipe to fail,there'll be definite coolant leaks.
•coolant leaks definitely lead to overheating.
•overheating definitely leads to a blown headgasket.
•a blown head gasket definitely leads to a FOUR FIGURE REPAIR bill or the car will be thrown into the JUNKYARD.
2️⃣)coolant temperature gauge:
•most of the 2017 models,the 2016 models and before NEVER came with factory COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGES.
•without a temperature gauge onboard,your SKYACTIV-D can overheat and blow the headgasket without notifying you as the overheating warning light finds it normal to HIDE even if the engine coolant temperature shoots up as high as 124°C🔥

1️⃣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 DPF warning light + engine warning light
2️⃣Slow/sluggish acceleration.
3️⃣Overheating,illuminating the overheating warning light[🌡️] (this was due to the blocked DPF,to be explained on the next post)

The vehicle was test-driven over a distance of more than 150km(HIGHWAY) after a power restoration exercise with the following results:
✅DPF light OFF(after a proper DPF REMOVAL/DELETE exercise)
✅Engine warning light OFF
✅Lots of power
✅Monster acceleration
✅Normal engine coolant temperature
The vehicle also got an engine coolant temperature gauge for the purposes of monitoring the coolant temperature(the vehicle's owner requested that the coolant temperature gauge be installed).
