Thanks for the feedback : but if it was the DPF, I imagine that they would clearly state DPF, or other such nomenclature. As it stands, the report purely stated :

"Diesel System Cleaner" ... with the status flagged as Amber.

When I phoned them the next day, I was verbally advised that this means a recommendation to add some system cleaner.

That said : I am interested in the DPF .... is there a sign of it needing replacement? Black smoke? Anything else? Cheers.
