Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2021
- We did a regeneration on this Vauxhall Astra 2011. As it came up with DPF FULL on the cluster and flashing DPF light. We reset the sensors and then did the regeneration. The fault code that came up was P2463.

Respect brother having same problem. Audi not run for couple of months saying one bank is blocked. Lack of power.
Hi, love your videos, would you be able to tell me what diagnostic computer do you use?
Thanks
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your feedback much appreciated and my diagnostic tool name is
Autel Maxisys MS908s Pro it’s the genuine UK tool you can buy this from bullseye, euro car part....
@@sadiagnostics thanks so much... keep up the great videos...
@@Chris-ph5zg thank you :)
@@sadiagnostics buy Autel MK808BT, cheaper & better
Another question I would like too add please ?🙏 why does it say online you can only do 4 off these stationery regens before the filter is trashed surly these things can handle it 😉
Helpful thank you!
Thanks for your feedback 👍
So, the smoke is normal?
Does that smoke smell like ammonia/ sweet potent smell??
Which model of the autel are you using that can complete the dpf regeneration. Bought the Thinkcar joke.
It’s Autel Maxisys ms908s pro
Does the newer shape Vauxhall Insignia 2017 onwards 1.6 ltr diesel has too much dpf issues? and does the 1.6 ltr diesel have a timing chain or belt
Yes they all do have the same problem, I highly recommend bmw or Mercedes in terms of mechanical.
Hello, great video
Thanks for the feedback
As a owner of a astra gtc 2.0 sri cdti does approx 80-100 mile daily I get this every 2 days. So have to go down the motorway in 4th gear 2500rpm. Even after a regen at the garage still about 3-4 days after I had this issue.
the best way to regen is go down a dual carriageway in 3rd and at 3500 revs it does sounds a little harsh on the engine only because it's in 3rd. drive in 3rd at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes, I do 15 minutes and don't have to regen for another 6 months. it needs to get really hot to burn off the hardest of soot buildup and this is the best way.
Same for me
I'm the same.its a pain in the ar#e.
Would you say Vauxhall's are crap? I was considering one. I do plenty of miles and never had any issues like this before. But I also know diesels need a good thrash!
Vauxhalls are terrible for dpf as well as all VAG cars (Audi Seat Skoda VW) worst cars for dpf problems
I heard that it's not a good idea to do this stationary, because the temperature in that filter is very high and it hasn't got a proper cooling while not driving.
hi, I have just had this warning on my 2.0 CDTi Zafira C tourer 40K miles. Drives a bit sluggish when pulling away from a junction! please how do I fix this issue?
Put it through diagnostic machine first
What is the cheapest Autel diagnostic model i can use for dpf regeneration?

Hi. Thanks for the video. Am I able to perform the DPF regen without the diagnostics computer? I was planning to literally hold the revs above 2,000 and hope it clears?
Hi you can try but I recommend you do motorway as this will help cool the engine system and you will get good pressure to blast all soot content out of the dpf
@FunkinAffiliate ?
@FunkinAffiliate correct, however this specific car cannot be performed on motorway as it was fully in limp mode. And there’s no way anyone would risk driving 30/40mph on motorway. So only way to fix and solve this right now is to do a stand still regeneration. However if your car isn’t fully in limp mode then I 100% agree with recantation whilst on motorway…
@FunkinAffiliate yeh that’s fine give it a shot and see how it goes. If it doesn’t resolve it then just reset the sensors on dpf and try another motorway or do a stand still regeneration. Plus this time of year stand still regeneration is ok as it’s not too hot.
When it gets too hot what do you have to do if its on a diagnostic being regenerated?
I have a Mitsubishi Canter 2011 3.0L Diesel 4P10 Engine. This truck randomly smokes, blue smoke, I always turn engine off for 20 sec, let it reset and turn it back on, then zero smoke. But is it going a regen? Am I doing the wrong thing in interrupting the process, as 20 minutes later it smokes again, or a day later, or a week, should I let is smoke, is there a regen process on this model of truck??
so bring you car in a very steep climb make sure that there is no brake engaged give a little push from back and leave her to run into the future!!! trust me work with any car!!!
Hi where are you based
Out of Curiosity would the learning of dpf not need to be reset again after the regen as it’s now set to the higher pressure from before the test which means fault wouldn’t show anyways.
Yes you need to reset it. Cause sometimes the DPF FULL sign will not go away due to false readings.
I always recommend resetting the dpf after a regen on Vauxhall
Can the car catch fire during Forced DPF Regen? Should I call 999 before doing it?
Yes
Two bottles of Wynns DPF cleaner in half a tank, and 30 miles down the M1at 3500rpm. Never fails.
But if its bellowing out smoke at the start off how can you drive it without being pulled over mine is smoking real real bad
@@christophertustain8852If it's smoking that heavy, I'd go after dark.
