I'm impressed there's a filter left after water is forced that violently through it.
It's all metal meshes and glasfiber or some times steel wool. 🙂
It's not like a air intake filter 😄
@@GermanMythbuster a DPF can use metal combs, yes, but definitely not glas fibre or steel wool. The most common version uses ceramic monoliths that are kind of fragile but mainly against hits or similar forces.
@Stefan
Thanks for your comment.
You are correct the the Monolith is produced from various Ceramic/ Alloy combinations. They are also usually secured within the housing (exhaust) by Glass Fibre Matting.

What a satisfying video to watch. My Mondeo 2.0 TDCi is on 220k, it's also remapped but still has its original DPF. The only issue it had is the sensor pipes burned through at 100k. A local mechanics charged me £140 to supply and fit a genuine ford sensor pipe kit and its been fine since.
The dpf sensor pipes ? The hoses to and from dof sensir to dof itself?
@kevinhancock4064 yes, that's the ones. The garage at the time would only fit the genuine Ford part but others on the Mondeo Facebook groups have used fuel line without issue. I'm not sure of the length but one pipe is 7mm and the other is 8mm if I'm not mistaken.

@@kevinhancock4064 the DPF will try to regenerate more often and will eventually throw on an engine warning light as the sensor won't detect the DPF pressure changing. Well, that's what I had anyway.

Thats a cleanest dpf machine ever ive seen ... must be busy 😅
Hi N s, Thanks for your message. We take great pride in our workshop and our understanding of the technology. This machine is stripped down and cleaned every 100 cycles to ensure we can meet the 98% of original operating efficiency target (independently verified by UNICORE).
@@dpfrefresh1185 how much does that cost
I love how we at Toyota just fucking redline the thing till it’s clean😂
That will remove soot (or set the car on fire). The process in the video also removes ash.
Same at Cummins we do a regen, we high idle and over fuel for 30 minutes to get the aftertreatment temps around 550°c this burns anything left inside
@@peterhawthorn3670 also sometimes burns a hole in the ground - I've seen some excavators do a regen so hot it turns the echaust pipe bright red - scary shit that is
We do regen at Ford as well. This is just much safer and cleaner
Ash and soot are not the same thing. Soot can be burnt off through regens, but afterward, there's still a tiny bit of ash left over which consists of oil and diesel residues that won't burn (like metal oxides and stuff, I should imagine), eventually this builds up, and nothing short of flushing that stuff out will clear a DPF that's blocked up with it.
And a few weeks later its back the way it started 🤣🤣🤣
@Alexander Sterling how does burning more stuff in your engine, stuff it was never designed to burn, and sending those fumes (diluted amongst all the filthy normal fumes) magically prevent deposits sticking in a filter designed to capture...deposits?
And even if it does work where do the deposits the filter is meant to capture end up?
My Mk4 2.2 TDCi Mondeo just shits out huge dark clouds when it's cleaning. Protecting the environment hardcore. 👍
@@thebrowns5337 the dpf burns the soot(Black smoke) and turns it into ash, it does that using exhaust heat. ash eventually blocks the filter and that's when you need to clean it.a working dpf does make a difference
@@CitarNosis317 That’s what a DPF does. It’s really a bit of ‘smoke & mirrors’ the idea is that the DPF catches the particulates in urban areas & then burns them off when the vehicle is on the open road. DPFs only get blocked if they don’t get the chance to regenerate
@@puiu26 while you are right it does turn it to ash the thing is though to begin with Diesel trucks exhaust fumes have always been cleaner than gas engines all that filter and shit has done is cause it to be 100x more expensive To own a diesel truck and cause them to be worse for the environment because where do you think that fluid with all that ash soot and chemical residue goes after the cleaning
lol us farmers have an easier way. cut the prick out and replace it with a piece of pipe. our local fire department even recommends we do it to combines to avoid dust explosions.
Phalanx380 Hell yeah brüther
@@LobsterHunter5 off roadin’ brotha?
Engineer in the aftertreatment development here...
this pressure load with an incompressible fluid will sheer the precious metals right off the substrate surface... which means the DPF will be full of soot even quicker than before since it can't regenerate via NO2 oxidation of the particles... plus, you can't get the ashnout that way. it is a closed porous wall structure, so you will have to clean it from the exhaust side to the intake side.
Hi RotecRI9,
Thanks for your comment.
When we mount a unit onto our equipment we are, as you suggested, going from exhaust side to inlet side. This allows us to remove the Soot and more importantly the PM10 Ash that otherwise could never be removed. Our equipment is uncommon in this sense as the majority of similar systems, including all on-vehicle variants try to push the PM10 Ash out of a filter monolith that is designed to retain it.
In respect to your other point, in our application this simply isn’t true. Our equipment has been developed using the patent that was created by the PSA Group during the original development of the Particulate Filtration System and is the only approved method to remove Soot, PM10 Ash and Cerina without risk to the monolith. Furthermore our system has been independently verified by UMICORE as returning a completely blocked monolith to 98% of it original operating efficiency.

