How to regenerate DPF filter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лют 2017
- If you get a warning light showing that the filter’s blocked, it should be possible to complete an active regeneration cycle and clear the warning light by driving for 10 minutes or so at speeds over 40mph.
I love the way they added a DPF to be environmentally friendly, but then a requirement to keep them clear is to drive with high revs spewing gases out of the exhaust!!
the left-green fascists are very stupid, superficial people that therefore tend to actionism so they can feel good again. If it really helps the problem, isn´t their business. Something was done and it seems as is it had some effect. That´s enough for them.
@@segoiii just like begging about to build more wind turbines and these so called "experts" decide to put them in a forest, that requires to chop some of the trees that release a huge amout of CO2, afterwards make a concrete foundation, stack a lot of metal and a piece that contains elements you can't dispose, which you would have to do so in 2 or 3 years.
Yes its takes a special genius
Very ironic, isn't it? 😆
@@wischi4985 A wind turbine takes some 20+ years to pay itself (that goes for carbon too). They are usually taken out of commission due to old age way before that.

Brother if I drive my car like you advised to regenerate dpf, once I’m done do I still need to take it to mechanic for further cleaning or I’m done myself?
جَزَاكُمُ اللهُ خَيْرًا كَثِيْرًا
Waiting for your reply
@@mianbilalahmad8914 No you don't need a workshop, the DPF is then fully cleaned.
But if your car has more than 150.000 miles, it may want to do it more often, so then it may be clogged up and you should consider changing it.

I try it and did not help. Do you suggest anything else. Also the Mitsubishi triton doesn’t drive powerful like before
@@yahyahadi390 Late response, but maybe your dpf light was already red. This trick works only if the light is yellow. By the time your dpf light is red, the dpf is already full of deposits and most likely it won't clear. If it's red, then you need to change the dpf with a new one, but i guess you already did since your reply was an year ago
I do short journeys all week and started to get message (filter potential clogging). Just did as you advised. Hey presto! It worked. I will give the van a blast every weekend to keep clean. Thanks.
Exactly why I went back to petrol mate, modern diesels lack any practicality for short journeys, you only really see the savings on motorways. Even then, diesel repairs can cost a lot and what you save in fuel ends up going to the repair bill anyway lol
Depending on your car i have a skoda fabia 1.6 tdi. You will see revs change on idle (sits at 1k revs) and rubbery type smell when the car is trying to do a regen just go on 15 min blast on motorway with revs not dropping below 2k it will keep it clean. Also you will get a eggy type smell when you know it has regened. It's worth doing as a new dpf can be upwards of 1k
@@matth1210 I really miss the torque from my old Focus TDCI but the DPF drove me nuts, it got so clogged it wouldn't regen anymore 😂 Bought the pat fluid and everything and it was just too late, gutted when that shit costs £35 a litre!

I did this on my 2011 Skoda Superb by driving from my house on a cold start. First briskly down a B road at around 40 mph. Then topped up at BP to about 3/4 of a tank. After that down an A road at about 50mph for about 2 miles..., and then joining the M3 south and moving up to around 70mph. All the while keeping the RPM at or above 2500 (automatic car). After about 5 minutes on the M3 at 70mph with a 3/4 full tank and the engine at full operating temp, the DPF light went out. Phew! Thanks for this.

It simple if you don't go on the motorway as part of your weekly lifestyle than don't buy a diesel. If you live on the motorway don't buy a petrol...
They're fine if you pay attention to fuel quality and don't drive around a 35mph in 6th gear.
Totally agree, I use shell fuelsave in mine and I've had the egr blanked as well. avoid supermarket derv,
watch out for the new MOT on diesels, lot more rigorous.
+Rob Dunfry - I maintain my cars to the teeth and thus I am quite happy with tighter MoT standards. Ultimately we will all benefit.
The only diesel specific new thing is evidence of tampering with the DPF. There is in fact no legal requirement for a DPF to be fitted, but it's highly unlikely you'll get a car through an MoT without one. Many owners have had then removed prior to the legislation change and these people will be footing a bill for a new one.
Personally I think DPFs should be fitted to DI petrol cars well - these chuck out even more small (sub ten micron) particulates than do current diesel engines.
Does the same apply to petrol vehicles. I've seen some very oily smokey ones on the road. Surely that's not allowed. If nothing else it will pollute the exhaust probe.
I have a VW Golf 6, 2013, 105KM TDI - EGR OFF.
Had the same problem. Drove on 3rd gear, 2500 - 3000rpms. Took me about 40 minutes of drive to get rid of the warning light. Thanks for the video!

