2014 Vivaro Traffic Blocked DPF Cleaning Amazing Results!!! PT 3

[@colinnewlands743]

I was worried for they guys lungs. Surely he should be wearing a mask. I felt like coughing myself just watching it.

[@mikeclifton7778]

Me too, having worked with dusty granular carbon it's not nice stuff to be breathing in !

[@mercedes_and_more]

100%, we know that NOx is carcinogenic. Shocking.

[@ericfawcett5770]

Just started watching Mask defo needed

[@nofiltersenzafiltro9596]

what does not kill you make you stronger enough with masks lol

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

hes an absolute moron for breathing that in.

[@hi2lenduffy837]

Does he connect himself up to that machine once a week and blow his lungs out

[@135Ops]

You beat me to it!

[@daveheptinstall4423]

Good video Rob as always. I really hope your DPF cleaning man watches it and sees what he’s breathing in every day. He’ll be like a coal miner who smoked 60 Woodbines a day in a few years.

[@englishmaninengland4591]

You shouldn’t worry about the sound quality because you’re honest & engaging in all of your videos. You do amazing things with all of your vehicle repairs.

[@stehaughton5074]

👍👍

[@gareth212]

yeah its nice that they always make a note to say sorry for the bad audio. I see so many vids from other amateurs they have **** audio and don't even realise or apologise. So its great hay they say sorry - but honestly the audio is absolutely fine 99.999% of the time there days - pro work boys!

[@TheGourmetSnapper]

The joys of Euro 5 and 6 diesels. Nice to see the diesel particulate filter being professionally cleaned rather than just thrown away / recycled for a costly replacement.

[@gordonbartlettgb]

There's a few DPF cleaning videos on here, they're quite satisfying to watch!

[@mohitl1697]

Guy doing the DPF cleaning should wear a proper particle filtering mask!! All the soot going in his lungs isnt doing him any good

[@arthurtwoshedsjackson6266]

I was thinking that and was going to comment and say the same. All that crap coming out of the DPF filter and straight down his lungs. It’s bad enough at work smelling it when the Merc HGV I drive does the regeneration on the DPF and you can smell and taste the carbon and other stuff from it

[@buddysinsight9834]

The human body is not supposed to inhale rubbish like that he should really put a mask on.

[@barbaraneville5036]

At least Rob had a mask on :-) Chemicals Soot Particulates People die of that stuff

[@rhkendall]

Fancy having his lungs after a few years, full of diamonds.

[@sammytheseal2307]

Lol. I would have expected he'd wear goggle and a mask. All jokes aside a repeat of asbestos springs to mind!

[@matthewc.419]

😂😂😂😂😂👍👍

[@lardy600]

Yes I thought this also

[@GRIBBO-77]

Never even heard of a DPF before you guys mentioned it the other week, let alone know there are people who offer a service flushing em out. Another life lesson learned curtesy of Salvage Rebuilds Community College 😉. Cheers for video, you have a good weekend too 👍👌

[@ashleyburton8605]

Would of thought he would wear a mask! 🤦‍♂️

[@markclarke1105]

As a rule I’m not in the van during the cleaning process but the auto cleaning function packed up, I proceed doing the clean manually as the Chemicles had already entered into the filter during set up. My Lungs are all good, I had the rear of the van door open for flow of air also I had my duel fans blowing also to the rear operating during this procedure so the soot particles didn’t linger in the van while I was operating it manually. This routine is not a normal day to day clean routine, thank you for all your concerns but breathing this in daily is not the case.

[@sammytheseal2307]

That's good you've come along to clear it up mate 👍 I think everyone's concern was you were possibly doing this all the time without a mask

[@markclarke1105]

I have taken in other viewers comments and now have invested in breathing apparatus over the weekend just in case this situation happens again as I’m quite busy with the machine being in my van.