@@dpfrefresh1185 There's always an 'expert' who knows better than the people who developed the system and use it daily.You guys are saving the planet in many ways.
Yep. Usually right after eating at a Mexican restaurant.
Did you ever measure the back pressure and flow specs on a brand new one to compare witha a used one,and cleaned one ?
This comparison, no one will show you...
Hi Michaelovitch and Tobias Harrmann,
Yes this equipment has been proven, independently, to return a Monolith (filter inside) that was completely blocked with PM10 Ash and Soot (so that the engine would not run on a vehicle that had covered ~164k miles) and it was cleaned back to 98% of the original operating efficiency in comparison to a brand new unit.
All in all, when we compare the prices of a new Particulate Filter against the cost of cleaning it usually works out to be a maximum of 20%. So we think the lost 2% is acceptable given the cost difference.
If you would like to know more, the certificates from UNICORE are available.

Hi,
We have a LOT of diesel here in France,and DPF is a ugly monster here for the people.
Trying to developp your business on and with social media or even here wouldn't be a bad idea,it's a good support for education and communication.
Haunted exorcist, similar cleaning process, can also take it to a father.
Very Interesting Process, I work at Cummins Diesel in the emissions department every interesting. We use a process of regens which is just heating our systems after treatment system to around 550°c this burns off soot and ash trapped in the DPF. Would be interesting to see a comparison between the 2 methods and how they affect emissions
Are you really working there and don't know that every manufacturer uses regeneration cycles (which the shown method is not replacing)?
This is a method to clean filters after years of usage that are blocked by ash and other residue which will not be affected by thermal regeneration.
@@stefan514 yeah, I also thought the ash doesn't just disappear in regeneration and has to be cleaned with a method like shown in the video.
@Peter Hawthorn
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, that would be an interesting comparison.
I would expect the thermal treatment would yield a less effective result on a Monolith that had covered a significant distance but similar results for a vehicle that has blocked due to component failure (IE EGR Valve)/ Passive Regeneration that was prevented due to another fault. The reason behind this is that the Monolith (filter) is designed to trap any particulate that has cross section of 10 nanometers or greater as so the matter cannot be exhausted.
When a Monolith is regenerated (burns the soot content off) and creates a by product call PM10 Ash, that is Ash that is 10 nanometers or greater in cross section). Overtime the PM10 Ash slowly lines the channels within the Monolith.
The Temperatures that can be achieved on a vehicle (usually circa 1000Deg C to 1200Deg C) are insufficient to breakdown this matter to allow it to pass through the monolith.
@@stefan514 he also burns the ash 🤦🤣
Just fill it up with oven cleaner and it unlocks itself!
Take off your DPF, fill with over cleaner and leave over night. Jetwash out next day, job done for a few quid. Works everytime

@Andrew van Leeuwen,
Thanks for your comment.
When a Monolith is regenerated in situ, as in your example, the Soot content can be regenerated but the by product (PM10 Ash) is too large to be exhausted and builds up within the Monolith.
The method demonstrated in the video, removes off of the Soot and PM10 Ash, getting us back to 98% of the original efficiency. This method is also appropriate for instance where the Monolith is so saturated that the Passive / Active Regeneration Cycle cannot process the Soot content.
Both methods have their places depending upon the application.

