Wall-flow diesel particulate filters usually remove 85% or more of the soot, and under certain conditions can attain soot removal efficiencies approaching 100%. Some filters are single-use, intended for disposal and replacement once full of accumulated ash. Others are designed to burn off the accumulated particulate either passively through the use of a catalyst or by active means such as a fuel burner which heats the filter to soot combustion temperatures. This is accomplished by engine programming to run (when the filter is full) in a manner that elevates exhaust temperature, in conjunction with an extra fuel injector in the exhaust stream that injects fuel to react with a catalyst element to burn off accumulated soot in the DPF filter,[3] or through other methods. This is known as filter regeneration. Cleaning is also required as part of periodic maintenance, and it must be done carefully to avoid damaging the filter. Failure of fuel injectors or turbochargers resulting in contamination of the filter with raw diesel or engine oil can also necessitate cleaning.[4] The regeneration process occurs at road speeds higher than can generally be attained on city streets; vehicles driven exclusively at low speeds in urban traffic can require periodic trips at higher speeds to clean out the DPF.[5] If the driver ignores the warning light and waits too long to operate the vehicle above 60 km/h (40 mph), the DPF may not regenerate properly, and continued operation past that point may spoil the DPF completely so it must be replaced.[6] Some newer diesel engines, namely those installed in combination vehicles, can also perform what is called a Parked Regeneration, where the engine increases RPM to around 1400 while parked, to increase the temperature of the exhaust.
Diesel engines produce a variety of particles during combustion of the fuel/air mix due to incomplete combustion. The composition of the particles varies widely dependent upon engine type, age, and the emissions specification that the engine was designed to meet. Two-stroke diesel engines produce more particulate per unit of power than do four-strokediesel engines, as they burn the fuel-air mix less completely.[7]
Diesel particulate matter resulting from the incomplete combustion of diesel fuel produces soot(black carbon) particles. These particles include tiny nanoparticles-smaller than a one micrometre (one micron). Soot and other particles from diesel engines worsen the particulate matter pollution in the air and are harmful to health.[8]
New particulate filters can capture from 30% to greater than 95% of the harmful soot.[9] With an optimal diesel particulate filter (DPF), soot emissions may be decreased to 0.001 g/km or less.[10]
The quality of the fuel also influences the formation of these

He then probed the power which also proved the sensor is giving a false signal but still felt the need to generate a signal. The term using a sledgehammer to crack a nut springs to mind. It doesn't take a genius to work out that a pressure sensor being exposed to exhaust gases is going to have a rough life. Most people would rightly take the sensor off to inspect it after seeing a spurious reading, he calls Chris Topher a "part changer" and attempts to publicly shame him by pinning the post, well he likes to call people names I have one for him too, a Bully!

[@rafiekahmed8568]

Hi this in my opinion was a awesome demonstration of the correct procedure of fault finding instead of doing gas work. The idea was not only show that the sensor had to be replaced but show and prove that everything else was fine before pointing at the clogged sensor.I have 25 years of experience and sometimes I rush things by being a parts changer and there was times where I was caught on the the wrong side.This video is purely based on theory for a apprentice/trainee.

Diakun you do know modern petrol cars have a PPF? Petrol Particulate Filter which uses the same differential pressure sensing mechanism which is prone to the same high heat soot failure modes over the years of use?

Just dont buy ford shit

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

@@aqib2000 not all of them and very few before 2018. If it bothers anyone that much they source a car without one! Petrol particulate filters aren’t prone to getting blocked up like diesel particulate filters because petrol engines heat up quicker and run hotter than diesel engines, so more of the soot that’s collected in the filter is burnt off.

[@gerigesquiere66]

Citroën CX 2.0 HDI. Regeneration every 250 km too many short rides in town. With EGR Off regeneration every 900 km. To check regeneration connect a control lamp to the rear window heater connection. When regeneration is active keep - lamp on - driving until the control lamp goes out. So you be sure regeneration proces is complete. If you not let complete the regeneration it will repeats over and over again. This means more consumption, degradation of te engine oil and faulty glow plugs.

[@randyvalantino6850]

A very helpful fix for drivers would be if the car itself gave info on how full the dpf is . That way they could judge better when to take the car for a regeneration run . Long before the yellow drive to clear light comes on . This would help people manage the dpf and avoid costly repairs.

Hello. Can a problem with DPF pressure hoses or sensor be the reason for too frequent DPF regenerations? Thanks!

[@TheGibby3340]

Interesting...with a delta P type sensor, in the event 1 of the 2 sense lines ruptures. Is it possible because it is no longer sensing differential (ambient pressure one side of the diaphragm) this excessive delta could distort the sensing element. Off setting the Zero? Good Vid Thx

I have an audi a3 2.0 tdi as soon as dpf gets to 11g soot content it jumps up to 21g and initiate a regen which complete perfectly would this be a pressure sensor issue no warning lights on dash no fault codes

[@AllThePhobes]

Damn, i'm looking at getting a mark 2 2016 kuga diesel, this diagnosis looks complicated as Fk, like i could pay £££ just for the diag time. So now i'm thinking ''do i want to risk another diesel?'' living in a small village & only doing short commutes, both my zafira & vectra ended up with blocked dpf's. But i do love my diesels, i was thinking i could buy a cheap scan bluetooth to phone thingy, im hoping such a thing will tell you when you are due a regen, ie.. a blast up the motorway. Really don't want a petrol. Would the tool give me such info?

[@fredbettesworth5397]

id it worth getting the dpf cleaned as part of routine maintenance

[@radulescu21]

Having some minor dpf issues lately made me monitor it for a couple of days. I was also curious of state of my DPF. It's a 2012 Mondeo 2.0 tdci. You can get so many opinions on the differential pressure that I am now even more confuzed if mine is good or not. So I get 0.0 kpa at idle. Driving in 5th gear, steady speed of 100km/h, 2000rpm, I get 2.0 - 4.0 depending on road incline, or last regen. 140km/h in 6th, I get around 7kpa. Full engine load at high speed gets up to about 17-18 kpa. Some say my dpf is blocked, some say it's totally fine. Does it sound like it's alright?

You may find the liquid which comes out isn't water/condensation but actually acid. There's been issues with the rubber pipes degrading which then allows the exhaust gas to react with the rubber causing an acid to be produced which goes into the sensor and buggers them up.

hi mate as you can imagine it's going to be impossible for me to guess and tell you what is wrong without looking and diagnosing the car properly but I would suggest you go to somebody who can do a forced regen or clean your DPF the chances that it is just blocked and can be saved is very high but it will need to be diagnosed properly before that no point me saying anything as I don't want to put you in the wrong place and cause you money and especially to waste your money but I would say it can be cleaned

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Hi mate it could be as you can see from the video too many things you will have to get it diagnosed properly if you don't have the tools you'll have to go to somebody that does there is no point guessing in this as it will cost you a fortune if you are wrong you can see what I had to do to make sure I got the diagnoses correct you do not just guess

My God! You mean that the system doesn’t self check itself for zero baseline. Quality science used there by the programmers. Must be modern science!

I’m shocked You’ve never seen a Sensor fail like that. . .

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

I spoke to a lot of people I know when I spoke to have seen a sensor to fail in this way

[@pdonneky]

DPF Sensors are the most common faults on DPF cars/vans

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Yes they are but you still need to test everything because as you can see from the two parts of this video there was two problems with this car
