It does add a pile of complexity that make one want to return to the days of simple electromechanical vehicles. The easiest way to simplify things again now is move to an electric motor. You don't need all that anti-pollution kit because there isn't any in the first place. OK, you don't get 700 miles per tank, but you do get clean and quiet (and significantly cheaper motoring if you can charge at home). Seems a reasonable tradeoff.

The company I work for has just had a Ford Courier van's DPF cleaned after the van went into limp, mainly due to it being used for short journeys. The mechanic told me that a regen involves over-supplying diesel, some of which washes down the bores, contaminating the engine oil. The oil level might even rise! He recommends _much_ more regular oil changes, because of this. I like the idea (from another comment) of opening the DPF chamber, throwing away the contents and welding it back up!

There are several reasons why there are companies that clean filters. 1. they use hot liquid for washing. 2 they recycle the liquid. 3 their cleaning liquid is filtered and the waste is disposed of correctly. 4 there is a guarantee on their work. Not like your solution, where chemical liquid and particles run directly onto the ground and contribute to contaminating the groundwater. It doesn't matter now, it's your grandchildren who can't drink water, unless it's cleaned WITH chemistry to remove solutions that you and others use now. think about it

Cleaned mine with the same fluid about 2 months ago, back flushed when rinsin aswell maybe 20-30 times also used air pressure which help blow out some of the red ash at the end and alot of the water. Worked for me lowered my dpf pressure from 250mbar at 3k rpm to 50mbar at the same revs. I also used the same chemical as brick acid which really helped with the red ash was a weakened version but did the job.

@johnpatterson5744 7 месяцев назад

The pressure in the DPF should be no higher than 10 mbar.and one should never let the diesel fuel in the tank drop below a quarter,preferably a half tank of diesel for the DPF to function properly.👍

@beany1987 7 месяцев назад

@johnpatterson5744 50mbar or kpa can't remember at 3k rpm this was directly after cleaning with water still coming out and before it has done a regen aswell. Havnt checked it since, but will check it this weekend and see what it's at now 4 months later.

@s.wilson5675 6 месяцев назад

@@johnpatterson5744 No more than 10mbar on idle, ideally half that and 50mbar at 3krevs is very good AFAIK. The DPF will normally get blocked for a reason.... Built in fault code with some vehicles (around 120k miles), sensors not working, nozzles blocked, etc.

Been 6 months now its flushed all the water, lose soot and Ash out that was broken up by the chemicals along with a few natural regens. The pressure is 6mbar on idle and around 50 at 3.5k so it did the job very well and was very easy to do.

I leave the DPF on the vehicle. Just disconnect the exhaust joints and cover the exhaust holes with plastic bags. Then stick the powerwasher lance up its snout. You don't have to disconnect any sensors as they do break unfortunately. I just fitted a new NOX sensor, but all the threads stripped removing the old one. I just drill it out, sit the sensor in place and mig the sensor. Saves a lot of hassle

The main reason the contaminants dont flow through the filter is because the particle size is too big. by using a solvent the dissolved contaminants can become smaller than the filter can hold and it will exit, so those on-car cleaning methods *can* work, but taking it off and cleaning in both directions is by far the best way.

All this off vehicle DPF cleaning and DPF filter blockage can be avoided completely if the DPF self regeneration process took place as the vehicle system saw necessary. However if your fuel gauge is always below 1/4 level , the ECU will NOT kick in the self regeneration process….ending with a filter so blocked that forced regeneration with diagnostic tool or self regeneration becomes ineffective.