I think those sensor should be removed before the cleaning process otherwise the PCM might have problems recieving the correct data from DPF. They are very sensitive and they can be damaged easily.
Hi Mustapha,
Thanks for your comment.
The standard pressure and temperature sensors are absolutely fine to undergo this process. As the sensors are unpowered during the cleaning process and fully dried thereafter there are no adverse effects.
We have cleaned hundreds of these units now and have not had any adverse effects reported by either our workshop technicians or trade customers.
One notable exception to this rule would be NOx sensors and similar 5 wire monitoring equipment. The sensors on these units are still fine to clean/dry but some of the control modules can have vulnerabilities to moisture ingress at the loom multi-plugs.

@@liamrobinson3161
Hi Liam Robinson,
Thanks for your comment.
The Monolith (Filter Element) is designed as a cleanable filter and with correct maintenance will last the service lift of a vehicle.
I would suspect the issue you faced was a build up of PM10 Ash (this is the by product from the regeneration process and cannot be exhausted from the Monolith as it is too large (10Nanometers +)).
In our experience there are very few garages out there that have a correct understanding of these systems and how they work.
If you were to find yourself in a similar situation, I would advise you ensure the garage checks the operation of all the related sensors (checking the voltages returned in various states of load, not just looking at them via diagnostic equipment or relying of fault codes) to ensure they are operating within specification and only then to look at cleaning the filter.
We see multiple vehicles a week where is an electrical fault and there is no requirement to clean the Particulate Filter.
If you have any further problems or questions please let us know.

@@stefan514 I mean emissions systems as a whole, it creates pollution to create catalysts and these filters. And all the other bullshit that goes into a combustion engine. Then it pollutes it's whole life by consuming fuel and all the other fluids to go with it. I was just making a general statement. Why does everything have to turn into a argument on the Internet?
If you really wanna get technical, it takes energy to process that disgusting water,that in the long run creates more pollution.

Best way to clean your DPF is with a power saw, length of pipe and a welder
So true
Imagine going through life everyday thinking DPFs actually help the environment?
Ikr all they do is store up all the shit and when they're full they just dump it unless you regularly clean them and then it still produces nasty waste water while cleaning
@@dietznutz1 no they don't. They store harmful emmisions in them until they get hot enough to actually burn it all off. Clogged dpfs are caused by short journeys where they aren't allowed the time nessesary to burn it all off.
If you love breathing in exhaust fumes you can get your fix at home. Personally I'd prefer to avoid them at all costs, if it takes a dpf then so be it.
@@markslater1081 you do realise that you are taalking about a catalytic converter right. The main purpose of the DPF is to catch and hold the soot from unburned diesel untill it the car gets hot enough to burn it off. But DPF's can be a serious hazard. If left clogged the can easily set your vehicle on fire. Alot off mechanics hate them ass they really ddont do too much for the risk they pose on those that dont know how to maintain them
@@jonheezy mate i guess you dont understand how a dpf works.
They store the biger soot particles and later burn them to smaller particles. They dont convert any emissions like a cat. Actually the smaller particles are worse because they cant be filtert by your airways and migrate directly in your body.
So you collect all the shit and later burn it to tiny bitzs so you cant see them.
Ah yes, diesel particulate filter filter
Much like the fabled atm machine
Im confused. It jeeps the air clean then you clean the filter. Ok. Where does it go after that?

Doesn’t look like they’re showing all the steps. Why not pull the nox sensors and such and plug off the ports?
Hi TNT Zimmerman,
Thanks for your comment.
This example does show all the steps, although the durations of each have been reduced for the purposes of the video. In practice the process takes between 1-2hours for this type of filter depending upon how blocked the monolith is.
In this example there is not a NOX sensor fitted to particulate filter section of the exhaust.
To give you a more generalised answer; When the sensors are left in the unit, there is no need to remove them as the cleaning process poses no risk to the viability of the sensor, it is then subject to the same drying process as the monolith.
If sensors / balance pipes etc have been removed then we do need to block any apertures that are before the monolith. This is because the back pressure is required to get the most effective results from the bi-phasing fluid. All apertures that are post monolith have no effect on the cleaning process.
Kind Regards,

Interesting video guys, is the DPF easy to take off ? I have a 2014 Citroen C3 Picasso which had a DPS clean a year ago by a mobile operator but if it needs doing again I’d send it to you.
Hi Ducati SupersportsS,
Thanks for your message. Removing the DPF from a C3 should be straight forward. All the engine variants are very similar. It should take you under an hour but may be more difficult if you are working on the floor.
You are very welcome to get the DPF to us and we can get it back to a near as new condition (98%).
The systems that can be run while the DPF is on the vehicle all try to push the Soot and PM10 Ash through the filter, which is designed to prevent the PM10 Ash from passing through it. Therefore the effects are limited and only really suitable in certain component failure situations, not after normal service operation when the PM10 Ash has all built up.
You would be welcome to wait while we clean the unit or to send via courier.
IF you would like to get in touch directly please call or email us.

