Since I bought it, I had to deal with several problems and now it seems that the last one is related to the DPF.

The car has 79000 miles at the odometer and it had a new DPF the last year with a full DPF fluid refill. The garage who did the job wasn't a ford dealer and so there is a chance they put the wrong DPF fluid in it (it is brown instead of blue) and they didn't reset the counter properly.
The result is: the car is running without any problem, the DPF differential pressure is never more than 5KPa but I've got three errors on ForScan:
- P2459: DPF regeneration Frequency, maximum number of regeneration demands being reached.
- P1927 and P1932 that seem related to a low DPF level in the Fuel Additive Tank.

To me, it seems to be a problem related to the DPF counter and its resetting.
To do that, I'm thinking about getting a cloned VCM II from China and do the job on my own. I tried to drop the car off to a Ford dealer and they told me the problem could be the fuel pump and they would need a couple of working hours to be sure of it...which seems unlikely to me.

So, I have a couple of questions for you guys
- do you think the counter could be the problem of those errors?
- where can I find a good site to buy a good VCM II and the IDS? I found many Chinese sites but I'm not sure I can trust them.

Any help will be really appreciate since I have been dealing with this problem for a month and I don't have any clue.