@grahamherbert3612 ok thanks mate, knowing my luck it will go into limp mode haha
I got a code p247a which is a sensor I've located and ordered one will i just need to re fit and blast it on the motorway for an hour or so
Well it will most likely require a reset with a diagnostic machine cause these new cars store the fault in the ecu and you can’t do much unless you use diagnostic machine
My other half’s car keeps coming up dpf drive etc can she do the same with out the computer on our drive or would you not recommend many thanks it’s a 1.6 eco flex Astra 66 plate
Hi it’s best if you do a motorway regeneration rather than stand still.
@@sadiagnostics thankyou all good had a recall on the car they fixed it all repaired the air mass flow all for free as a good will gesture! Thanks for replying
My car is showing up as code 55 Vauxhall Astra 2011 what does this mean please does it mean it needs a service ??
Do you find Honda diesels suffer with these DPF issues?
Honda is very good and cannot remember when last did one however Audi Seat Skoda VW Vauxhall Nissan Chevrolet are very common for it
How often does this regen need to take place before getting blocked again ?
If you do motorway every week or so then your fine but if you do a lot of internal runs then I suggest you do a motorway once a week doing a good 30/40 mins drive in 3/4th gear ⚙️. This will push out all the spot content.
@@sadiagnostics Any advice would be awesome guys, I recently bought a similar spec to this vehicle as im commuting 100 miles daily in a new job up the motorway, but i am a little nervous having seen the horror stories 😅
1. Are there specific revs or speed the car should be used at for the car to run its regen cycle naturally? i have checked all the information that came with the car but i cant seem to find much info about these parameters.
2. Would the car need this cleaning done anyway at some stage even with its normal amount of regen being done on a regular basis?
(i do lots of miles but if my wife drives it for a day or two just around town i was wondering would a regen be something i could do on the weekend taking it on a long run to try to offset this issue in the video needing to be done)
3. Is this mainly only caused by people not using their diesels on long motorway journeys and try to use it only in town driving or is the DPF blocking inevitable regardless of how you use the vehicle
What OBD are you using please
Autel Maxisys ms908s pro
Hi mate I tried doing a forced regen with the autel diagnostic, it started the regen reved up to 3500rpm for approximately 30 minutes, got to 6% then stopped. It gave the following error, diesel particulate filter flow resistance before regeneration is to high. Car is a 2011 insignia 2.0cdti thanks in advance for any help. Matt.
Hi what that tells me is the slot content is too high so if I was you I’d try and reset the spot content first then do a dpf regeneration
@@sadiagnostics Hi thanks for the reply how do I reset the soot content using the autel diagnostic.
@@matttaylor7401 if you go into hot functions and then dpf it then says reset dpf
@@sadiagnostics oh right yes we already did that. Any other suggestion appreciated very much thanks.
@@matttaylor7401 ok it could be that the sensor on the dpf is faulty which you can do a live data and see what figure the sensor is running at. If it’s faulty then it will come up as red. And if it doesn’t come up as red then I suggest you do a manual dpf regen on motorway in gear 3/4 and revs being around 3.5rpm doing 70mph. If that doesn’t help then you can take out the dpf and clean it at car wash. If this also doesn’t help then drill out the dpf and remap it but expect more smoke than what you have now cause remap makes cars smoke like hell…
I've got this issue with an insignia, tried to drive it but it was chucking out so much smoke I had to take it back home lol
Lol Vauxhall is known for it, you’ve got to give it a good blast.
@@sadiagnostics bloody awful cars, I bought it as a project with snapped cambelt, sorted that out then it started doing this and had to drain the oil out once because it dumped diesel in the sump from a failed regen I assume. It’s the first time I’ve owned a Vauxhall lol
@@bendude6748 I do them on a regular basis and some of them do smoke a lot. From expirence I wouldn’t buy any of the following cars;
Audi
Seat
Skoda
Vw
Vauxhall
All of them have dpf issues
Top 2 cars are
Mercedes/BMW
@@sadiagnostics I have a vw golf as my daily 2.0 TDI but it’s an older mk5 2008 no DPF. Best car I’ve ever had. I did fancy a newer VW or Audi but after learning about the DPF I’m not so sure 😂 what cars would you say are best these days ?
@@bendude6748 yeh dpf is not good and top 2 cars I’d say is Mercedes and bmw.
Hi, what machine are you using to perfom this regeneration? Thank you
Hi it’s Autel Maxisys ms908s pro thanks
Thanks for coming back to me so soon. I was looking at that machine. Unfortunately it is too expensive for me. Do you know if there is any other machine that could do this regeneration? I don´t think all machines can do DPF regeneration?
I am really fed up with this DPF cluster. I am after getting a car, only have it a month and the DPF light is on. I tried to clear on the road. It goes but in a few days is back. I expent a lot of money in my previuos car for this reason.
Thanks for the help. Vanesa
@@vm7561 it really depends what car you get 6 worst cars for dpf is as follows;
Audi
Seat
Skoda
VW
Renault engines 1.5
Vauxhall
Them cars are well known for dpf engines.
There is a cheaper version of Autel which roughly runs for £600 on eBay it’s the basic.
ok, thanks for your help!
