Holden Cruze - Limp Mode

[Jesterarts]

Yeah yeah, it's not a LS1 but it's a Holden so I figured someone might know something.

I recently purchased my fiancee a 2nd hand, manual 2009 Holden Cruze Diesel.

She's had it for 6 weeks and during that time, no issues, runs great and we've happy as Larry.

But in the last 2 weeks it's shown a code 82 four or so times. It was coming up on it's 90,000km service so I booked that in for the end of the month, cleared the code and moved on.

However, last Saturday I was picking her up from work and after about 3min of driving the car popped the 82 Code, also displayed the MIL (solid not flashing) and went into limp mode.

No other warning lights etc displayed.

I tried clearing the 82 code and also disconnecting the battery but the car is still in limp mode.

Isn't running rough, there is no smoke coming out the back, the DPF light is not on.

Any thoughts?

Cheers in advance.

Yeah, got a definate answer from the dealer.

It's DPF related but due to a few exciting factors, the DPF light never showed which was what confuse me.

Basically, code 82 in the system saying the oil needs to be changed, so when it flashed up the first time I booked the car in for a service at the end of the month. What I didn't know what that a DPF regen will not run while the system has logged that the oil needs to be changed.

This caused for the DPF to become clogged beyond it's "safe" thershold and the car went into limp.

So car needed to be serviced and have a manual DPF regen. Picking it up today. :)
