Drop your gearbox into 4th gear at 70mph and drive for half hour on the motorway to force regeneration.

Hi, excellent job and video bro. Liked and subscribed. I'll do exactly the same on my Vaxhaul Insignia 2.0 cdti 2013 so your video is massively helpful. My question is how the hell did you took off the oxygen sensor cable connector out (the sensor that is still on before the catalyst). I did remove the dpf but I had to unscrew the plug twisting carefully the cable, not ideal. There is a yellow securing clip on the connector below the upper one which I removed but didn't help. The upper connector doesn't move by any means. Thanks in advance.

Hi buddy, are you talking about the lambda plug to harness connection?

[@Giokosmik]

@@CGRemaps yes,exactly

[@oglynch1921]

Hi mate. Can I gut the whole thing or do I have to leave the cat part in?

[@CGRemaps]

You can leave the cat in if you wish to remove the dpf.

[@Chris-jy3dm]

Can I removed/delete without remap my insignia cdti 2ltr 170 bhp thanks

[@CGRemaps]

Hi, dpf function must be turned off in ecu software. Otherwise you will still get errors codes, limp mode and smoke from unburnt fuel due to dpf regeneration still processing.

@@CGRemaps thanks for your reply 👍👍

Hi, Is that something you can do? Will it effect the MOT emissions ?

[@stevenmckinlay4478]

1/4tank, something to make fuel burn hotter. Go race Italian style

[@CGRemaps]

Italian style will cause more soot. All electrics on in vehicle, etc heated seats, heated window, ac on max, lights on and a nice long steady motorway run. This is the best way to force a regeneration and stay away from supermarket fuel as well.

[@nathanhuitson1418]

Has that dpf been open?

[@CGRemaps]

As you can see, we have cut open to show the extent of how badly the dpf can block, creating a blockage in your exhaust gas flow and strangling your engine, which in turn can create even more issues etc limp mode, poor performance, poor economy, burst intake pipes and turbo damage if not sorted.

@@CGRemaps I thought that was the case mate, I was going to say if you could open them, that would make life so much easier to clean, I just had a blocked dpf on a Vauxhall corsa, no power at all, took it off cleaned it, now power is back, no back pressure coming out of the exhaust, I need to do an oil change though, was over filled by 2 litres, which I think is from the diesel injecting into it

[@CGRemaps]

@@nathanhuitson1418 let me guess 1.3cdti? Common problem on this engine too, diesel will get into your oil so make sure you do a oil change asap.

⁠@@CGRemapsspot on mate, I don’t really know a lot about cars, but I like to play around with all sorts, it had one bad glow plug, so changed that too, it’s a 63 plate 92k only payed £300, hoping to make a nice bit of profit on it, I’m just waiting on oil now