Your car has no PDF filter. You need to use engine flash they are only about £8. Put Engine Flash where you put engine oil drive it for 10 minutes take it to a garage take out all the engine oil and fill it with new as you do when you servicing the car that should clean your engine it may help. Do the same thing ever time you service your car especially with older cars.
Arif khan i have changed oil a month ago.My car has PDF filter.
Please do not give advice that could potentially cause him an engine failure... e60 520ds do have DPF and the use of engine flush depends on the product, some requires the car to be driven some needs to idle for few minutes. If he would drive around with an engine flush that supposed to work while idling he could have a catastrophic engine failure as the products wash off oil from cylinder walls=no lubrication or very limited hence the advice to use some while the car idles

Man this video was so helpful thank you so much 👌🏿👋🏿
As a service technician for a well known car manufacturer i can tell you that exhaust gas temperatures increase as you get to a maximum of 1800 rpm, after that they start to cool off as the gas flow increases to the point of reducing the temperature in the doc and dpf respectively. I have customers come in from time to time with a soot saturation indicator lamp on, i drive with the rpm at a max of 1800 and holding. Road speed has nothing to do with it. I can regen in neutral at 1800rpm if necessary. You also need to remember, some diesel vehicles won't regen if a low level of diesel fuel is present, usually below the last quarter.
So you tried and it works while the vehicle is not moving? Everyone seems to say you have to be on the road but it makes no sense to me.
Very true, but the speed thing is a safety recommendation to allow air to cool the engine bay because of the extra heat of the dpf burning of the deposits in the passive regeneration. Thats the only season for the 50 mph thing.
@@christopherwilson6527 there is a major and important reason why cars need to be driven for dpf regeneration,the fact that the engine is not under load when the engine is revved stationary, only when its driven. Forced regen can be done whole stationary but normal regen will only ever happen when the car is in move
Lorant Bogath yes, thats correct. What i was getting at was, i personally always drive the car at the recommended speed when doing the regens, whether passive or active regen (ie, none forced or forced) to ensure no damage to anything in the engine bay or to the dpf from over heating.
Well known german car manufacturer?
Anyway regenerating the DPF at low RPM or while standing still is risky because of the very high temperature reached by the DPF and if it not properly cooled it can be damaged. That's why most manufacturers recommend to regenerate the DPF on the highway like driving at constant speed.
Got to do this on the weekend ! Thanks
Did it work
Thnx. I resolved this problem with Tiguan using your guidence. Nice
worked very well, after 5 minutes the light get away 😉
Does the problem get resolved , or it repeat again ????
100% worked for me ! , my DPF light came on for the first time this evening , the previous owner had the car on motorways constantly so this was never a problem, my commute is really short so the engine never stays on for too long, tonight i took the car out on a well known West London A - Road as recommended above and the light went out , i will endeavour to take her out on the local motorway to the services every week so that my filter stays unblocked.
I will also use the A40 for my dpf regen when it comes to it lol

Engines with DPFs rely on the correct oil and changed at the correct intervals.
If not sulphur from old oil will clog the DPF up. Also it's a good idea to check the EGR is functioning properly, that can add to DPF problems too.
If your vehicles require adblue... KEEP IT TOPPED UP!!!!!!!!
I kept running my 1.6L BlueHDI on low warning about ADBlue for a few days and now my DPF is acting up. And now I have to go out of my way to drive somewhere out of the city because everywhere I go I can barely go to the 3rd speed because it's the city.