@nkakaputa9293 8 месяцев назад

@donner101 Yes sir. As long as the DPF has not been left to point of blockage the system will periodically self clean.... the ECU looks at the fuel level to commence this process. Because of the extra fuel required to achieve the high temperatures.

i had problems with me last kuga had to remove the dpf to clean it. did clean it before via dpf pressure sensor tube this worked just as well as the removal watching the pressure drop on my forscan system. then doing DPF rest the values. the biggest problem is people don't investigate correctly as to why the DPF regen is not working in the first place to keep it clean. Mel this could be to the fact that your DPF pressure sensor is faulty. also make sure that your sensor when you get fits in place and goes as deep into the exhaust as the original or you could get incorrect readings. that sensor works like a 02 sensor it needs exhaust flow over it hence the holes in it.

it doesnt matter which way its flushed, best not to use narrow stream or turbo nozzle pressure washer on ceramics. soot doesn't matter, it can be flushed out after soaking in dishwasher tab or washing liquid, its the red ash that needs dissolving. wynns works to a point and needs 2 days, actually coca-cola works pretty much the same. alloy cleaner or HCL works better and does the job in 2-3hours,

Hello... during cleaning should I remove the sensors off the dpf

@BigVanSmallWorld 4 месяца назад

I’m not sure if you have to I did and I broke my so if ever I need to do it again I wouldn’t remove them good luck with yours

If you drive plenty it should never need doing. My work transit has never had an issue and currently on 170000 I do 250/400 miles a day I guess that’s the trick

@danny6574 7 месяцев назад

@BigVansmallWorld Your reasoning for taking off the dpf to be cleaned is flawed. The dpf captures the bigger particles created at lower temperatures when the engine is cold. Then burns them off during the regen allowing them to passthrough the filter. Blowing a cleaning solution into the dpf dissolves the soot into small enough particles allowing it to passthrough the filter.

@krimke881 8 месяцев назад

Can you name all the tubes and wires going on to the dpf? it's not all sensors are they?

@BigVanSmallWorld 8 месяцев назад

Basically yes they are the one I broke was a heat sensor the two pipes are for a pressure sensor that senses the difference in pressure between the inlet and outlet of the DPF if the pressure is high on the inlet side and low on the outlet this tells the ECU that the DPF is blocked 👍

@kenkenny4238 Месяц назад

Would the high pressure from the washer do damage to the dpf

@mel I have a problem you may have come across mate. I have a 2017 sprinter - pooling water in the footwell by the pedals. Heavy rain is giving me water .

@Dickie2702 9 месяцев назад

@danielhines5698 In a normal regeneration cycle the soot is burnt off at high temperature, very different to removing soot by chemical methods. Slightly different to using a chemical flush and then pouring the resultant debris in an open ditch. I'm sure Mel is a lovely chap but he is in this case setting a very poor example. Sorry if that offends you or Mel but sometimes the truth hurts. I

@gorillacyclist 9 месяцев назад

@@Dickie2702it's soot that's basically carbon. Carbon actually absorbs lots of bad stuff - it's used in NBC suits and filters and such, so while looks dirty it's ok. No worse than emptying a BBQ.

@andreadossi 3 месяца назад

The reason why dpf additives are used inline with the flow is because they make tue ash burnable thus allowing the filter to catalyze it , still a nasty process for the enviroment

Hi Mel I know it says off car but is it possible to do this on vehicle as I don’t have the means or place to remove it ?

@whippetsadventuresandoneman 28 дней назад

@@BigVanSmallWorld unfortunately I don’t have the funds to take to a garage. I’ve used everything including the foam dpf cleaners and it’s still saying dpf on my scanner. Now again goes into limp mode switch off and on the van drives fine again. Getting fed up. Starting to feel my ecu is fucked because ever time I scan it comes up with other sensors then I scan again and there gone :( I sick of these modern vans

You do not have a DPF &🎉 ADD BLUE in same vehicle, it is one or the other !

@merlin1346 9 месяцев назад

In theory your right, in actual fact you are incorrect. Wet cleaning is just as effective from the 'inlet' end of the DPF especially if the DPF is near vertical such as a Mercedes S class. One other point, is the heat sensor going to be at the right depth into the gas flow...

@nigeldlm 9 месяцев назад

That's probably why a lot of companies clean a dpf on the vehicle? You went from a £60/100 job to £500 or more depending on vehicle ! BUT you have only fixed a symptom of a fault that was causing your dpf to not be doing regens to burn away the soot ! Usually when they block it's because of ASH that needs cleaning but soot is usually a different problem !
