You have used FAP cleaning product near the top of the catalytic converter. This foam could not get into the FAP filter because the FAP is located in the lower part of the exhaust. In short, you put foam in the wrong hole where you should have :)
I've literally just fixed my Citroen Berlingo 1.6HDi using the same approach but with Mannol DPF cleaner. I could not get the O2 sensor off with just the spanner so I ordered a 90mm 22mm long reach socket that has a gap cut into one side so that you can fit the O2 sensor wiring through in order to loosen the nut. I used a breaker bar on the socket as it was very tight. I did not even use the whole 500ml can. I let the car idle for a while then took it for an 18 mile drive up and down the motorway. The DPF warning light as well as the EML came on one more time to put the car in limp mode but I pulled over into the hard shoulder and cleared the fault code to take back out of limp mode and went back to the motorway driving. You can easily clear the error code causing limp mode with just a cheap code reader off Ebay. The port to connect your code reader can be found inside the glovebox or around the steering column if you are in Europe. I hope this is useful info as it really can be done and it's not complicated.
Hi does this really works? I have the same problem on peugeot 3008 1.6hdi 2011... I will try it tomorrow, how long does it need to leave after you spray dpf cleaner?
How does anyone know you have a blocked DPF ?, as far as I can see you simply used a can of cleaner then started the engine, The engine started fine , with this in mind I think this could be yet another fake video
The video isn't fake 😂 it just says "how to unblock a blocked DPF" the engine will still start and you can still drive... the spray loosens the soot which will help to clear the DPF when the engine reaches a certain temperature (600°C) while driving... also helps to add a diesel additive into the fuel tank which supports DPF regeneration this will also help the soot to clear at a much lower temperature while driving.
@@MrMaster2262 thank you for the tip brother, I don't know how to explain this but my car feels kind of choked when I'm driving like it doesn't have full power, also a bit of rough idling when starting up the car, gas smell from the exhaust and the exhaust also has soot in it. Could it be a bad Purge valve? I know the cleaning would help but if I don't sell the problem of what caused the suit and the congestion in the catalytic converter it will repeat itself
@@lucidfairytales The loss of power could be something simple like a dirty EGR valve (clean or replace) also check around the hoses for any signs of being dirty from oil or carbon deposits... cracks or tares in hoses could be causing a vacuum leak which will also result in loss of power. If you have a OBD2 reader do a Live Data check when vehicle is idling and test that your accelerator pedal matches the revs (rpm ×1000) on the Live Data check... some models the throttle position sensor on the accelerator pedal needs replacing which can also cause loss of power if the sensor isn't telling the car how much throttle to give. It could also be the butterfly on the manifold which has become dirty overtime and not opening or closing properly. it is easy to clean with brake cleaner, an old tooth brush and a rag to wipe it with... I would start with the EGR first and see if that resolves your issues. 😉👍 I hope this helped... Good luck
Use the same method with the spray but also add a diesel additive into the fuel tank that supports DPF regeneration... this will help the soot to burn off at a much lower temperature when driving... you simply add the bottle to the fuel tank right before you top up at a fuel station... its that simple. you don't need to waste money getting someone out to flush the DPF through costing you hundreds of pounds... the DPF was designed to clear itself when engine temperature reaches a certain amount. its just over time the soot becomes a little overwhelming and needs additives to help loosen it up which will burn off easily when you are driving 👉(it is that easy)👈