@@Niraol Diesels pre 2008 mostly won’t have a dpf but I think Peugeot were using adblue before 2008 in their SCR systems. Fords used the same engines

Hi, I too have the same warning on VW Golf 7. Is it okay to drive with engine check light on for few 100s of kms?
Thank u a lot bro..... I just cleared in 8 minutes at 75-80km/h.
I’m glad it worked for you
Ive just had to do this to my car. Thanks for the video. Can I ask, how clean should this make it and is it with getting the DPF fully flushed out at a garage?
Depends. If the dpf is completely clogged you might have to go flush it If you dont want to buy a new one. But Even that might not work. To avoid this you should avoid driving short trips or the exhaust won't get hot enough to clean it.
Its work! thank you,bro!
Saved me some money guys, thank you
This worked for me today thank you I was going to take it to garage tomorrow I think it’s because the revs are always low even at high speed giving you better mpg but not good for dpf maybe once a month thing
The biggest problem with dpf's is people do not understand how they work, including main dealers, mechanics, youtube mechanics etc.. the systems clean themselves, the key word being themselves, they require no input from the driver, no need to drive at 70mph in reverse down the M1 to regen it. They need to be at 600/700c to regen, no matter what speed you drive you won't get that temperature, not in a car anyway. The cars ecu will inject extra fuel in order to get the temperature needed to clean it.
If you have a diesel, just wait till the engine gets to 90 degrees Celsius and floor it when possible. Flooring it with a diesel engine is very healthy not only for the DPF, but for your turbocharger and EGR. You don't need to get to the redline.
I hear is not ok to floor it to max at lower rpm , but until turbo kicks in . This way soot produxtion is lower .. what u think?
What rpm does the turbo kick in a . Desiel

Arif khan hi I’ve done 4th gear on 60mph for 40mins on my Nissan Juke, the red engine light is still showing ?
Marius you tried it ?
Nice video buddy. Mine doesn't want to go off. Did you use a dpf cleaner additive?
Thank you so much it helped me out was riding on 3rd gear at 50-60 for about 12 minutes and the light went out
Which brand liquid dpf cleaner u used for ur car?
I drove 100 km/h with 5th gear (DSG 7-speed) on a T6, that made 2500 rpm. It took aprox. 5 minutes until it was gone, maybe because the car warmed up a few minutes ago and I did harder accelerations since then. It showed up at 52k km (32k miles), because my mother mostly uses this car for short distances so it doesn't fully warm up in the winter. For some reason it showed up after fueling the car after a 100km (60 miles) drive.
was it really a catalytic problem
Dpf regen cant initiate when its less than 1/4 full. It initiated itself when you filled the car up and the conditions, such as engine temperature, were met.
I've got a seat ibiza 1.2 TDI(2012) ..I've got a "check engine" light but not DPF light, the error I'm getting from OBDII scanner is "P0405 - Powertrain / Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit Low" ...I ask the dealer about this and he told me that it's because I use it mainly on the city at low speeds and it's the build up gases. Not sure if this would help me but it's true that I mostly use my car in low speed low rev situation. I've added Liqui Moly Diesel Additive when the tank was full ...not sure if the "check engine" light triggered by this or it was random.
Clearing the light via my phone is temporal as it comes back after a while(half day or so), I'm not sure if this has something to do with DPF or not so anyone any thoughts? ....dealer told me to replace the part would cost more than 500 Euros(just the part, not his work ...still if I don't want to do it, it won't cause me any problem, his words not mine)
It's your differential pressure sensor, cost £35.99 from eBay for a vw genuine part for my golf & very easy to fit yourself. Once fitted if light stays on & You got no way to clear it, just start & turn of the car seven times.hope this helps.
Yeah i have a seat eco tdi 1.2 and I had engine light check for over a year until they recalled seats due to a problem with the dpf filters, i had my filter on once since as I drive short distances usually. When I hear the fan turn on I make sure I floor it on a 40mph road for 20mins to complete the regeneration, never had the light on since
Was driving on the motorway for atleast 1hr 30m but unfortunately for me the warning light hasnt gone and didnt even let me erase when i tried with the odb reader. Its a Merc C220 sport still drives lovely and i enjoyed the cruise, had it in sport + no performance issues. Ive only had the car for 2 weeks and i filled up a full tank of standard diesel from sainsburys < im guessing that definitely didnt help or maybe even caused the problem as manual advises to fill up with premium. Its an automatic so i couldnt get to 3k rpm max was 2 if not 2.5 and thats on sport plus. Any suggestions would be appreciated
I drove mine for an hour or two and it got rid of it. But that was probably overkill, I just wanted to overdo it so I didn’t have to again. The main thing seems to be that it has to be constantly, if you stop I believe it stop the regen (once it’s activated)
basically, just give it beans every now and again and it’s unlikely you will have this problem
Yes, and make sure you have a pretty balanced motorway to city driving ratio.
Make sure your garage when servicing your diesel use the correct oil spec as well. That will also clog the dpf. Many garages will use what they think is OK rather than check the exact manufacturers oil spec.
@@a0r0a7 couldnt agree more
All Diesels DPF or not require a little bit of hard driving here and there. Most people don't seem willing to give their Diesels a thrashing when needed though, I got a diesel car that ran like shit and after a month with me it ran perfectly fine again because I drove it harder.