[@sammytheseal2307]

@@markclarke1105 Great I'm sure everyone was just concerned for your well-being, I understand comments can just come across aggressive though 👍

He won't reach retirement age if he keeps working like that.

The way you guys work together, both know your place, it's obvious Chris is the wizard with the mechanical side NOTHING seems to beat him, and Rob your a wizard buying,selling, sourcing stock spares and just get stuck in and do anything, what a team you both are, I have massive respect for both of you and the stuff your BOTH turnaround is just 100% top class and genuine.

[@trainmanbob]

Excellent update Rob and Chris. Van really sounds as sweet as a nut. The guy doing the work is a real diamond..his Doctor said so when he last had his lungs X-rayed!!! Looking forward to the finished item and the cost breakdown. Have a good weekend guys. Cheers, Bob

Brilliant to see what actually happens with a DPF clean Rob and please thank the guy for letting us see it. Chris is a proper grafter who knows his stuff, you and he make a brilliant team. Thanks once again.

[@robertregan5412]

Rob and Chris in one of my old work place we use to take the DPF off and block up the pipe holes and the bottom of the DPF and we use to pour about 4lts off coke down there over night, and in the morning drain out the coke refit the DPF and it cleared it out and no more fault codes and no problems when driving the vehicle. Keep up the good work bro Rob the Welsh boy 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Brilliant job having it cleaned rather than getting a new DPF. Nice to see it running

The mechanical wizardry of Rob and Chris strike again, cracking video chaps ! 👍👍

Nice that we can now see our new salvage rebuild employee. Mark clarke, although I didn't appreciate you guys showing my bath water half way through. What a great detailed video from start to finish. I love it when the vehicle gets its face back on and smiling. What a nice van. Well done guys 👍👍👍

[@stuartyaxley5308]

Another cracking video and I did enjoy the dpf cleaning and your fault finding is spot on.

[@ginobragoli1448]

Nice to see for a change a service that are willing to clean and fix something (DPF FILTER) rather than just throw it away and replace it. Well done guys++++

[@trevorjarvis3021]

What a result with the van! I think you managed to achieve what everybody else had given up with on that van. Credit where it’s due Rob and Chris! You both did well sticking with it! 👍👏👏👏😅😥🤪

[@luukvandenakker241]

Awesome Rob, bargin it is. Btw, check the coolant temperature and its dpf regen. If the coolant temp stays too low (due to a stuck thermostat or something), the ecu wont trigger a regen since it is not up to operating temp, that will def cause a blocked dpf. Cheers Rob, enjoyed this one!

[@leona_devon]

That was really interesting to see the cleaning of the DPF, I didn't know they could be cleaned out, so cool.

[@richardthered]

You guy amaze me with how well your mechanical expertise make difficult jobs do-able. DPFs are horrible jobs to do and expensive. We had a fleet of these Vivaro vans at work brand new, always had issues with them out of 10 brand new vans 3 had DPF problems within 2 years. I remember asking my boss how much the work was and was told it was roughly about £800-1200 of work depending on where you go to get the work done, lucky i think he got it fixed on Vauxhall warranty in the end, i remember him fuming over it as i think he brought the van rather than leased or hired . Must be a common fault. Great video again lads. Thank you for the education as always :)

[@neilfairless4589]

Rob, i wonder how many of these vans have been scrapped because of this fault? Massive job well done.

[@nokomokwele6205]

In South Africa they were branded as Nissan Interstar and were sold as minibus taxis. Most of them were recalled and fleet owners lost a lot of money and nissan suffered reputational damage

[@generalt1090]

[@cinccave5459]

While looking through this video it shows what a great team you make. Chris has more the technical acumen and you have the contacts and business sense. Or so it seems to me. I'm not saying either of you two couldn't do both. Maybe it's just the two of you doing what's most comfortable for you both. I could be wrong on this but what I am not wrong is that you two make a great team and I hope you enjoy your teamwork as much as it appears you do on your videos.