There is a Bluetooth autel 200 which does it all for around 70 quid. It is locked to whichever car you own (chosen when you install the software on your smartphone) but you can buy additional manufacturers for around 20 quid as add ons
These things are dangerous mine was 120% blocked and had no message at all until driving my kids home. Then the coil light started flashing then the car went full crazy had a runaway revs where increasing I managed to stop the car thankfully. And stalled the thing it runaway for about 15 seconds so no damage done . Engine oil was 2 litres overfilled with diesel strange thing was the runaway flattened my battery too .😑 DPF had to be removed and sent away for specialist cleaning and full car service car was fine after that. Now I twat the car on the motorway evertime I'm only doing short journeys, zafira B anyone else !! these DPF filters are a menace you need to twat the car constantly to keep the filter contents clean if you drive like a granny like I used too you will have many issues 😉
Thats how you melt dpf or even get the car on fire . You have not even checked the presure and the soot lvl
I have this Astra 1.7 how often should this happen? Mine seems to be doing IG weekly. I sit at 3k revs, and it works. Just want to ensure it’s not doing it too much or there’s another issue?
You can do it every week if you do a lot of internal runs. You can do it motorway but doing normal 70mph in 3/4 gear around 3k revs. Motorway should be better as it puts more pressure on turbo and makes the DPF more hotter which means the spot content will lessen.
U forgot to say 50 pounds of fuel and dpf cleaner and it will still get blocked in a week actually i was in same problem with same car so i deleter the dpf cut the filter and mapd it to stage 1 that the only way and is 350 pounds job
Soon as the warning light comes on saying dpf needs cleaning, I take straight on the motorway and let the car do the work.
Yes but not all cars will reset once it’s stored in the ecu, the only way round it is by using diagnostic machine. Otherwise it will never work. I’ve had many people try before and no joy. I always recommend once or twice motorway each week if your doing local runs.
@@sadiagnostics that’s fair, I have a 2L Audi A4 so you know, my cars it not made for local roads, I only take it on really long drives.
I just bought a 2L CDTI...What a mistake
Vauxhall is headache
was this 1.7 or 1.9
1.7 as far as I remember.
@@sadiagnostics i think its 1.7 thinking about it, i can tell by the sound
@@nathanreid2974 yes 1.7 as it says it on boot I can never remember things but looking at video it says 1.7 on the rear tail gate
Wrong.... You can't reset lights to to a dpf regen, you can caused damage to the to filter doing this
Also you must have timing belt done before doing regen otherwise be ready for a new engine for sure
Incorrect very rarely I must of done over 1000 regens and touch wood nothing has happened so far unless you guys have messed up on one where it mentions cam/crank shaft position sensor and you’ve done regen. If so then yes your right but if it doesn’t mention any of above then your all good. I’ve done this for over 10 years to know what’s good and what’s bad…
Total nonsense a cambelt can snap at 6500 rpm doing 140 mph or on the drive 2 seconds after starting the engine.
Do blue smoke on startup
be careful with such regenerations, DPF can reach temperatures of 600 degrees and the car can catch fire, it is best and safest to do it on the go. First time take a ride like always and after 10 minuts of normal driving try going on 3gear over 3000rpm for 20 km, 2 vauxhall i made the same and its working, insignia and astra
I Tried yesterday a regeneration on me Astra J 2011 2.0 CDTI. AND AFTER 6 MINUTES I STOPPED IT BECAUSE SMOKE START COMING FROM THEE ENGINE
@@radukuuberceaa6698 Salut Raducu. De la motor sau prin toba de esapament ?
@@HowTodoo Chiar atunci îmi făcusem schimbul de ulei căci asa a fost recomandat sa nu crape motorul. Toata ideea este ca eu am avut tot timpul de când am cumpărat mașina mufa de la clapeta de accelerație scoasă, pornea greu și cand îl opream el încă primea aer si făcea ca tractorul la oprire. De acolo si eroare egr si filtru de particule se tot regenera si nu termina regenerarea. Asa ca am făcut schimbul de ulei si dupa încercarea de regenerare dpf. Dupa 10 minute avea la 585 de grade si a început sa scoată puțin fum pe la motor. Nu stiu de unde provenea dar cum era capota deschisă venea de sub radiator. Poate ceva ulei ars cum sa schimbat uleiul. Insa dupa 20 de minute si 8 % regenerarea am hotoratat sa opresc si să-și facă ea singura treaba fiindcă am mufat la loc clapeta si nu mai avea nici o eroare in bord. 79% era înfundat filtru. Acuma nu mai am nici o eroare.
@@radukuuberceaa6698 Da e posibil sa fie ceva ulei ars. Dar eu nu iti recomand regenerarea in loc pentru ca poate sa iti ia masina foc, gandestete sunt peste 600 grade :). Cel mai bine fa in mers. Eu am facut in felul urmator, sa ivit sa merg pana la un magazin, erau 500m pana la el dupa care am mers pana la un prieten 6 km am mers normal, deja masina era bine incalzita si de acolo am luat-o pe un drum national drept acolo am mers in a 3-a cu 3200 3500 turati, nu am lasat mai jos. Nu te mint dupa nici 3 km deja a disparut erroarea.
That can’t do the car any good bad design
How else can you do it other than a regeneration which is something that dealer do anyways…