How often the dpf ligt is turning on?
In which cases needs to replace the DPF with new one? thanks
very useful video thanks ! actually the DPF in my Toyota Rav4 2.2 D-CAT 2012 has been blocked twice within 3000 KM sins i bought it and the only solution (the recommended act) was putting it on SPORT Mode, transmission on sport and do 0 to 100 KM/H 2 times. the exhaust's temperature will rise fast then the regeneration will begin. after noticing a white smoke coming out of your exhaust drive on a highway for 15 minutes holding 100 KM/h on 3rd Gear. on the way back drive normally 100 KM/h on 6th gear and let the engine and transmission cool down then you are ready to go ...
Which brand liquid dpf cleaner u used for urs
There are product you can add to the fuel tank. But most importantly you should drive fast at a low gear so your filter become at least 600 C° which is what burns the particles
I agree with Taffy - our L-Series engined Rover 200 used to really benefit from a good a-hoofin' and a-hoonin' over the Berkshire Downs...
Rover 200 was never fitted with a DPF. Hoofing it actually creates more soot than it displaces. Not saying you shouldn't boot it but DPF regen time isn't the right opportunity.
I have a work mate who only ever does short journeys and yet has never had a dpf problem, the mind boggles.
in BMW, if not getting above 75 degrees DPF will not do a regeneration,
replace the main thermostat and EGR thermostat if not reaching these temperatures .
YOU NEED THE FOLLOWING FOR THE DPF TO REGENERATE
BMW you need 10 litres or more of fuel in the tank with fuel light not on
240 degrees or above exhaust temperature before DPF
75 degree coolant temp
drive in a low gear above 60 KPH OR above 45 MPH for 20-30 minutes above 2000 rpm or more
and put some DPF cleaner in with half a tank of fuel
buy a cheap OBD computer to plug into your car to see the above
if you have to stop the car or slow down dont worry the regen will continue again when you start driving again
I've been driving DPF cars on and off since 2001. Top tier diesel is helpful. And don't get into the habit of changing up at stupidly low speeds. You don't need to use full torque, just let the revs build. I've seen people in 6th gear at 35mph. This is very very bad for your car. It doesn't even save fuel.
All engines thrive at about double their idle revs
@@sursomsatan1225 that's ridiculous. Engines are better for being driven purposefully, not nannied.
@@sursomsatan1225 That's not true. At cruising speeds in my truck between 30-50mph the engine doesn't spin faster than 1200rpm. I can climb hills at 50mph in 10th gear without downshifting

Hello the video is really helpful. My dpf filter light came on when I arrived home then the next I was afraid to use the car but in the evening I just jump in and drive less than 10 miles and I see the light went off until now the light is off. So does that means it cleans itself or what? Thank you from Alieu.
My engine management light comes on for a regen is this possible? I have a vauxhall insignia vx line 2015 model. If I do the same thing will the light dissappear?
Wow, most of the video is just watching a light on a dashboard, thanks for that.
Normally it regens the best on mine when im doing 80 kmh / 45 mph in 5th gear i get the hottest exhaust temperatures 600-700 degrees. On high way 130 kmh / 72 mph 6th gear is also fine. It waits for the coolant to get hotter then 60 degrees before starting a regen. Minimum speed 60 kmh / 33 mph.
Bullshit!
The whole point of regen is to drive with high revs to get temp up.
So you are getting high revs at 45mph in 5th gear?!?!?! BULLSHIT!!!!
V82MP Bullshit the temp is reached by fuel post injection and higher turbo boost pressure. I have the same engine with Polar FIS so i can exactly see when its regenerating. Read the VW self study and Rosstech documents first before you comment.

