Hi,
does anyone know where the DPF sensor is located on the 2.0 HDI . Not got a clue where to find it. Black unit with a plug connection on it and two tubes sticking out. grateful for any advice as getting warning triangle and message saying dpf is at risk of blocking!

Have you taken the car for a good blast in lower gear forth or third keeping within the speed limit as to get the exhaust cat hot as to burn out all the soot and cleans out the exhaust.. Hdi if driving short journeys needs this doing from time to time and all should be OK.
Hope this helps you out
Drive safe and stay lucky 🍀

You can clean out the sensor (youtube video) the pipes usually run as in the diagram look for the cat then trace back to the position of the sensor this is all I have on file not sure if its for your car though but it will be same set up
