The partners car has been showing unblock filter for ages now i have scanned it for codes this morning and this is what i got.
P1435
P2408
P1351
Any ideas on how to fix this.
We had the elios fluid topped up last year but it didnt stop the problem.
It also hunts on idle, and feels very slugish compared to when it was new

erm, the filters probably blocked? if its too blocked to regenerate, topping up the fluid wont change a thing because its already got too bad. get a forced regeneration done on the DPF, and if its still not unblocking its new DPF time.
EDIT: the sluggishness and bad idle could also be due to the restriction in the DPF depending on how blocked it is

Could try steam cleaning it, might clear it out enough to allow regeneration.