Regeneration while Driving
Prerequisites (General):
Ignition ON
Engine ON (Idle)
Coolant Temperature above 70 °C (see MVB 002.4)
Particle Filter Load below Specification (see MVB 108.2/3, VCDS should give the specified values)
If the Particle Filter Load is above Specification the Particle Filter needs to be replaced since the car may burn down when regenerating.
If the Particle Filter Load value in MVB 108 is blank, use alternate group 241.2/3 instead.
Power Consumers ON (Light, Seat Heating, Front/Rear Window Heater, Climate Control)
Engine Hood Closed
Conditions (Driving Cycle):
Vehicle Speed above 60 km/h (40 MPH)
Engine Speed between 2000-2500 RPM (4th or 5th Gear, Automatic Transmission in Tiptronic)
Duration approx. 10-15 Minutes
Exhaust Gas Temperature before Turbo Charger above 170 °C (MVB 099.2)
Exhaust Gas Temperature before Diesel Particle Filter above 150 °C (MVB 099.3)
Exhaust Gas Temperature after Diesel Particle Filter above 150 °C (MVB 099.4)
Drive the car based on the above Conditions until the Particle Filter Load is as low as possible (close to 0 %). In case the Regeneration fails there can either be problems with the Driving Cycle Conditions or with the Engine Hardware.

It matters not what speed you do for how long, the whole aim is to get the dpf hot enough to turn burn off the soot,if you drive in a manner that creates a high egt like,driving it hard,motorway use,constant boost demand etc.it will passively regenerate anyway with no input from you, your car or any third party software.If you are at the point where the car is actively attempting regeneration then your soot content is already high and if it is demanding constant active regeneration then either you poodle round like an old lady,or there is a fault with with your dpf system,your software or it's pilot error,and you will never get 0% soot content,regardless of what your software or Ross tech wiki says.I perform forced regens on 4-5 cars a week.never for boy racers,white van man or mile munchers.
So you stay in 5th gear and over 2,500 rpm range to clear out the dpf ...any suggestion anyone? I’m using diesal cataclean with vpower for audi a3 2014 1.6 tdi manual
very nice video,it worked thanks a lot 👍
Why did i get this recommended ?? I’ve never searched for anything like this let alone diesel related.
Maybe dpf instead?😅
Best way is to drive on German Highway with speed of 200-220 km/h for at least 20-30min, reason is to have enough temperature to burn all particles in the DPF Filter.
Doing 160-180 regularly just for that. Let's pretend I'm in Germany too :D
Thank you so much
Well done 👍

Just watched another video which answered my question. You need to put the car into 'sport' mode
Or if you have tiptronic or the like select a lower gear manually

How many times you see that warning light in 180k miles
good question....
I’ve done this so many times with my bmw 520d and it does work but if the dpf already more than half blocked then it will make difference for a short while so you have to do this often
Most DPF issues on bmw's are are related to the thermostats not working correctly.
what about automatic transmission? Long driving on same gear wont hur it? I mean the 10min regen should be done weekly if you drive in the city mostly and I do it on my manual but not so sure about auto
In my sprinter I got engine light so that the power got reduced do you think I should try to do what you suggest or first plug in the scanner to see the issue?
Next -->How to regenerate Check Engine light 👍
thats almost 100% emission control system, I never had an engine light up that wasnt a lambda sensor... EU regulations make everyones life harder.
@@waifuracer6516 it depends
i changed the lambda sensor twicve and I still get it
the tester said it s the mass air sensor
changed it and still get it..
It's easy -> let your car cool down for at least 12h -> start it -> drive in rev. limiter till light is off.
@@blendarious yes tried that
Still gets back
@@LORDMIRCEA2007 It's not working when it's above -10°C in a Diesel.

