Not sure I understand what you mean by 'eco toasted' ? :)

How old is the vehicle?
How many miles has it done?

I don't know what 'eco toasted' means either!
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

Is the exhaust tail pipe white inside from too much adblue being injected ? Just trying to think how a urea fault and a blocked dpf could be related or has the injector wiring been damaged by the hot dpf.

Sorry guys .....
its 2018 done 220k km.
when the dpf was clogged . i stopped on the side of the road , and it was glowing red then the car whould start to give the urea fault, then when tested the injector, it wont give any resistence, so i replaced it with diffrent one.
my question was -if when a good injector is pluged in lexia show - short to earth,and when the connecter disconnected from the injector lexia show-open circuit, so that means -urea control module (or something like that ) is bad? what are my options? i tested with 2 working injectors...
the tail pipe is black . there is no white there....

The Urea Injector electrical connector requires a very firm (hard) push to correctly seat it. It is easy to get this wrong. It can feel like it's home bust isn't. You should hear a distinct click from it when it's properly home.

So why would lexia read a short ,if connector won't seat fully lexia would stay stuck on open circuit fault