It’s a great idea but the cost doesn’t add up unless you buying a new dpf from your car manufacturer. You can buy a brand new dpf that isn’t much more then it costs to have this done. £165 for a new dpf for my car I’m guessing this costs about the same.
Hi Rodney,
Thanks for your comment. I think there is an additional aspect to consider with this.
As with Catalytic Convertors; Aftermarket units are significantly cheaper than the original, the single largest factor in the price difference is the size of the monolith (‘filter’) within the component. Whilst they do work, the service life is significantly shorter than the original, further more the component is required to work much harder (as it is so much smaller) which puts additional wear on the other components in the system, for instance the AdBlue evaporator (injector).
You are correct that the costs are similar, however given the above, I would suggest that it would be preferable to keep the original unit and completely avoid the compromises that come with an aftermarket unit.
Best.
@@dpfrefresh1185 hi. Thanks for replying to my comment. My aftermarket dpf as been on my car for 5 years now and not one problem with the unit or any other part or sensor. I understand your point but all adblue systems are very unreliable. Adding a chemical to an exhaust system is always going to cause problems no matter what or how you service your vehicle. Can I ask How long do you guarantee the dpf after your work.

Would soaking this in a tub of camping fuel/white gas do the same thing? Ive seen diesel injectors cleaned at home like this. Stuff just dissolves carbon on contact.
Hi Oh Boy,
Thanks for your comment,
This may have a limited benefit, however I would really recommend using a service such as ours to get a reliable result.
The reasons I would be concerned about the method you are suggesting;
-Soaking the monolith - Monoliths do not react well to extended exposure to moisture. Our processing method keeps the monolith soaking wet for around 20-40 minutes, it is immediately dried using a high pressure blower until it is totally dry. If you are proposing to soak the monolith, I presume you are thinking about 24-48hours and then refitting to the vehicle without drying.
-Removal of Heavy Metals - Some solvents will strip the heavy metals from the monolith, meaning it will not be able to operate as designed if there are only limited heavy metals remaining. Significantly reducing the service life of the unit.
-Removing the Particulate Matter - If we were to disregard the above, once all the particulate matter had been lifted by the solvent you would then need to wash it out of monolith. Low pressure washing (Garden Hose / Tap) will provide some limited benefit, but you do really require a high pressure system to clear all of the apertures of PM10 Ash, Soot etc. (NB Use of a Pressure Washer is not recommended, this applies high pressure water to a very limited surface area. We have seen the surface of many monoliths cut to bits where a car pressure washer has been used to try and clean the monolith, our system floods the monolith housing and then applies the pressure, this means there is no single point of contact and ensure the structural stability of the monolith).

Our system works within a closed loop, so the cleaning liquid is filtered and recirculated. We usually use the liquid for approx. 150 cleaning cycles before renewing the liquid and filtration. Both are sent to a specialist for correct processing and disposal (as you would use for Oil contaminated Water etc).
what is m3/ph? Did you mean m³/h or m³ph? Both at the same time does not make sense.
I have a vw 2.0 TDI with 107000 ,when is it recommend to get the dpf cleaned ?
Just cut it it’ll run better without it
So I have a similar car and I really wouldn’t worry about it too much unless you don’t let your car get hot. If it’s hot it’ll burn off everything in the dpf system. They have to do this because they were most likely idleing for awhile and not letting their exhaust get hot enough to burn all the stuff out.
The car will let you know
do i need to reset dpf in let say vcds for vw for exemple. or just put back and the car will relearn values?
@Alexander Harispuru,
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, you do need to carry out the adaption processes once a unit has been cleaned. It should essentially be treated as a 'new' unit.
It is important to complete these processes as the ECU calculates the relative impact level (saturation of the filter) with multiple factors usually including journey type, duration, interval between oil changes and many other factors as-well as the obvious sensors ie the differential / back pressure sensor and temperature sensors. The adaption process reset all of these calculations.