My golf tdi mk6 has the heater light flashing and the engine management light on. I put computer code reader on it and it says diesel particulate filter pressure sensor high. Will this trick cure it?
Install VAG DPF from PlayMarket! It shows regeneration progress, how much soot your dpf has, what temperature in your dpf at the moment (soot burning starts from about 350 degree C) I use it with Viecar adapter (white one) from aliexpress. Works like a treat.
I want this
The speed limit in uk is the cause of the DPF problem the government speed limit cars are not designed to drive in 6th Gear or fifth gear at 20 miles an hour this is the problem all cars should have no DPF fitted whatsoever makes them money lots off
When your car starts to regenerate, just find a long uphill and floor it, slow down and floor it again and again, and again after renegeration completes. Doing so it will not take more than 2 minutes to complete
will regeneration occure normally ? when you are going lets say 2500 rpm over 2 hour drive..... on 6th gear or you need to "force" regeneration like this? (i dont have any dpf light i am just asking if its clearing itself regularely without need to force regeneration)
I tried it non stop for 30 min but light is still there 😞 anyway car pick is well improved how to deal with this light plz ??
I have 100,000 miles on my Audi A6 TDI- No problem ever with car or DPF. I run car hard at times and I'm sure it helps.
Wow amazing how it lasted this long
@@vampy625 I'm reading and seeing all kinds of variations of the DPF. Appears VW has an 11 year replacment on DPF filter, (US only). Also, I have an extended warranty on my car from VW due to the emissions issue. As mentioned, I do run my car and for long distances. Also, I don't know how many of you are using the correct oil. I use Mobile 1 ESP 5W-30W. Designed for newer diesels. I know this helps.
Here are some tips I copied:
Drive Faster!
Contrary to popular belief, driving faster could actually save you money in the long run. A DPF regeneration can only occur when certain conditions are met such as speed, RPM and engine temperature. Unless all these conditions are met, the DPF regeneration process will not start. Driving slow and trying to save fuel might prevent a DPF regeneration.
Do your homework
Your vehicles owners manual should have the steps / conditions required to perform a DPF regeneration. Before you attempt a DPF make sure you are doing it correctly, unless you’re at the right speed, engine temperature and RPM a regeneration will not begin. Don’t waste your time and fuel by doing it incorrectly. If in doubt, contact your dealership.
Use the right oil
It’s vital that you only use low SAPs oil in any DPF equipped vehicle. Low saps oil contains lower levels of ASH, the substance which causes DPF filters to clog up. Consult your owners manual if you’re unsure on which oil to use. We’d always advise on using the manufacturers recommended oil. In VW vehicles this is VW 507.00 Engine Oil.

