Thanks, very useful information.
Then I was told wrong by the Mercedes Benz dealer. He told me that the DPF was the #18+19 in this schematic.
Can some of the tubes be clogged and not letting the sensor to read the pressure difference and not allowing the DPF self cleaning not to work?
Anyway, I should then remove and clean or replace the DPF who has the tubes on it, correct?