Will this give it extra lifespan before it requires replacing
@ D N
If well maintained Particulate Filters will not need to be replace during the lifetime of the vehicle.
These filters block for two reasons;
a) Natural Service Life, As the filters repeatedly regenerate as residual product (PM10 Ash) is left trapped in the filter. Eventually this will reduce the flow to the point that the filter cannot process the volume of exhaust gases and faults will be raised in the Engine Control Module.
b) Fault Preventing Regeneration, The Particulate Systems are very heavily integrated in to surrounding systems. There are many faults that will prevent the regeneration conditions from being met and therefore prevent regeneration. If enough regeneration cycles are missed the filter will block with soot from the engine and in turn prevent further regeneration.
Whatever the cause, our system removes all of the soot, PM10 Ash etc from the monolith (honeycomb inside) and leaves us with a nearly as new DPF. There are only two instances where the DPF cannot be recovered; saturation of oil and structural failure of the monolith (collapse).
Just chop the bloody thing out and it wont need replacing, or cleaning.

No risk for filter, more risk for the ocean...where do you think that water Will go???
It’s carbon dioxide deposit u are made of it
What is the cost of this machine?
Saving the planet one plastic jug at a time...
And it still doesn't help. Symbol politics
Btw there isn’t a website for www.dpfrefresh.co.uk ....are you still operating ?
? Website is still up.
What you talking about?
Brake cleaner ?
How did that thing breath
Never heard of a DPF being cleaned before. Must be bad fuel mixture of bad (cheap) diesel. Or just a VAG.
Where does the dirty water go?
Say goodbye to temperature sensors, and often break of catalisator part.
Thanks for your comment. This method provides is a 100% safe way to clean the monolith and sensors.
This system is based upon the patented cleaning method that was developed alongside DPFs when they were first developed.
The way the pressure is applied to the monolith means that there is no impact force, unlike when using a pressure washer which would cause the monolith to collapse.
In regard to the sensors, as they are completely dried prior to any current being passed through them they absolutely fine.
We have refreshed over 1000 particulate filters now and have never had any issues with collapsed Monoliths or Failed Sensors either in our workshop or reported to us by our trade customers.
Thanks for your interest.
Got rekt
Oof
I hear these systems have a problem with rusting and falling off.... Wonder why....
these systems got overheated and break due to a chimecal reaction with fuel specially if it unburned ,,you cant clean them with fuel as they react hard with it so i think they just use pressurized water and air to clean it
And how about that water, how is that purified again?

У нас так же промывают , только вместо гидроудара , удары ломом.

How to clean dpf:
Step 1: remove dpf
Step 2: throw dpf in the trash
Step 3 gut the DPF
Mr MadMax no just throw it in the trash
cero riesgo para el dpf ?la presión por gases no es lo mismo q la de líquidos ,
What happens with the waste?
Water is a nox sensors worst nightmare
Where r you based????
So where does this contaminated cleaner fluid end up?
In the sewage, but they will not tell you this, just delete the dasmn thing, no more problems.
@@lesliewelch6551 this is what I also figured out, so this is progress? Haha
@@lesliewelch6551 they already said its a closed loop system
Jeep renegade 2.0 multijet 140cv price???
What is the pressure?
Que líquido pasan??? Es solo agua?
How much will you charge??
If that liquid coming out of it was red, it would look like a scene from alien!!!
Looks cool!
you could also just delete your DPF and EGR system.
Straight pipe to the rescue
Take it down the motorway
Jobs done
Cool
If it is from a car that travels in the city, after a week it is as before, do not buy diesel to travel 20 km. per day.
Hi Diesel-td,
Thanks for your comment.
This Particulate Filter was from a company vehicle that is mainly used for motorway driving.
The bulk of the material that is removed from the Monolith (filter) is PM10 Ash. This material is a byproduct of the regeneration processes and is too big to leave through the exhaust system, thus requiring cleaning.
Kind Regards,
DPF Refresh.
Or buy a pre dpf diesel like me and my dad have