@@johnjerrehian4642 Can DPF regen happen at neutral 2500-3000 rpm
@@vampy625 Not really. Being driven for aprx. 10 mins at 2500-3000 RPM will.
Diesels are very rare here in Pakistan but anyway thanks
Don't listen to "REV THE SHIT OUT OF THE CAR" advice. Sure, rev it, but at really high revs, a diesel engine is going to produce more soot due to incomplete combustion, which will work against your intents - you wish to get rid of existing soot rather than create new one.
- The whole point is for the exhaust gasses to get hot so that the clogged soot gets burnt.
- If the exhaust is hot, it will do the unclogging even at revs below 2000 (down to 1500 RPM). Sure it is better to be on the safe side and above 2000. Also at higher revs there's going to be more hot exhaust gasses flowing through and cleaning will be faster. But I don't think going beyond 3000-3500 is necessary at all.
- Make sure the engine fully warms up before revving it.
- At 130 km/h it is going to produce more heat than 80 km/h even at the same RPM (i.e. different gear), because the engine must produce more power to offset the air drag. More power = more fuel = more heat. Therefore, prefer to drive fast on the highway or uphill.
Using air condition will also produce extra heat.
- It is said, that if you drive your car on highways a lot, no particular DPF care is necessary.
- The car may itself initiate a forced unclogging cycle if necessary even in other conditions (e.g., even when driven in the city without enough revs). To to so, the car will for a while start burning extra fuel to produce more heat. It may be the case that if you stop the car while this cycle was ongoing, the ventilator (fan) in the engine will keep turning for a minute even after shutting down the car. The intent is to cool the exhaust down to avoid fire hazard in case anything might touch the hot exhaust pipes.
- Apparently the dieselgate affair has some consequences for DPFs as well. There seems to be a balance (I may be wrong) between efficiency and NOx emissions. Initially, the cars were more efficient but produced too much NOx. After software change, they produce less NOx but burn a bit more fuel and apparently also produce more soot. That's not good for the DPF. It is unclear what the difference is though (hard to find useful data).
Agreed. Best thing is sustained steady speed. Keep revs higher than you might otherwise. My car will regen quite happily at 25mph, just hang onto second gear.
Ahhh, explains why my car has decided to drink so much fuel. Getting just under 300m on a full tank 😩. What are your views on using red x?
How about deleting DEF,DPF,EGR will decrease fuel consumption? I will tune it into economy tune. I will save fuel so produce less NOx
Is it possible to do this when the red warning light is on? It's been in the garage and they have done a dpf clean which took the lights off but they are back on after just 3 weeks.
i have same light but after engine safty mode what can i do and i gave start stop error seat leon euro 6 tdi
My wife drives our evoque carefully ,when I use it i warm it up and rag it no problem with dpf
Sell it terrible car
What was the point of buying the diesel Evoque if you were going to rag it?
My 2018 diesel has all the fancy emissions and I LOVE IT. I get the torque and efficiency of a diesel while polluting the Earth a little less. It's not a big deal, really.
Benjamin Grimes actally diesel is polluting the most out of the cars.
@@cobraart2006 Not the 2018 ones they emit the same if not less than petrols. Its the pre 2015 ones that are emitting more.
@@cobraart2006 new diesels do not- They have more particulate matter but gas cars have a little more CO2. When you factor in the efficiency of the new generation diesels, they actually pollute less per mile.
What about the cleaning process itself? I think it may be the worst part when comes to pollution
@Name not supplied One day there will be affordable electric cars with an infrastructure but it's not today. Particulate microns can be extremely small and heat does help dispense. I also do my own work and while I only have 114,000 miles on my diesel it never has the regeneration light go on and it runs great, (I do have a software upgrade and a pipertech in the airbox). I expect one day their will be enough ash build up that I will clean DPF. To me, I just see this as maintenance, (unless I have to replace for some reason). That's another story. Bottom line, many with diesels doing a lot of short driving will have more buildup than someone like myself who drives longer distances. Interesting, there is a company in the EU who modifies Audi diesels and they really did not find extra HP with the DPF system removed...
I had service pop up, adblue, engine management and exhaust overloaded all on screen. Wouldn't do a regen when driving high revs (2 hour drive) so bought a cheap code reader and to start regen make sure 1/4 tank of fuel or more and top up adblue so error goes away. Connected the cheap reader to OBCD port and started driving until engine temp was 90 degrees. Then cleared error codes with cheap reader and few times failed and error pop up service and exhaust filter full. Kept pressing and clearing until on dash pop up exhaust cleaning. Great, few minutes later all dash error lights out and back to normal.
Force a regen yourself with a cheap OBCD scanner, ad blue and patience with clear road so you can get to 3000rpm or slightly higher. Keep clearing codes when driving and it will force it eventually. Happy motoring.
Thanks for this.
Will give it a go.
Ta much
I hit the dpf button on my hiace and let it idle for 15mins .it was revving little high but it worked
Hi I went to my local Mechanic and he told me to do the same, so I went on the motorway for 40mins 4th gear 60 to 70mph but the red light hasn’t gone ?
Your dpf is too clogged, needs a new dpf
@@oskarmacioszczyk1126 OUCH!! 💲💲💲

Nice video but every car is different, every car had service book and you need to read what you need to do when DPF need regeneration.
My VW Golf 5, 2008, 2.0 TDI 170Hp, had in service book the right way what to do, all I need to do is drive 4. or 5. gear on 1800-2500rpm (75-120 km/h)
Since I bought a car (1 year) 3X i solved problem like this
Sorry for bad English
Thanks , worked , saved £450 !!
I dont have this lamp turn on in my Fiat Bravo 1.6 jtd 105hp,2010,year,but I want to do regeneration. So is it for every diesel car same proceduration?So put him in 3 speed and drive him for how long like this?
my Passat DPF has been fine, (57 plate 2.0tdi 170 estate, had DPF flushed though dec 2017 and EGR blanked + mapped out, DPF been fine never had light and passed mot on emissions, secret- only use shell derv + shell V power nothing else, plus give her a decent run once a fortnight up motorway sat at just under 3k RPM, no probs
Thats what I do on my similar Audi, Shell V power diesel or BP ultimate. I also throw in Wynns extreme system clean every 3 tank fills, and drive lower gears/higher revs (3000-3500) around town but not drive like a twat. I give car a good long drive on motorway at 2500 revs which Ive just come back from doing - 120k and think DPF could do with a manual clean, just got a hunch its filling up even with driving it right. MPG has gone crap on it but still better tha paying 1000 gold coins to the stealership
@@whiteeaglewarrior i've now scrapped the car (engine failed last year on another issue), so bought another passat same year, but 138 without DPF fitted :)
Best thing to do for your Diesel,is to get a good oil catch can ,
If the drive the car out of city once in a month do you think I can avoid the problem of DPF filter problem?
