Just concerned it’s 3 weeks before VX can get it booked in, would adding a Resex DPF cleaning agent impact on my warranty?

any additive thats supposed to help in my mind is a NO NO
you might as well put lemonade in the tank
You proceed at your own risk
And also the DPF fault could be anything.
Additive is snake oil
Its like giving some one paracetamol for erectile disorder.

Update, managed to get local VX
to have a look at and everything is ok, looks like the DPF had cleaned its self 150 miles ago but for some reason the warning light would not re set, soot level was 14% which I am told is good so all is well

Dam light came back on after 2 days so again booked into to VX in December for them to keep in for up to a week and send data to VX main support to try and find out why , they think it will be ok to drive unless any further issues come up

Oh well, after the cars 4th visit to the local dealer with the light still on they decided to replace the DPF, luckily covered by warranty as parts costing just under £3k, time will tell if this ends my light woes but fingers crossed

You're correct, was the same when I looked, Vauxhall Picadors have offered there own one through WPS for £549 for 3 years, that sounds great but you have to pay the full amount up front, 1 year is £345 and 2 was £499, everything was covered inc breakdown!

Any advise, I have 24k on the clock, had it from new and still under warranty
If I were you, I might consider seeing if they'll change the DPF, while it's under warranty & hopefully you might have better luck than me.
But as for this DPF fault, I am now considering getting my ECU remapped, as I've heard that can put a stop to the DPF & Adblue problems.

So here we are at 83,000 and the dreaded EML has made a new appearance absent for such a longtime. - not missedi it! No loss in performance, maybe a slight drop in fuel economy.
Any advice on how to deal with this as economically as possible appreciated. Want to avoid Vauxhall dealer if possible as likely to be costly. Is it worthwhile buying
an OBD reader to save diagnostic costs?
Thanks for any help here.......

First point of call would be to get a code reader that can read Vauxhall error codes. There are a good number of members on here who recommend Thinkdiag. Once you get the stored error codes then take it from thereInsignia Elite Nav 2ltr SIDI Turbo 250PS, Pearlescent Emerald Green, VX-Line Interior, VX-Line Exterior Styling Kit, Premium Brandy Nappa Sports Leather, 20" Elite Multi Spoke Alloy Wheels, 8" Digital Drivers Display, Bose Premium Audio System, Front Camera Pack, Rear View Camera, Adaptive Cruise Control, Advanced Park Assist, Rear Privacy Glass, Keyless Entry & Start, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, Factory Fitted Towbar
