Citroën DS3 Risk of filter clogging, DPF aditive pounch top up & how to clean the DPF.

in this video I'm topping up the DPF aditive bag and cleaning the DPF FILTER on a Citroen DS3.
The car was displaying a message on the dashboard saying: Risk of filter clogging.
Fault code: p1490 particulate filter detected to be overloaded.
SOLUTIONS:
-Do a regeneration
or
clean the DPF filter
Make sure there is enough DPF aditive in the bag!
thanks for watching

Rick, this is one if not THE best how to Video on acar I have seen. Thankyou so much for your clear no Bullshit approach!

[@hippydudemaxx]

Great video man. Tiny tip, when pouring from a full bottle like the cleaner bottle you have, do it upside down and you won't get the 'glug glug glug'; just a nice straight pour with no wasted.

[@colinrashleigh6488]

Brilliant best I’ve seen l had a big bill for my c3 they put a new filter in and reconditioned the injectors with only 19,000 miles on the clock it looks like it only needed a clean I’m going to do it my self before the mot thanks man that was great 👍

Hi, I just watched your video and wanted to ask you soming real quick. I'm about to pay 500 quid on Monday for a DPF removal, cut in half, cleaned and remap as it has been regenerated and the same warning still comes up. However I've runned 2 diagnostic with 2 different garages and the fault code is the same P0420, Particle filter overloaded. Checked with a DPF specialist and they said is the catalytic converter or oxygen sensor, what should I do man? Hope you see this before Monday bro, Thank you in advance

[@DuncanInUK]

Have exactly the same car and the same issue, but can't get the bloody sensor and the 12mm bolt off! Any tips or advice?

[@ESSA20]

excellent video, I have citreon c3 2011 1.4 hdi , I've just had additive level too low message show up on the screen, so I'm going fill the pouch up, but not sure how much I need to fill it up by?

[@ESSA20]

hey, another question is this Fluid fine I read its universal in the euro car part description. the original is the green type like this but says eolys powerflex. I had ebay seller tell me I need to buy the pouch, but the pouch is and fitting for c3 mk 2 are exactly the same as a ds3.

[@kels7183]

Hey, just come across this video. I have the same car and have the “risk of particle filter clogging” I have a question. I have already replaced the bag with the fluid, the levels are fine and I’ve told the Ecu, so can I clean the dpf and then just tell the Ecu that it’s been replaced without having to tell it about the fluid and without filling up the fluid again?

[@Rick_Motorsport]

Hi, yes you can do that. Cheers

[@kels7183]

@@Rick_Motorsport thank you

[@simonrafia4519]

I need to do the same job on my DS3 E-HDI, do you have time and how much does it cost?

[@smyffmawzz]

Ive had this for the last 6 months and ive been using redex in the tank when i fill up . Could i just remove the bag of additive and if so would it stop the display message in my cabin . ??

[@markopecurica4463]

Is there a way to do regen manually without computer?

[@ant.9940]

Quantos kilometros tinha o carro na altura e quantos tem agora?

[@vaidotasjuozapavicius8638]

Is it worth to clean dpf or better to replace it with a new one? How long can you drive after cleaning until risk of clogging appears again?

[@connectlogic]

If its fully clean it's the same as brand new

[@mikesmith5638]

I've got the citreon c3 Picasso 1.6 hdi, is that the adblue tank your filling?

[@Rick_Motorsport]

No, it's the DPF additive tank!

[@SmallPaul.]

Question my additive low warning is on along with service light I can get the additive to refill but computer reset is an issue for me so how long can I drive the car for before issues

[@mattguy3938]

I've heard on forums its around 1000 miles before engine goes into limp mode

[@socrateskamposos2583]

What program you use for cleaning the error?

[@aligholami3342]

Hi My Peugeot expert says Part add level low How u charge to topup

[@shady4422]

Hey bud ive got a 06 ford cmax tdci and couple days ago i had a message come up on the dash so i plugged scanner in and got the code P2585 Fuel Additive Control Module Warning Lamp Request so i think mine needs filling up to but over the last couple days the code clears it's self and the message on the dash disappears,Do u think it could be something else or definitely needs the pat fluid topped up.Cheers

[@keb9967]

Did you fix it ?

[@shady4422]

[@krivickas]

Hi, I have P1445 error on my Citroen. Additive liquid refilled. I also have Autel tool. Should I do that programming of additive level procedure to reset this error?

[@Rick_Motorsport]

Program the quantity of the additive in the tank and try to do a regeneration.

[@juliom6260]

Hi mate Did you solve your problem ? How did you do ? Cheers

hi I have a DS3 1.6 hdi 110. today I use my autel tool and it tells me ash level in filter is 98%, I have force regen and although much white smoke come out from exhaust after regeneration still says ash level in filter 98% and total weight of soot is 1.009 g/l. is this saying I have almost blocked dpf? I have no management light. but I believe car feel sluggish and rough idle. atm 105k miles not km

[@Rick_Motorsport]

I would remove and clean the dpf including the sensor and the reset it.

[@Antsummerfield83]

@@Rick_Motorsport do you mean choose replace dpf on the tool? Also I can see the dpf pressure sensor has been replaced before

[@gone-in-sixty-seconds8617]

Sounds like your DPF is partly blocked, and needs just the DPF removed and cleaned, and then clear the fault codes, and also program the ecu telling it the cars had another DPF fitted.
