BMW X5 E70 3.0 4D00 Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor 480A 481A Particulate Filter System DPF Cleaning

diesel particulate filter cleaning

[@kevinoconnor7684]

Jimmy..That launch cleaner is some stuff. Good result for someone driving the vehicle for a year with the fault lights on..

[@pdonneky]

I've found that after a short run after the clean and the programming of a new filter fitted, the mbar's can drop even more after a natural rolling road regeneration,

[@ORileysAutos]

Yes it does 100 percent

[@robertclarke8631]

Just a heads up jimmy my x5 reads the same fluctuations between 8 to 12 mbar Glow plug module needs replacing as that can cause the it to block too

[@marcingrabowski4729]

Can this method also remove ash? is it only to unblock the dpf that has been clogged? very good job, best regards

[@johndutton2895]

That pressure seemed really high before you worked your magic. Whats the highest you’ve seen before Jimmy?

[@anthonyhamilton9236]

Should the DPF backpressure pipe/hose be hollow? I tried to blow through it and it appears to be clogged?

[@ramingtonstill]

Hi, where is the DpF pressure sensor in north American X5 2012?

[@stephenanderson4051]

I have a 2012 X5d (N. American model) .....I've the same DPF problem (I think) but am having difficulty locating the hose/sensor connection....I know its in the same area but it seems they did some slight mods......any suggestions (I can send a pic from the same angle you hooked up yours if it helps)?

[@kucickula]

Did you finded out i have same model and year and plan to clean got dpf code?

[@stephenanderson4051]

I did not. I looked extensively but just can't seem to locate it. I'm now making plans with my mechanic to remove the DPF and running it as a straight diesel in the coming weeks. Hate to do this without first trying the cleaner, but its getting to that point@@kucickula

[@thindo]

He was probably afraid of the BMW premium to get it fixed that's why he drove it for a year without getting it fixed

[@Eddie-yh4ly]

maybe it needs a carbon clean 😆
