Hey guys,

I bought a used Ford Kuga 136BHP (2008) earlier this year. It has got about 130k km (apron. 80k miles) on at the moment. Although I've heard something of this DPF issue earlier, haven't had any issue since I bought it (did apron. 12k km with a combination of short round the town drives and longer trips of apron. 150-200km each).

I live in Slovakia and am on holiday now (in Croatia). Today the orange engine light came on and has remained so ever since. Went to the nearest garage (not a licensed Ford service). After quick analysis they've stated it was the DPF and I needed to drive to the nearest authorized Ford service to get it reset etc.

Now the question... The nearest authorized Ford garage is something like 150km from here (and quite the opposite direction of my drive back home). In your opinion can I afford driving back home (apron. 600kms mostly on motorways) and get it serviced back home? What are the potential risks?
I'm planning to head back in the next couple of days.
Thanks a lot for your advice...
