CITROEN, PEUGEOT, DS DPF CLEANING 

You are a noble gentleman to be producing such pioneering public service tutorials. A hard worker too to be driving the taxi as your main work, then doing your own mechanicing to preserve the wages you have earned for your family. You a top fellow, Sir. Kind regards.

8:44 am Melbourne Australia. Great easy to understand instructions

Good job, I took mine off and then stood it up, filled it up with Mr Muscle oven cleaner and left it over night. Hose piped it out the next day and all the crud came out. That was 5 years ago and the light has just come on again so I know What I will be doing this week. The same again.

Hi, you are a star, followed your really helpful advice on my old faithful 308 1.6 Hdi (2011) with 56000 on the clock, low mileage as i live less than a mile from work (short journeys) over the last 6 years and the car has been playing up limp mode, warning filter clogged for the past 2 years but has limped on by the rare longish trips & using additives added to the fuel tank every other fill. The issue i had was the car is undriveable after 10 minutes, popping & clanging, preventing me from a long drive, so a couple of months ago it got so bad it took me over half an hour to get home from work, i thought the engine was going to explode, eventually limping down a slight gradient into our drive where it has remained for the last couple of months destined for the scrap heap. I have been walking to & from work for a month as the sun has been out & a month ago i bought my sons cast off, it's petrol so no dpf problems. I came across your video on yt & as i am on holiday from work this week & not doing much i thought i would give it a go as you make it look sooo easssy. it's not!!! it took me longer to get the undertray off than the dpf itself lol... the undertray won't be going back on as 3 bolts have sheared. I found a large bucket (the wife's planter pot) i've not told her yet lol & put 4 dishwasher tablets, those with the red ball in the middle & filled with hot water, dumped the dpf into that & waited for a while for the tablets to work their magic, whilst waiting i checked out your part 2, follow up video & decided to go straight for the pressure washer after 26 minutes in my dishwasher tab's potion, with great success, as the pressure washer did it's stuff & launched over 10 years of soot over myself, once composed & prepared for the on coming further drenching i was to endure for the next hour, dpf running clear water, i re assembled said dpf & cranked the old girl back into life. No warning lights on dashboard, unusual..... after 20 minutes on tickover i cautiously exited the prison that had been the old girl's grave yard, still with no warning lights on the dashboard, i headed for the main road, my knuckles gripping the steering wheel so tight, waiting for the limp home & engine lights to re appear but for the next 45 minutes drive all was well, i even took a trip on the motorway during this time & the old girl has never ran so well, responsive & behaving herself for a change, i even gave her body a drenching to wash away months of green growth that had built up in places from her standing dormant. Sorry this is a bit long winded, i really want to thank you for taking time to make this guide as it has been a life saver for the old girl / person lol........... A word to people who are in / were in the same boat as i, follow the guidance of this wise man & save your car from the scrap heap......

Good video....I have just done my 2012 Berlingo DPF....I cleaned it but when I had done that I could see into the exhaust part of the DPF that the core was coming apart....I bought a new one for £150....I think it probably is not worth cleaning the old ones given the price and the work involved in removal/refitting.....But good luck to anyone who does it anyway....Refilling Eolys tank is my next challenge.....

Well done thank you for your video very useful👍

Thank you , ive researched best chemical to clean . Brick cleaner ( high strength) diluted 3/4 water and 1/4 brick cleaner acid , around £12.00 per 4 litres . Apparantly this will rid the dpf of ash deposits and for the soot ....drainer cleaner diluted . Thank you for this video as im doing my despatch van soon .

Thank you!

I can’t undo the sensor at the bottom of the DPF. Any idea what the sensor is like on the inside there? In considering using heat

Want to see the test aswell big man - that would be interesting if water was still in the DPF.

Hi mate just came across your video. Mums got a ds3 1.6hdi and only uses it only for short journeys. Recently had a message pop up saying ‘risk of particulate filter blockage’ followed by engine management light coming on as well as the service light. Car is currently regening and been doing it for the past 20 mins or so. Do u think this method would help?? Thanks

I whant to see engine runing and see every thing fine mate even show us the dash speedometer as well mate thankyou verymuch

Hi, very nice video! Thank you! Does it has dpf filter left in the upper part of the dpf which is still on the car? Or it is not necessarily to clean it? Thank you

Did your dpf light go straight out after cleaning or did you need to clear it on a obd?

Great job 👍💯

Can i use ordinary soap for washing. I have checked for the solution but not available st market

Interesting video.... BUT..... The purpose of the filter is to collect/burn all the bad stuff. So when you clean it, and let all the waste water and particles run straight out on the ground, i get really sad....

Hi great video, what year is this. I have a 2017 peugeot 3008. Do you think the process will be the same?

Thank you

Just be careful when the dpf is not dried properly it can crack.

is this a citroen ? i have a citroen c5 1.6 hdi. i need to clean the dpf on .thanks

How hard is it to remove the pressure sensor because I’m having trouble removing it?

It’s dark. Can’t see uninstalling and installing the DPF.

Hi, did cleaning help or you had to replace filter finally?

Just be careful mixing chemicals ! 🤯

I'd at least give it some fairy liquid......?

I bet this dpf is destroyed inside till now

All them FRENCH DIESEL DIESELS cars are pure rubbish shite and I can't understand why people are buying them and have been a mechanic for 40 years please please read what I have said .

it is yor garden or customer? stuff from dpf its a poison LOL
