Took my Golf 7 2.0 DSG for Intake cleaning then came back smoking alot. Then DPF Started coming on after I drove at cruising speed for 200km or 125miles. I drove at 100 km/h at third the revs were at 4000rpm. Then it suddenly stopped smoking then the engine light started to flash. It only stopped smoking when fuel is on reserve but when refilling it would smoke a lot.
Oh the way we save the planet, using a DPF to store the nasty waste products for a while to eventually have to drive so hard that you can unclog it by blasting all the waste out the tailpipe anyway! There jus choosing when the emissions are dumped, and making sure it's clean during initial testing.
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?
LOVE HOW THEY ADDED DPFS (THINKING OHH THEY ARE GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT) BUT REALLY THEY ARE BULLSHIT EXPENSIVE AND THEY CLOG EASILY, HAVE TO BLAST THE SHIT OUT OF THEM ETC
So do we stay in 3rd gear all the way through the journey?? Because of my dpf issue my car is killing me on fuel £30 diesel gives me 70 miles 😲 frigging pis take
Hello people i have a range rover evoque dynamic 2.2 diesel engine 2014 and unfortunately on dashboard does not show the DPF symbol .. how often i need to run to make sure the DPF not fall... but every day im travelling 12 miles from home to work and then 12 miles from work to home .. is that enough for DPF or not ... i hope understand what i mean thank you all
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
They regen every 350km roughly. If you keep putting the regen off because you don't know what the car is doing and by continuously doing short trips this will happen. My guess is it would take another 150-200km of short trips after it wants to regen to throw this light. They regen at 23.5g of soot load in the DPF, and a fault is around 34g I believe. If you watch your RPM at idle, when it is in regen status, it will rev at 1000rpm apposed to the regular 800rpm. (AC on when its hot will also rev at 1000rpm) so pay attention. Drive like he does in this video during that time to get it over with faster. If you've gotten to your destination and its still going, in park rev and hold the engine at 1800rmp-2000rpm, it will peak the EGTs, to help finish it faster as well. You'll know when its finished because the car will suddenly start revving higher at the same throttle position. Let the car cool down after before turning off. If you just start a regen cant finish the regen, turn the car off, then turn it on again to cool down, then finish the regen next time you drive. It wont start the process again until the car is moving. It only needs 15 minutes of continuous driving once its at operating temperature to regen. All this happens without most people noticing, this light just means, "let me fucking regen you idiot!" If you get a Polar FIS gauge, it is all explained by watching the data. I wouldn't say its the best product, but it shows you the data in real time.
Also, the CP4 fuel pump is efficient but fragile from what I've heard, I throw some Stanadyne lubricity formula in with each tank. Also, It doesn't matter how much driving is delegated to city or highway, its going to regen around 350km every time. Being on the highway while is in regen is the absolute best because it is consistently at those optimum operating temperatures induced by the ECU to do the most efficient/effective burn. Just taking it out on the highway while its not regening will do nothing. EGT are only high enough to burn off soot when its induced.
worked for me but it took a bit longer about half an hour or so until the light went off. i have a 1.6 tdi golf so i just filled it up to about half a tank and drove it down the motorway at about 70mph in 4th gear which kept it at around 3000rpm and it worked
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 dpf filter is the only thing i hate about my car i live on a small island and the main road is 10km long so its a nightmare to drive long enough for the filter to clean itself
Have an automatic 308 peugeot put in dpf fluid in tak and filled it up with diesel, however I did you advise and it didn't work , can anyone tell me what or why the light won't go off even it says 127 thousand on the clock??
I didn't have the light on but my engine was idling rough. I used fuel system cleaner and it gets fixed everyime but the problem comes back after a week or so. I thought it could be the EGR but I just tried this and the engine performance went back to normal without adding fuel system cleaner so now atleast I know the problem comes from the DPF and not the EGR as i thought
the easy way is just go to a garage that has diagnostic pc , let them plug into the car, they can do a static regen for you, no need to drive the car then ( i work at a diesel injection garage, we do 3 or 4 static regens a week )
